Unless he acts like a mega dbag again.
But I agree there's some talent there. I was at the game when he popped a GS or a 3-run HR against us. He has very quick hands.

@ChrisCotillo: Johan Santana is moving closer to signing a minor league deal somewhere, as @nickcafardo reported.
Drafted by fish, coming off injuries, gives us possible veteran presence in rotation, balances our rotation (LHP). I'll take him on an incentive laden contract (1 yr)

They signed Slowey to a MILB deal. I imagine he's the 6th SP/bullpen long man failsafe.
Kind of feel Hand will be given first shot at SP5 to get a lefty in rotation (and believe he's out of options. He did have pretty ok production PCL/MLB last year) and put Koehler among the bullpen RHP with Cishek, Ramos, Capps, and Caminero.

I hope he makes the team, just because the puns on Twitter and here.

Considering he is out of options, I think there is a good probability he makes club. If he gets shelled for a few starts (Hayden Penn?), maybe they could sneak him through waivers and then just next man up it with Flynn, Slowey or Koehler. If he can actually hold his own, just another guy they can trade for infielders as he'll likely be pushed out with Heaney/Nicolino/Flynn/Conley coming. Jesus, they have an all lefty prospect rotation just sitting in the high minors including Hand.
Should be a fun year pitching at least even if they don't score 600 runs.

Feeling pretty good about Turner besting the 4th and Hand/Flynn/Heaney besting the 5th. You'd hope there is not to much regression from Fernandez, Alvarez, and Eovaldi.
