I wonder if Rasmussen is available.

Hasn't Alcantara thrown at Acuna many times? Can't see them bringing him in.

I'd just rather give an opportunity to guys like Ritchie or Burkhalter than keep Elder on the roster, especially if keeping Elder means Waldrep is in AAA.

I agree. Elder's usefulness to the team has run out.

I get the feeling at most they'll add another versatile Dubon type who can adequately defend at SS and just rotate guys around.

Yes.

Maybe they're loading up on lefty relievers because they intend to offload Bummer's salary? Probably wishful thinking.

From MLBTR: That’s before factoring in potential trades or non-tenders of arbitration-eligible names like Gavin Lux (projected $5MM salary), Will Benson ($1.7MM projection) and Sam Moll ($1.2MM projection). Would Lux be a decent Plan B to a Brendan Donovan? Looks like Fangraphs hated his...

They must have some more real estate they need to acquire.

Okay, I guess you're more emotional about this than I am. I don't care that much, but it's not a great sign given last offseason's cheapness.

I mean, the guy had an ERA under 1.00 with the Braves. It doesn't alarm you that they're not willing to pay him $5.5 million?

I just don’t believe anything AA says anymore, and I get the impression he thinks all fans are idiots.

This is essentially what I'm expecting.

That would be so disappointing.

They don’t acquire him if they’re not planning to pick up his option.
