Jesse Biddle is a really nice guy, its a shame how his career has turned out to this point. Hopefully after the surgery he can come back strong and salvage it.

DFAing a former first rounder for an out-of-options LOOGY is never a good idea…

Yeah, they should have seen if Bryan Bullington wanted a job before picking up LaFramboise.

Terrible to see where Biddles career has gone. I don’t think anyone will claim him and he just ends up in the minor league system. But just reading that headline isn’t what anyone would have expected a couple years ago. Maybe he figures things out and has decent cheer out of a bullpen somewhere.

Maybe the Brewers should take a chance on Biddle.

He’s not going to pitch at all this year and will be worked back slowly next year, they’re not going to burn a 40-man spot for that.

Brilliant move by the Phillies. Chances are that no one is going to want to waste a 40 man spot on a guy that will not pitch in 2016. Therefore, they should be able to outright him and add him to the 40 man after the season if they think he is going to be okay. Even if someone claims him, it was worth the risk.

Biddle sounds like the kind of player the Braves are stock piling up on. Wouldn’t be surprised if they get him.

Why? He can’t pitch it would be a waste of a 40 man spot

“As for Biddle, the former 24-year-old will sit out the 2016 campaign “. So, what is he now? A current 25- year-old? I wish I had that problem.

I remember being a former 24-year old. Sadly I now remember being a former 40-year old too.

Aren’t we all former 24-year-olds?

I was hoping the Cubs would trade a prospect to get LaFramboise.

I’m still mildly disappointed that the Bucs didn’t keep him around. He was a luxury last year, but with the departures of Bastardo and Blanton he might have had a shot at more work.
