You've already texted Wynns about this right?

So additional bullpen depth.

Not yet. Was going to do that after I finish with the Sisco Voodoo Doll.

Yeah, thanks for sending it. But next time, hair from his head is fine too.

You'll take what I give you and like it.

Kinda but not really.   I think he is Mountcastle replacement at 1B for Norfolk after Mountcastle is promoted in late April.

I like that, I want Mountcastle on the team as soon as he can get an extra year of arbitration.

So why is Wynns still on the 40 man?

One would now ask if that has to remain the case...

If Taylor Davis is coming on an MiLB contract, it doesn't matter. A month until Spring Training and any number of things can happen before Opening Day:

 

Injury, ineffectiveness, or a trade.

Depth right now is good. If Sisco, Severino, or Wynns gets hurt and may miss a substantial chunk of time, Holaday or Taylor could get on the 40 as insurance. If a team calls and asks about Severino and offers up something that gets Elias interested, open roster spot. Taylor or Holaday come into camp and hit .100 with 20 strike outs, they can be released without another hit to the 40.
