Where have I heard that before?

Agreed.

Sign them both and you are really well covered.?

McCann has plenty of value to the WS. Any trade acceptable to our FO should be an overpay.

Like the player (Villar) but not this option.

This is what I have anticipated since day one. He is an excellent bench piece at 4 million. Once he doesn't find any takers at 6.2 million...very good chance he comes back home imo.

You are not alone on Engel. I think he is a very worthwhile bench piece.

Fast and bad.

Great...I have a game worn jersey of his.

Breathlessly,,,"do you have this from a reliable source?"

Somehow this signing escaped me when it happened. I like it a lot!

Pretty typical I would think.

Yep...cost money instead of players. In this case a 2nd round pick but small price to pay.

He does look great ...makes it look smooth and easy.

Very true.

I'm like Jose...I'm a one team kind of guy. I couldn't spend the amount of money these guys will make if I tried.

That's one word for it.?

I have always thought both would be offered extensions. I know some folks think Robert already has the money to turn down an extension but I bet he's chomping at the bit. Madrigal is a sure thing as long as Spring goes according to plan.

So are players like Robert.

This is an interesting name. Haven't heard his name brought up before. Looked him up and his history looks promising.

He would be a great addition if the price was as you suggest.

I'm an Engel guy myself. The bench probably will have room for both Engel & Garcia.

Yolmer back with us a 4 million wouldn't surprise me in the least. He is a good backup infielder. Just not worth 6 million.

I don't know if it was intentional but Grandal should serve as an inducement to most potential pitchers all else being equal.

My guess is Madrigal is extended in the last days of ST just like Eloy. Just need to see him have a solid Spring.
