Meh, would rather see one of the out-of-options guys get a shot.

“suggested Saunders was at least somewhat better than that ERA”
His FIP was 4.72 and his xFIP was 4.26. So yeah, he was, a little.

I would rather see Worley then him. Atleast Worley has upside.

Does he?

Number 5 pitcher who can throw a lot of innings. If he only costs a couple million then he’s probably worth a shot. Still I gotta imagine they have someone in the system who would be cheaper and just as good.

Big stadium that will play up (as much as possible) to a guy who allows a lot of bombs, just like at Seattle last year. Probably not in his best interest to consider another place, like Baltimore that could use another innings guy where his type wouldn’t fair as well more than likely over a full season. San Diego, Seattle again would be great places, but he’ll have a rotation spot by the end of spring training.

Saunders is a MUCH better emergency option than Blanton. Angels should grab him.

Was thinking this exactly, it’s a no-brainer.

I know the Twins rotation was bad last year and they seriously needed improvements. However, how many #3-5 SP can you add? They have one legit #3 in Nolasco and seven #4/5. They better hope that Meyer can become an ace or they may have trouble even with all of those position prospects.

Don’t think I’d do this unless it was an MiLB deal, but even that seems like a bad idea. I have a feeling he would not do that anyway, but definitely don’t sign him to a guaranteed contract.
