Just reported tonight.

Huge question as to whether he will be any good, but hey he's LEFT-HANDED !!!

Credit Holland with recognizing opportunity. Not at all sure that Holland will head north with the 26-man, but there is that 2018 season to dream on.

Keep looking, BC. Jimmie Anderson might be in the next dumpster.

He is worth the risk. They need some left handed pitchers so why not bring him into ST to see how he does.

Not sure. He is an old 33. Coming off a horrid year and doesn't have good career stats at all. I would have gone after Tajuan Walker instead.

Looks like Seattle could be interested in Walker.

Now that most of the good nuggets have long been taken, it is time to continue panning for gold just in case there is one potentially valuable nugget left.

I too would prefer to see them take a chance on Walker over Holland, but hey, there is room on the picked over bus for a lot of folks.
