It worked out real well having Karstens in the pen last year to step up when Ohlendorf went down.  I think Correia could fill the same role this year, and there is certainly no guarantee that Karstens can put up the same kind of numbers this year as he did last year.

Burnett would give them some stability, and buy them the two years needed until Cole and Tallion show up. 

My early season prediction is Morton and JMAC both takes two steps forward.. Combine that with two veterans in Bedard and Burnett and toss is the wild card Karstens and the rotation has a chance to be really really good. 

Trade Corria before camp opens, even if you have to eat some of his paycheck. 

That leaves Lincoln, Locke, Owens, McPherson, Wilson as options to go to if someone has a DL stint. 

LETS GET THIS DONE!

And if he cant play this year because he Ks half the time its a 3 year deal. Thats not even taking into account the culture shock a lot of Cubans have. Even the Marlins had same $ but 6 years I think thats fair. Starting to think people are way overpaying for these cuban guys chapman is never going to be worth his $ and Soler has issues as well. But his $ is gonna skyrocket

He didn’t do much but eat up innings, while allowing the pitching staff to get on track. They started to learn how to win as a team. 
Spring must be close — eternal optimism has arrived.
