I'm not sure I'm expecting ME in 2024

I'll only be 73, so plenty of hope.

Brown has yet to allow a run in 9 appearances this winter. 14+ innings.

Cody Anderson and Dylan Baker have been removed from the DL today. And Eric Haase had his contract purchased from Clips and placed on 40 man roster.

A little surprised they added Haase, only because they've never said much about him. He sure hit well.
More surprised about Baker, but they must figure he'll be healthy again some time.

For Akron, Haase hit 258; only 38 of his 86 hits were singles, 26 homers, 17 doubles, 5 triples, so his SLG was 574. Of course he struck out a ton, 116 times compared with 44 walks.
He threw out 38% of basestealers, Mejia threw out 30%.

The amazing Dylan Baker has worked a grand total of 21 2/3 innings in the past 3 seasons. He was a 5th round pick and in the brief healthy part of his career he didnt' anything all that overwhelming. Perhaps he's a family member, the birth name might be Dolan Baker.

Haase is about to start playing winter ball in Dominican for Escogido.

Never hurts to have more catchers.

Big news on the transaction front:

Signed: 2B Todd Hankins (re-signed)

Remember when we used to collect middle INF instead of what we needed at the time? Hankins is listed as a CF. Another 2B switch? Not too promising.

he played nearly everywhere last season. Ronnie Rodriguez with less power and more speed

CLE VL Rodriguez, Jorma SS 4 0 2 3 .250 3B(1), CS (1)
CLE VL De La Cruz, Kelvin 4.2 4 5 5 3 5 5.12 L (1 – 2)

Still could be returned to the Tribe, as the O's haven't met their minimum requirements to keep a Rule 5 player on the big league roster,

Anthony Santander, DH, Orioles. Santander is trying to get at-bats to catch up after missing much of last year to rehab shoulder and forearm injuries. But his Arizona Fall League season has been a struggle. Santander hit his first AFL home run yesterday, but is hitting only .206 overall.
