And no I'm not saying Texas should make a pitch for him but they do have some good young arms to offer. Including Englert in a trade for him would have been more palatable than what went down...

Good 96 MPH fastball with a Pretty good slider.
Might be a good under the radar bullpen piece

I think they need to let him learn both. He probably needs to be a DH, but he would be a lot more helpful if he could fill in in a couple of different places if need be. Then again, he can already play 2B and he has a very limited amount of time at 3B.

The thing is, I believe our man Crim is going to beat him to Arlington and he can already play 1B.

Bench
Huff, Smith, Foscue, Leody- could be any of the mentioned below too..

Still didn’t have room for Thompson, Duran, Ornellas, Acuna, Harris, Saggese,

When the time comes 2025? They could always trade Lowe and let Foscue DH and trade Adolis and let Harris start in RF.. that could help restock the farm for 2026 and after

I wonder how far away Gutierrez is. I am also interested to see what kind of a push Morrobel makes in our prospect rankings in 2023.

Seems like a low risk pickup with upside.
He closed one time

Seems like a low risk pickup with upside.
He can strike guys out

Him and Lee will at least provide some very solid minor league depth. I would imagine there will be another couple of relief signings like this one.

 

[saddles]

Looks like this guy had the news first again. His first scoop in awhile though.

Another wounded warrior. Missed 2022 indicates a major injury. Hope he is healed completely and is back to where he was.

I’m interested to see how those 2 shake out as well.
JoJo Blackmon is another one to keep an eye on.
