Pitching
- SP Nathaniel Davis: Veteran lefty on an expiring deal.
RP Sergio Tormes: The perfect rubber-armed, trash-time "biscuit" to sop up a sloppy start.
RP Ernesto Viera: I doubt anyone is more desperate for a lefthanded reliever than I am, so let me use Ernesto like a park bench ad seeking a lefthanded reliever.
RP Mike Adams: Wrapping up a rehab stint, this former #1 shows just enough that his pedigree may carry over into the back end of a contender's bullpen.
- C Garm Guldenmond: This guy has developed into a professional, everyday catcher. Let's get him in the postseason.
1B Numan Abu al Khayr: Helloooo, Numan! This perennial last cut of spring training is actually off and running with the line-driving hitting skills he's shown at each level of minor league ball.
3B Brian Dixon: Captain and solid hitter on manageable, expiring contract who is due one more run for postseason glory.
CF Joshua Zorn: See Ernesto Viera as park bench ad...
OF Stewart Illingworth: I thought this veteran addition on a 1-year deal would be just the piece we needed to scratch our way back to .500. Stew's been excellent, but even his nails aren't long and sturdy enough to get us back to .500.
OF Julio Barajas: Maybe you jumped ahead to see if our blue chip was being placed on the market. He is. It kills me to make Julio available, but reach out if you want to blow me away.
