Well as I said earlier today, after being talked out of Bauer last month by some of y'all, I did start to waver a bit this morning when it looked like we would get him. With the opt out after year 1, I figured, why not give it a shot.
That said and now that it's a non issue and Bauer is a Dodger, I feel kind of relieved that we aren't going in that direction. I agree with Odorizzi suggestion as he'd be nice filler until Noah came back hopefully healthy middle of the summer. I'd go for Paxton as well if need be.
It sux that we lost out on Hand to the Nationals but I wouldn't mind adding a Trevor Rosenthall to add some depth to the pen.
I'd also go for a Kevin Pillar to add to the OF as I just mentioned and to be honest, I think we'll be just fine with JD at 3rd and McNeil filling in there at different intervals. Our lineup is so loaded and the staff very solid and the pen looking fine that I'm pretty much ready to go to war with what we have as I think we'll do just fine.
Get Odorizzi, Rosenthall and Pillar and let's call it a day and get ready for ST in two weeks...
