There' no reason not to to see what you have, especially with all of the players that have done nothing (like Madeiros) as the alternatives. I agree especially with a 26 man roster. Collins is not a absolute guarantee. Yermin could get a try as a bat. Grandal being a switch hitter would allow some mixing and matching. If no Grandal, I would be scared but could you go with Collins and Mercedes being primary DH's (Collins struggles vs LHP) and Collins as your #2 catcher, Yermin emergency catcher?
November 1, 20196 yr Author So far everyone is pretty much right on target with the cuts. Probably more interesting when we see the additions.

November 2, 20196 yr Author I could see Fulmer in a change of scenery trade ala Thornton years ago. A worse team may be willing to give him more time. I am trying to think if getting him thru waivers would be easier now than at end of spring. He has talent and pedigree so I expect someone would take a chance so maybe he has some value.
November 2, 20196 yr I could see somebody like the Rays fixing him. I don't know what their pen situation looks like though.
November 4, 20196 yr May as well give Fulmer one more shot. Not going to get anything of value for him right now, and as CWS said, he is out of options.
