Little surprised with Decker and Rubenstein, but nothing earth shattering here.

Decker is a bit surprising and I thought Anderson would at least be given another year before they moved on with him. No real losses among the rest. Noris has great power, can field, run and throw at least average but his approach at the plate hasn’t worked the last two years and he never showed a glimpse of changing it in all the games I saw. Getting back to Decker, I wouldn’t consider him a prospect by any means but he had good results in his first full season and as I heard from a few of the players, his changeup is a nasty pitch, high profile players raved about it. He was also throwing low 90′s the last time I saw him late last season.
