I don't think Bauers is a back-up, I think he is even lower than that. If we go into the season with this chump starting at DH, 1B or OF, it's a travesty. If we go into the season with this chump as bench fodder, it is also a travesty.
This guy should be nowhere near our opening day roster, but it sure looks like he will be there or DFA'd. If he is cut, we just wasted the two young guys for nothing. If he is on the roster, he is blocking someone else, and that makes no sense either. Someone said earlier that we should have just kept Hiura, and I agree with that completely. Pay Hiura 2 milion or Bauers? We already know what Bauers brings, which ain't much, but since Hiura was in the doghouse last season, we have no idea what he could have brought us.
Meh.
