While we’re waiting for something more than rumors and hypotheticals on the hot stove, I thought we might try looking occasionally at some of the new members of the 40-man roster. We’ll start with Eduardo Nunez. In his career, Nunez has been almost exclusively a shortstop with a handful of starts at second and third. He was once highly touted [...] Click on the headline for the rest of...

Corona [...] Click on the headline for the rest of this blog...

There is a bit of surprise here. I expected Hector Noesi to be far enough down in the minor leagues [...]

We had decisions to make about who we should protect and who...
