correct me if im wrong but isn’t Josh Vitters out of options for the Cubs as well?
martinfv2
Don’t think so.
Bertin Lefkovic
Eduardo Nunez for Juan Francisco?
Mil8Ball
If Fransisco were to not make the team its an interesting deal. Nunez would provide a slight improvement over Bianchi…but I expect Fransisco to make the team with Reynolds.
Daniel Morairity
Why cant overbay make the team
Mil8Ball
Because he is on a minor league deal. If Fransisco does well in the spring might as well give him the spot and make further decision if/when Overbays opt out is.
If his opt out is right after spring training is done then its a tough choice.
Daniel Morairity
ok lets say that overbay doesnt make the roster cant the rangers sign him
Mil8Ball
Well according to a nice new article on MLBTR it looks like they can pay 100k to retain him in the minors…giving them continued control till a June 1st opt out.
Tigers72
Lennerton for Andy Oliver as a Lefty option for the Tigers and a high risk Mid to High reward SP prospect or good relief prospect. Also it’s amazing after all of last years injuries the Cards have no one with no more options.

A lot of Pittsburgh media types seem to think that Stolmy Pimentel is a better bet to head north with the Bucs than Andy Oliver: they really want to see what they have in Stolmy. If either or neither make the team, the Bucs will likely have to work out something to avoid losing either (or both?) through waivers. If I had a guess, the Bucs will be calling around seeking to deal Bryan Morris as part of a deal for a lefty 1B (Carp?)
Shane Flannagan 2
Right now I would bet that McDonald and Rusin both don’t win the 5th starter spot. I think with Arrieta out, its Kyle Hendricks to lose

Hendricks to lose? Far from it. Hendricks may be better than all the 5th starter options and eventually better than the Cubs current #3, Jackson and #4, Hammel. But he’s 24 and because McDonald is out of options my guess he’ll get the first crack. I imagine we’ll see McDonald, Rusin, Arrieta, Villanueva, and probably Hendricks by season’s end in at #5. I’d kinda like to see Justin Grimm get a chance too…and Jokisch has looked good as well. Basically, it doesn’t really matter who they throw out their first because you’d have to figure lots of guys will get to audition this year.

When will we see a complete list of players out of options, like we did last year?
Aron
today
Joe Orsatti
Brent Morel? I’m not sure, I’m just wondering
Steve Rosenquist
Brewer would be crazy the keep Overbay over Fransisco. Reynolds is gone.
John Lembcke
Pete Kozma of the Cards is out of options I believe.
