Which is the difference of having Pearce in the lineup everyday over a guy like Carrera. Also you got to factor in that EE had a much friendlier home ball park. I think I saw a thing that Morales was top 5 in the league last year for hard contact. I'm really gonna miss Edwin but I'm also excited for Morales and I think people will be surprised how close statistically they'll be by the end of the 2017 season. Im excited for the coming season and Morales as well. Progressive Field is even more hitter friendly than Rogers Centre. Edwin is going from Top 5 to Top 3.

If someone doesn't like this signing it's clear that they don't know much about baseball. Feeling a lil more confident about the bullpen having Biagini Grilli Howell Smith Osuna as arms that you can trust. If we could get one one more decent lefty, things are looking really good.

Im hoping that Lefty is Girodo and not Loup...I have had enough of him.....I think if Floyd stays healthy he will be a bonus...feeling pretty good about the pen. Smith brings something we havent had in a long time..he is almost a submariner which will give us a different look.

Agree 100%. Right now that's 23/25 mlb slots full. I'm assuming Gavin Floyd would be the 6th starter so that leaves one spot. If no other arm is signed Loup/Goins/Pompey could potentially get it. I'm not sure how the Rule 5 picks work either so Glenn Sparkman may have to be on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he does. If not he's sent back to his old team's minor league system. I could be wrong on this though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team that selects a player in the Rule 5 Draft pays $50,000 to the team from which he was selected. The receiving team must then keep the player on the Major League 25-man roster for the entirety of the next season, and the selected player must remain active (not on the disabled list) for a minimum of 90 days. If the player does not remain on the Major League roster, he is offered back to the team from which he was selected for $25,000. If his original team declines, the receiving team may waive the player. Once a player is selected, he is automatically assigned to his new organization's 40-man roster.

That's good news it's only the 40 man roster. There's still hope they'll get one more major league arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think we have a really competitive roster! 1) Aaron Sanchez 2) JA Happ 3) Marco Estrada 4) Marcus Stroman 5) Francisco Liriano 6) Gavin Floyd 7) Kendrys Morales 8) Russel Martin 9) Steve Pearce 10) Devon Travis 11) Troy Tulowitzki 12) Josh Donaldson 13) Jose Bautista 14) Kevin Pillar 15) Melvin Upton Jr 16) Ezequiel Carrera 17) Justin Smoak 18) Darwin Barney 19) Jarrod Saltalamacchia 20) Glenn Sparkman 21) Joe Biagini 22) Jason Grilli 23) Joe Smith 24) JP Howell 25) Roberto Osuna Edited February 6, 2017 by Xbox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
