The New  Bill James Baseball Abstract from the early 2000s had a two sentence summary of Cecil Fielder: A big fat guy who hit a bunch of home runs for a couple seasons.

Take out the word “fat” and the same summary could apply to Gallo.

Gallo says he will attempt a comeback as a pitcher.

Customary would take him on a minor league deal guy

Drew Pomeranz was released by the Mariners. Amazing to think that he’s only pitched 45 big league innings since he left the Brewers. Still chasing one more shot at the majors at 36 and with career earnings of more than 50 million dollars.

Add about $15-20mm to the total and I think that is what it would take to extend Contreras.  Though it maybe a bit more not 100% sure on this.

William will require higher AAV than his brother Wilson. 🙂

Cam Smith makes the Astros. He had very few games in the minors.

Is Strzelecki the worst 3.44 career ERA reliever with 83+ IP ever? I forget if it was injuries or how he fell out of favor.

I’m satisfied with the .800 OPS Eduardo Escobar provided over 200 PA in exchange for Hummel.
