Some significant cuts today. Some, like Bud Smith, remind me of bozos who called me a moron for suggesting a few years ago that Bud’s future wouldn’t be that bright if he couldn’t stay healthy. I wonder where that bozo is today?
Others aren’t exactly surprising, but merit comment:
Deivi Cruz has dug his own grave. He has a great swing but no concept of the strike zone, which it seems will do him in. If he finds a job somewhere he should make the $3 bid price I gave him in the magazine look good. But I’ve embarrassed myself with him before.
Fernando Tatis had a great year a long time ago. We shouldn’t forget that. Certainly the Expos won’t.
Todd Jones and Mike Williams are veteran arms, the sort that should have had a chance in a sinkhole like Tampa. But wherever they land they will have no apparent fantasy value.
Fred McGriff needs nine homers to reach 500. All reports all winter were there was no spot for him on the TB roster, but they were giving him some exposure as a courtesy. I put him at $5 in the magazine, which was a mistake, but I still think he’s worth an endgame shot. If you have the dough go $2. He’s a pro.
