Just the one move for this offseason, as we offload one ineligible for another that I feel is better use of the newly-vacated CC slot 3:
We've been safely swaddled in the cocoon of a young and talented staff that it has sort of snuck up on me how we're on the eve of having to turn a lot of them over in upcoming years. Pizarro, Kline and Brunet are gone, Friend is nearly so, Pascual is entering his next-to-last year with us on his current contract and is doubtful to be renewed. Veale is the big re-up for us this year but even he is only a medium-term proposal. So we really have to start squirrelling players away from this point on.
Hands is the first step in this program; a really nice prospect with plenty of cheap years left. We'll throw him into the spin straight off and see if he's up to the task.
We also picked up Orlando Pena on a minor league deal without an option attached. A cheap insurance policy.
