I would not have Bogusevic there, whip is too high.

[chandler44]

Eh, I debated it, and it's an improvement over what he's done for us previously.

Pretty much I decided - it's my list, so I'll put him on there if I want

[vega51]

Still, very high whip, 1.50, thats Wandy kind of number from last year.

[chandler44]

Feel free to make a list as well.

[ikedilligas]

What's the scoop on Danny Klassen? I see where you said "Career AAA". Does that mean he can't make it in the Bigs or just that he has spent his whole life down there?

[chandler44]

He's 32 and has only managed fewer than 300 major league at bats in his career.

He's a typical AAAA player, so to speak. He usually does well at AAA (due to his age and experience there), but never can cut it in the bigs.

[vega51]

he was a good prospect a long time ago as a SS.

He K too much and not good enough defense to make it in the majors.
