I'd be interested in a reunion

I would only be interested in a minor league deal-he was awful this spring. Was never a big fan BUT we need all the depth we can get right now.

Yeah, unless he's throwing 98 MPH and blowing everyone away down in Florida, you have to imagine his 40-man roster spot is very tenuous. 

Are those games public? Would scouts even get in to see if he was lights out?

He pitches an inning or two for the Orioles today.

Without these types of moves all we'd have in the system would be guys like  Hess, Wright, Wilson, Grimes and Means as our top of the system SP depth.  Instead DD has basically bought us some depth over the years by primarily taking advantage of teams with 40 man roster crunches.  

Chris Lee- Houston- for int'l draft slots

Jayson Aquino- St. Louis- for cash

Ynoa- Mets- for cash

Verret- Mets- for cash

Nuno- Dodgers- for cash

Gunkel- Red Sox- De Aza Trade

Asher- Phillies- for cash

Garcia- Red Sox- Rule 5

That's 8 of our top 10(Wright, Wilson) SP depth that's been acquired for "some" cash, international draft slots and De Aza.  Pretty amazing until you start thinking about the SP's he's dealt away.  

We really need a nickname for these guys.  We had the "Calvary".  What should we call these guys?

Well I hope there is a better name than that for them. But then maybe not.

I just want to point out that it's Cavalry not Calvary.
