I added a couple of Ha Seong Kim and Hye Seong Kim to the middle infield which means we now should have a considerably higher floor and be able to rest Devers/have better replacement for when Story gets injured. It also allows Grissom to get reps in AAA and prove he's ready and healthy. I also added guys that while they're not on the list below, feel like suitable options. Chris Martin after all has been fantastic for us the last two years and I feel he absolutely should be at a $7 million valuation. Darwinzon Hernandez probably doesn't make sense to most people but he had the best K-BB% in all of the NPB last year of any pitcher with 48 or more IP (29.9%) which was considerably better than Roki Sasaki's 21.6% mark. He always had nasty stuff, but it looks like he's gotten better control of it and he had a single digit walk % in spite of his massive amount of strikeouts. He's definitely worth a shot at $5 million. Also we need a new closer and what better way to stick it to the Yankees than to grab Clay Holmes to lock down saves whenever Hendricks isn't available and $10 million is quite reasonable.
