$4.5 million for that guy. What a waste.

We paid 5 mil for Sizemore and he never hit the field that season. I think Salazar will pitch sometime this season, who we get though, that I have no clue.
 
Intriguing bats on bad or likely non-contenders who could be available at the deadline:

Beyond 2019 Options

OF Domingo Santana, Seattle (RHH)
-Coming off a great 2017 campaign, Santana had a poor 2018 and was mostly used as a reserve in Milwaukee.
-Off to a hot start in Seattle, has hit safely in 12 of 14 games
-Good walk rate, strikes out a fuck ton, not great defensively
-2 more years of arbitration beyond 2019
Interest level: 6.5/10 (Just not totally sold on him, depends on the price)

OF Mitch Haniger, Seattle (RHH)
-High average, good power, good walk rate
-Not the best defensively
-Arbitration eligible for the first time this offseason
Interest level: 10/10 (Really good offensive player in a position of need, on what should be bad team, with 3 years of team control beyond 2019. Perfect fit, but would not come cheap)

OF Joey Gallo, Texas (LHH)
-Prototypical 3 outcome player
-Tremendous power, great arm, improving defensive
-Arbitration eligible for the first time this offseason
Interest level: 7.5/10 (Assume the price would be high and he worries me some with his high K rate)

"Realistic" Rentals

OF Nicholas Castellanos, Detroit (RHH)

OF Yasiel Puig, Cincinnati (RHH)

OF Corey Dickerson, Pittsburgh (LHH)

1B/DH Justin Smoak, Toronto (LHH)

Jefry Rodriguez getting the 1st crack at Clevinger's spot. He has big time stuff, just doesn't always know where it is going right now. Will be fun to watch.

What would you feel is the depth chart for our starting pitching at the moment? Clev is out, Plutko, McKenzie are still on the DL, Civale is as well, so who would you say the depth chart is from our minor leagues when it came to pro ready/could be a candidate to see this year?
 
In Rodriguez's 8 scheduled starts last season:

6.75 ERA
1.66 WHIP
7.2 K/9
1.11 K:BB ratio

3 of 8 starts allowed 2 runs or fewer
5 of 8 starts allowed 4 runs or more

1 of 8 starts made it into the 6th inning

He does project better as a bullpen arm than a starter, since he struggles with command and repeated delivery, but if he can find command, hes got a 95ish fastball and a good curveball, with a couple other off speed pitches. Just gotta see if he can keep his command.

Seattle is 12-2 with best run differential in baseball. Just tied KC in the 9th.

My 1a. guy for a potential OF is David Peralta.

Yup, I meant to include him as well but somehow overlooked the NL West when finalizing my list. Adam Jones and Greg Holland would be intriguing rental options from them as well

Who is 1B? Haniger?
 
Seattle ain’t gonna be selling anytime soon...

The fuck is up with that team?
