Their pitching staff alone costs $200 million? News to me! You said they have depth. Now they need to find a top end starter. Maybe they take on Grienke's salary. Maybe they sign someone. Starting pitching is still important in this crazy game.
I never understood why they decided to move Remmers to guard full time. He was an average tackle which is actually a compliment compared to the talent in the league. I think he's awful at guard.
I'm more worried about Reiff's health than his ability. OL with foot injuries isn't a good sign. If he proves to be healthy I agree he stays. The dead cap hit is far greater than Rudolph and Remmers. Both of them are no brainer cuts.
$7.6 million unguaranteed. He's restructuring or released next year. Same with Remmers and Reiff. There are outs for both players that make sense to do so.
That's a head scratcher to me as well. I really like what I see from Hill. I've never been impressed with Alexander at any point over the last 3 years.
Stacking and openers don't excite me at all as strategies. It may help win a couple more games in the regular season, but it will get exposed in the post season. Don't get lost in the weeds. Starting pitching is still very important in the game and wins championships.
Well, we're making progress knowing this D coordinator needs to go immediately after the season. And I think if Fleck is going to make it in a power conference he needs to hire a former head coach or 2 to lead both units.
Every team is looking for their AAAA depth and that's what these 2 players are. Sucks for the fringe players this time of year because they're going to be yo-yo'd around for the next 2-3 months.

I'd prefer to aim higher even if it looks like we're set in the OF... Similar to what Milwaukee did. I respect your take though. I agree they need 2-3 really good bullpen arms, a legit SP, middle IF, and someone who can play both 1B/3B.
