If you got to pay them anyways and they arent in your long term plans and have very little value in short term then it isnt a good argument to keep the because you are paying them.
I think most people would be delighted if both were DFAed and their contracts eaten. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen.
And, again, has nothing to do with Solarte.
phillipmike said:You exactly do that to help your team short term which can help long term. For example Solarte can play 3B which Morales cant and Tulo wont so if Vladdy is up you can play Solarte at 3B and DH Vladdy more. It opens up a lot of possibilities for the team when you have more versatile players.
Guerrero will be playing 3b for most of next year. Past him, they also have a young player they just acquired in Drury who has been an MLB regular at that position. Plus Diaz and Martin can take reps there and do just fine.
Why on earth does the team need to carry 5 guys who can play 3b? Do you plan on carrying only 2 outfielders?
There isn't enough room on the roster to carry everyone and Solarte is the worst and oldest of the options. Bye.
