Aren't you already up after the next pick?

Walker on a one year deal is a great fit for them. Talk about patience getting rewarded.

I took Shelby Miller. I don't know who is up now.

This is probably poor timing but with Candelario an apparent lock at 3B for the Tigers, I'd be interested in flipping Longoria for a 1B of similar ilk.

PM'd Orgfiller

I took Chris Stratton.

Been a tough road. Glad he was able to put in a decent amount of bullpen work these last few years because it easily could have ended a lot sooner. He's about to turn 36, a pretty normal age to hang it up.

Interestingly his strikeout rates have remained consistent (and quite high) even when his overall performance hasn't. This fits the front office m.o. to a T. Always bet on K.

That was my next choice. Karns probably had a better chance of coming back to me but I like him a lot and I'm willing to punt catcher for some god damn pitching.

ISO Horny up

I want Nate Karns.

I think someone mentioned this before but what is the criteria for waiver wire priority in this league? It seems off.

I totally missed how well Iannetta hit last year. This looks like a good pick.

I took Gregerson.

Confirmed

Could invest that into depth in other places (assuming that it isn't already spent on Oh in the first place).

My only cut that might be of intetest is Ketel Marte. Consider the trade pre-accepted if you offer me a pick.

Atkins cast some shade on that story: “We test vision with all our players and we’re doing everything to stay at the forefront of that research.” http://torontosun.com/sports/baseball/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-blindsided-by-bautistas-supposed-vision-issues Seems like thisthe kind of thing that Baustista and his agent would feed to Peter Gammons to create a false explanation for his 2017 struggles.

Pretty solid signing for the Brewers. He's 35 but the commitment is so small that it hardly matters. Would have been more than fine with that for the Jays but I can see why the Brewers looked like an attractive destination for Albers after the big moves.

[h=1]Reports: Matt Albers agrees to 2-year, $5 million deal with Brewers[/h]http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/22255478/matt-albers-agrees-2-year-5-million-deal-milwaukee-brewers The Milwaukee Brewers have reached an agreement with right-handed reliever Matt Albers on a two-year, $5 million contract, according to multiple reports. The agreement was first reported Monday by The Athletic. Sportsnet was first to report the value of Albers' deal. Albers is the latest newcomer to join the Brewers, who acquired outfielders Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain last week and also added veteran free-agent pitchers Jhoulys Chacin and Yovani Gallardoearlier this offseason. A former 23rd-round pick of the Houston Astros in 2001, Albers has played for seven teams during his 12-year career. He went 7-2 with a 1.62 ERA in 63 games with the Washington Nationals last season, finishing with the third-best ERA in the National League. Following a 2016 season in which he went 2-6 with a 6.31 ERA for the Chicago White Sox, Albers signed a minor league deal with the Nationals in January 2017. He failed to make the major league roster out of spring training but was called up a week into the season and quickly became the most dependable reliever in a bullpen that was one of the worst in baseball through the All-Star break. Albers recorded his first career save on May 5. Until then, he had gone 460 straight appearances without one, more than any other pitcher since saves became an official statistic in 1969. He also finished the year ranked second among NL relievers in WHIP (0.85) and second in batting average against (.165). Prior to the NL Division Series, Albers had never pitched in the playoffs. In two appearances against the Chicago Cubs, he tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings. In 515 career games, the 35-year old is 36-39 with a 4.13 ERA.

Jeff Hostetler.

This is one case where it's pretty comforting to know that he's full of s***. I think this board would riot if Bo where sacrificed in order to lose a financial commitment (that's not even that big).

Oh could be? I remember the Winfield thing when they took it away from the players but that was a while ago. If the players wanted it back, it would have been crazy for the owners to hold up CBA negotiations over it.
