GDT: 3/18 FRIDAY THREAD, MIAMI vs ATLANTA

Alex Torres has had a good spring, giving us one lefty for the pen.

But no one has stepped up to claim the second lefty spot. I have a feeling there will be a waiver claim or trade at the end of spring training for the second lefty.

I think ManBan and Big Hat Torres will be our LHP in the Pen to start. Viz/Grilli will be 8th/9th.. Winkler, Alexi, Ramirez will round it out. 7th inning guy will be whoever steps up and keeps that role.
 
Too early to send ManBan to the pen given his potential as a starter. If he doesn't make the team as a starter, I'd rather send him to the AAA rotation. He apparently still has an option.

I am fine with that, as long as we can get another lefty for the pen.
 
I just realized Maikel Franco is hitting over .320 with 7 homers and 17 RBI. Spring or not, the Phillies have one solid asset with Crawford moving forward.

After seeing what he did last year.... Franco is the real deal. He's the next superstar 3B if he stays healthy. Not as sold on Crawford. Still has some offense holes he needs to work on
 
Wonder if EOF or Venters can throw over 80 mph anymore. Maybe Wagner would come out of retirement. John Rocker is looking for work. Or maybe just acquire a right-hander who can get lefties out?
