I think you may be thinking of Erik Komatsu, who was traded for Jerry Hairston, Jr.  Erick Almonte was a guy who won the last roster spot on one of Ken Macha’s teams (over Luis Cruz, if I remember correctly), and I think he got hit by a ball in batting practice, and I don’t think he ever came back after that.

I can’t remember the names of people I meet , but I can remember this stuff.

You are absolutely right. Was definitely thinking of Komatsu. Nice find, too, because  Komatsu is a pretty old obscure one.

No idea how long Woody will be out for, but it is hard not be excited about our starting rotation regardless:

Miz

Harrison

Patrick

Henderson (assuming he'll be called up for Woodruff)

Sproat/Gasser

Also, Fitzpatrick and Drohan look to be good additions to the bullpen.

Plus Priester, if he can find the zone in his rehab.  Crow's spot start was great.  And take away the one bad start and Kuehner has been awesome and is tracking to find his way onto the roster.  Going to have to carve out bullpen roles for a couple of these guys.

The qualifying offer debacle probably cost this team a real chance at a playoff spot. Just insane use of limited resources. 

The organization saw what happened when they did not value the presence of Corbin Burnes. To what degree did it play in retaining Woodruff? Who can say, but I would not be surprised if it was factored in.
