Looking at the 40 man roster, it is harder than you'd think to add an infielder to the 40 man with how many guys are hurt and sticking with an 8 man bullpen. You'd basically have to DFA Kreidler. Moving somebody like Laweryson or Abel to the 60 day IL would make sense.
Kinda reminds me of the excitement around trading for Banda after the Dodgers DFA'd him... he was unironically called "elite" by some. Let's give Gomez a shot but it's way too early to have an article like this.
I will say that I didn't realize just how bad Funderburk's peripherals were, 7.3 BBs/9 to 5.6 Ks/9 is atrocious. But still, a bullpen with Garcia and Banda throwing BP, he's still one of the better options.
Lee has hit well, but has a poor arm and abysmal range... sounds to me like a 1B. We could sure use one, given they'll continue to trot out Clemens and sign the next bum free agent to a one year deal every season. And they're not training anybody worthwhile at AAA/AA to be the next 1B. Gonzalez has played a little 1B and Mendez didn't end up playing there outside of 2 AA games.
Bell's OPS threatens to fall under .600 OPS... that good stretch of hitting from him the first two weeks of the year is firmly in the rearview mirror now.
I would have expected him to land something around $15M a year, given what other receivers got paid around that much in recent free agent markets. He would be WR1 on a team like the Dolphins or Raiders, so it's curious to see him sign for so cheap. This is the first I've heard about the drama Levi is sharing.
