What about Jordan Schaefer taking a spot. He’s a hitter/pitcher. Cards like that versatility.
Vedder80
He isn’t good enough at either for the team to expose guys they like.
thor would look better in red
if he can get out lefties its fine and defense is what they are looking for out of the 5th outfield spot. he will get the fifth outfield spot bc of his defense and the fact that he is left-handed
Lanidrac
There likely will be no fifth outfielder, at least until an infielder gets injured. The bench will probably be the backup catcher, fourth outfielder, Adams, Gyorko/Peralta, and the out of options Greg Garcia. Carpenter can always move to the outfield late in games (with Adams taking over at 1B) when necessary, anyway.

Schafer put up a .511 OPS and a -42.5 UZR/150 in his last stint in the majors in 2015. That’s not a lot better than using anybody at all in the bullpen as an occasional bench outfielder
Connor Byrne
He’s mentioned in the bullpen section.

I hope to see Alcantara in the majors this year.

is it too late to trade leave for a bag of used baseballs
jboll74
I’m guessing you mean Leake.
1 why would you trade him when the rotation isn’t as deep as it was to begin the new year
2. It was his first year with a new club
3. Expect a bounce back year from him
thor would look better in red
well said. better defense will fix that

Wacha and Rosenthal are not pre-arbitration.
Connor Byrne
You’re right. Thanks. I had some bad info in those cases, but it’s fixed.

According to baseballreference.com, neither of them are arb eligible until next year
Connor Byrne
That’s what I was looking at, but it’s incorrect for each (not to call out B-R, which is invaluable).
