Yeah and for league minimum at that.

One of the guys in an MLBTR chat predicted 4/$54 or 56 mill for Benintendi. Can't remember the exact amount but also not worth much as it's just a guess.

Yeah you'd basically have to use the saved money towards both 2B and the starting rotation. I would prefer to stay in house at 2B and add someone better than Gallo but don't really hate the idea.

Yeah, I don't think he has the arm for RF. I would be ok with it. I was thinking the other day that Gallo on a one year, rebuild value deal could be great for a team with the shift going away next year.

Anyone who watched them could say that honestly.

Well, at least Hahn doesn't look like he's in a hostage video this time.

Small thing, but I hate when managers/coaches have regular numbers. I feel different if the manager/coach played on the team though.

It’s a player option worth $13 mill.

Who ever knows. The more people who use the ignore feature the better.

If anything, Grifol would help the younger guys in camp, backup than the almost 34 year old, on the downside of career veteran.

I have also heard the same about Frank. Now my friends who have met Bo on the other hand...

I would be more in favor of this if it started in like the 13th inning. Give them another 1/3 of the length of a game the old way.

Home run derby

Thanks. I just quickly checked Baseball Ref.

The combined for -.5 WAR.

I don't know, you'd still have a very flawed roster.

Yeah, I don't blame them for wanting to grab someone from the Rays staff.

I am a fan of former catchers as managers so he does have that going for him (at least for me haha).

I could see why people would be underwhelmed but no reason to really hate it....yet.

It's not TLR, it's not Ozzie, it's not a former player who is not actively coaching (AJ, Thome, Getz, Paulie, etc). Solid.

There’s still enough “good” (I think?) candidates out there to not f*** this up.

Exactly. Depending on who they ultimately go with, it could be that.

Is this who you hinted at the other day?

I’m waiting for an official hire before losing my s%*#. Don’t think it will be him but wouldn’t surprise me at all if it is.

Wasn’t it reported he interviewed?
