I know a long man is valuable, but I think the better option is Edgin and Olson and cutting Batista. Better to have two lefties.

Twisted ankle……….LoL. Hope fully the day he’s scheduled to return he twists the other one.

Batista? That isn’t likely to work out for very long. But maybe he can give them something.

I also like the idea of Edgin if he keeps pitching well. Young hard throwers instead of ‘crafty” journeymen sounds like more fun to watch.

But, even if Olsen and Batista are there opening day, I fully well expect guys out of the minors (like Edgin) with power arms to replace them along the way.

pretty sure no. Just has to be on the ML roster on that date, or he has to get the bonus for going down. After that, should just follow the normal waiver rules, etc.

So how does that work with Batista? If they send him down later on in the season they still are on the hook for $100,000? They don’t have to keep him on the 25 man all season like a Rule V guy, right?
