No thanks on either of those guys. Maybe Domingo Santana can bring his mix of K's, dingers, and poor defense to one of the corner spots? Pillar could work too.

<t>We have zero evidence that BC didn't ask for Varsho. We also have no evidence that AZ was willing to trade him. Add the fact that he is also the only C prospect in their top 30. Add the fact that, as pointed out by someone before, he's 23 and headed to AAA. He's a bit ahead of the lower level pro...

Not good. The lack of a FO, and, therefore, the lack of a clear message to the staff in limbo leaves them vulnerable to being grabbed by competitors. This is some of the fallout of the completely messed up way in which the house cleaning was done.
