2015 Random Ramblings

[General]

Well, Correia's trash, always has been for me. Span is a stud, but he got me Perez...Vanslyke I liked, and Will Smith is my fav. player ever.

[Slyder]

2B Jesus Medrano $2 Mil- Started almost 130 games at SS. Had a .990+ fld pct almost the whole season, probably a candidate for GG. Only hit .245 but did give me some speed at the back of the lineup.

3B Christopher Daly $1.5 Mil- .273 ba, .362 OBP exactly what I wanted out of a depth infielder that will be coming off the bench in the playoffs.

1B Michael Johnson $1 Mil- Only played in 39 games but was huge while Kotter was out. Hitting .360 in Kotter's absence and didnt pipe up when I put him back on the bench .

RF Matthew Rehkop $1.5 mil- Provided a good bat off the bench hitting over 300 and regaining teh form he had when I first took over Minnesota. Resigned for $665k will be good for depth. Hopefully he wont be asked to play 3b long.

MLCs
LF Nic Johnson- Accidently called up, immediately died and was released.
MR Jung Bong- Never saw above AAA. Released
MR Zach Duke- Likewise
LF Marcus Nettles- Kept on for depth purposes. Still has a great eye probably going to be released after the playoffs since Beltran and others are almost ready.

My only trade this year:
Trade with Baltimore :
We get :
P David Vera
Baltimore gets :
P Melvin Moses

Vera has been money since coming over hopefully my acquisitions for the pen last year WILL WAKE UP and give me some help. Moses looks like he will probably get close to that 6,9,8 talent as hes already at 5,7,7.
