He had a really good spring last year, definitely will see him at some point this year. Also not having played in nine months they are going to give him a lot of at bats.
Besides the Dodgers I don't know of any other team who might be better then us at 7-9. These spots in the rotation are usually wild cards, hopefully one or two develop.
Spending like drunken fools has not worked for the Yankees, not sure they are going down that road again. Might sign a couple free agents in next couple years to go with there young core, but do not see them going overboard.
I'd be very happy if Sandavol is a 2-3 win player. I do not have high hopes for Leon, hope I'm wrong. My guess is by June Swihart or Vasquez will be the starting catcher.
Again I did not say he was a bad pitcher I respect everything he did, but to watch him was painful. You do not have to show me stats every time I say something.
I always found it difficult to watch Wake. He was a very serviceable pitcher for us for years, but always afraid of that homerun ball or if runners on base a passed ball or wild pitch.
I think a lot of fans go automatically to worst case scenario. Not good news but in no way means Pom needs Tommy John or Wright will miss significant time.
You are exactly right every other team goes through the same things. My guess with all the money John Henry spends, he's not going to cut corners on his medical staff.
You compared it to the Bagwell trade, Bagwells a hall of famer. Sorry but the odds are against Espinoza being a very good player, especially an allstar.
