5.04 - Allen Craig, 1b/OF, Red Sox
Covers me at 1B and also offers OF availability should a truly terrible first baseman become available whenever we make transactions. He's also rumored to be given a shot to play some poor 3B this season. There's some scary bounce back potential here, so hopefully all the position changing and the inherent evil of the Red Sox will keep him hitting at an OPS of .594 like he put up in 2014, the third lowest number in the majors among those who qualified for the batting title. Seriously, if he can play that poorly and give me first base eligibility? SOD. Worth the gamble.

if he gets 450 ABS he could be the worst regular catcher by far. his 2014 was hideous. great glove and thrower means lots of playing time. no eye, little power, bad offensive team and he is the 8 hitter. over under on combined hrs and bbs is 15.

Hopefully both of these guys are available.
5.12 - Marlon Byrd, OF
6.01 - Mark Teixeira, 1B
Byrd was second in the majors with 185 Ks last year and is now 37. Guy also never walks. Teixeira is only 34, but plays like he's 44. His .216 average was 5th worst among qualified batters last year.
Both will probably have their days where they actually do well and piss me off, but I'm hoping the ####ty days far outweigh the good days. First base is going to be tough from here on out it looks like.

Cincinnati Enquirer says he'll hit 6th! Gotta love a 5% BB and 29% K rate. He's just a year removed from hitting .291, but so so old.When updating the Googlesheet, I had to look up where Byrd is playing these days.
How did he end up in Cincinnati? Maybe more importantly, why did the Reds acquire him?

December 31, 2014: Traded by the Philadelphia Phillies with cash to the Cincinnati Reds for Ben Lively (minors).

aaron harang, p, 6.07
phils are bad and the move to that park should hurt him. i need the Ks to diminish with further age and i need his durability to trot out there every 5th day and stink to a 1.45 whip.

My favorite is he spends some time on a write-up, but doesn't spend any time seeing if the player is taken.
