Houck vs Medina
Medina: RHP, 1.54 WHIP, k% in bottom 10th percentile, good slider, a lot of hard contact, a lot of walks.
Houck's last two starts weren't great. Has an opportunity to turn it around.

* They need another right handed bat
Maybe RHB should be a higher priority?
Priority is starting pitching. Second priority for me would be a fielding SS (RHB preferable). Third would be a bullpen arm.
However, Casas is still not taking live BP. We don't really know his timetable. Do they need to add a RHB for 1B too just in case?
Aside from the risk of losing the DH at some point in the game, what's bad about it? It's also just another option to get a bat in the lineup, not a requirement.
That site is for people that sniff their own farts. Pass.
Interesting that those same posters you reference were intrigued by the Cooper Criswell signing unlike other that complained about it when it happened.
Adequate for what? For a bench spot? Sure. For a starting spot? Depends on how he plays going forward. He's been in a little bit of a funk lately and that may continue. His OPS was really driven by a power surge that I don't think he can carry for very long.
