Sure but Krehbiel and Gillespie can be sent to AAA.    Politi has to make the team or be sent back to Boston.

 Correct.  That said I don’t want them carrying him if for tomorrow. Better be able to help.

Already starting off with health issues, something I have discussed a lot this offseason.

On top of that, your bullpen is getting attacked at the back end already, which is maybe the biggest part of the team with the way it’s constructed.

All of this is bad news.

Hall being slow to get going in spring sucks too. He needs to pitch as much as possible this season. Let’s just hope he can start the year on time.

Hall starting a month late might not  be too bad as long as he can get healthy.  He was probably limited to 130 IP this year any how.   It might allow his to pitch through Sept/Oct.

Thanks. I couldn’t really offer an informed opinion on anybody. Just for nostalgia, I’d love to see Britton back.

We definitely have more depth than before. That should help. 
 

Does not sound good with Tate at all. Not sure if Knebel is healthy or not.

Why would he be limited to 130 innings? We went from less than 40 innings to about 100 last year. 
 

He isn’t full go this year but easily should be able to go to 140-160 innings.

More importantly  though, he doesn’t need set backs that cause him to miss part of the season, even if it’s just a few weeks.

[LTO's]

Bautista is the big one but it sounds like they are being cautious with that one. I wasn't counting on Hall to be a contributor right away and at least the injury isn't arm related. The RH depth they have now especially with the acquisition of Givens should soften the blow from Tate's injury. If Baker's second half last year was real, he will also go a long way in helping there as well.

Injuries could push Tyler Wells to the back end of the pen.  He had a 95 mph fast ball as a reliever.

Was just thinking more could be asked of him from the pen. I didn’t have him in rotation before this.

Tate suffered it in November?    Hitting Driveline too hard early in the offseason?

Felix's performance was so good last year I wonder a little if this is just spring fluff and he's saving bullets, but certainly would have been nicer not to hear this.

It is fantastic for $$$$/WAR is guys throw their Arms out over a couple few years and then you just cycle the next Driveline guy in.

We have at least got past the Day 1 reports without any whispers of Grayson soft tissue owies.

While GM's were waiting to get the 60-day DL back, Matt Moore along with Britton was one of the top 2022 performers I think some decent team will actually want and probably will command more than Givens $$$.     $$$ for talent always nice to do when you can.
