If you are really desperate then I suggest signing one of the 18 year old 12 potential pitching prospects sitting in free agency. I had to sign four of them in the last week just to fill my minor league ranks. Updated Friday, April 29 2016 @ 1:29:30 pm PDT

He's not a good pitching prospect, but I don't have many of them. He *could* be a 95-SI pitcher which may work out since his arm, fielding and range aren't great, but I'm not sure he has enough time to gain 60 SI. I'm keeping him for now.

And the last one is 17, but, really?! An outfielder with a 6 Arm? And at only an "above average fielder", not a good candidate for 2B. Oh, and did I mention he'll "never be decent hitter"? Oh well, on to next week. Updated Friday, April 29 2016 @ 8:39:34 pm PDT
