Gasper will find enough playing time in WOO. While the pitching down there is outstanding, the hitting is pretty rough. Aside from KC, Romero and Sogard, it has a lot of guys that probably won't have MLB impact (and that's stretching it for Sogard).
I think Pete's point is that it's impressive that there are that many 40 man people onsite almost a week before the reporting date (includes KC and maybe a rehabbing Casas). He's been going to Spring Training for a long time and maybe it's not always like this.
He'll be 39 this season. I think it's just more important for him to be at home, so a team is going to have to make it worth his while. He was a 1 fWAR guy last season, but was only paid 2.25M.
Dogfight in as such that they are real dogs. I think the back of the 6-8 guys in the bullpen should have been upgraded unless they plan on bringing up the live AAA arms like Early and Tolle.
He had a 416 OPS last year vs LHP. I think he's going to have to be paired with somebody to (a) provide rest for his body and (b) give him a break from tough lefties.
