Worth a shot.

Is he going to start every day at 3B? If so, I'm not a fan.

[Big Z]

Didn't cost us a prospect or player, so I'm happy.

[Miamarlin21]

Very true. Could provide some good pop, which is something needed.

[Erick]

It's only good if you're of the mindset that no one-year deal can really be bad.

Edit: Which is true. But this really doesn't add much to the team in the grand scheme of things. It's pretty much a waste of time.

Just like Furcal its worth the gamble

If he does something and we are done,we can deal him

[Erick]

I think the offseason is pretty much over for us now.

I still hold out hope that the Marlins can deal Dobbs and sign Chavez to split time at first and third, as well.

More competition in Spring Training can't hurt.

[Erick]

Mcgehee won't be competing for anything. He's the starting 3B.

It's a MLB deal, not really competition.

The only "real" competition is Ozuna/Marisnick for the last OF spot and I guess Koehler/Hand/Flynn/Vagabond for the 5th SP slot. Everything else is last 2 spots on bench (Solano, Lucas) and last three spots in pen (Jennings, Caminero, Koehler/Hand).

Pretty ho-hum unless they do something big and shoot out Cishek for a longterm guy.

Eric Chavez resigned with the D-Backs, so this is not happening, guys.

Oh...I would've thought a guy coming back from Japan would be getting a minor league deal with a Spring Training invite.

Carry on.

Not when he had a $1.5 million offer to return to Japan.
