NOTABLE REHAB ASSIGNMENTS

- SP Noah Syndergaard, NYM (9/2)
- SP Nathan Eovaldi, TB (9/10)
- SP Jacob Faria, TB (9/10)
*Rehab start date listed in parentheses.
Kazmir UGH . I just pray he goes away. Or at least stays in the Minors until his contract with LA is up
I think he holds the all time record for the number of times he’s faded into oblivion.
I actually thought about possible arguments- maybe AJ Burnett- but not too many guys fell off the face of the Earth, come back and then fall off again. Its at least a valid argument.
I feel so bad for Morse, I at least hope he gets a deal somewhere.
Crazy gyorko doesn’t have a spot to play right now. 3 WAR guy sitting on the bench but the cards have a ton of infielders
Starting Tseng and Davis while you’re trying to win a Division was a head scratcher from Joe.
I mean, when you have a guy who needs to be put on the 40 man anyway this offseason, posting a 1.80 ERA in the PCL, there’s no reason not to give him a shot.
Unfortunately with Kazmir, the deal was doomed before it signed. $8,000,000 a year for six years (due to deferrals) was a massive overpay for Kazmir no matter how you look at it. I remember that season most of the projections were 3/36.
On top of that- the way he faded in Houston at the end of 2015 should have raised some red flags.
