It'll be interesting to see if Collin Cowgill will be tendered a contract. He's a solid defender and can run a little. But then again, with guys like Ortega playing for the league minimum and Chad Hinshaw being close to ready and offering more upside, any raise to Cowgill could end up being money wasted.

It's kinda sad to me that people are excited about a guy that might get non tendered... is this what we are reduced to?

It's called depth.

It's sadder that people think the only way to improve a team is to spend money or make bad trades.    

 

David Ortiz was non tendered by the Twins...  Edwin Encarnacion was non tendered by the A's.   Russell Martin was non tendered by the Dodgers...

 

But hey, I guess none of them would have been good enough to play for the Angels.

Wasn't it Johan Santana that was selected in the Rule 5 Draft?

Anyway we can acquire young talent. Even if it's just depth.

It's sad that many of us knew this would happened when we signed Pujols and Hamilton and we were ridiculed with the mettanarrative of "it's not you're money"  

 

This is what happens when a team poorly spends a few hundred million dollars. We don't get amazing 4th outfielders.

I took no part in that "narrative" but before you get too far along on a new one .... I think it's worth pointing out the problem isn't that they have run out of money....  It's more a case of them having run out of players coming up from below.

Yep, however I think Grit was somewhat joking.

I'd like to remind you we also lost draft picks in signing Pujols, Hamailton, Wilson, and company. 

 

That and our organization's strange philosophy in not offering FA arbitration. 

 

Massively spending poorly and letting players walk without any offers has cost this team so many picks and put us in a corner.

Rosenthal just reported on Twitter that Hank Conger, a potential non-tender, was rumored in a possible trade today. That trade is looking better and better by the day.

Lorenzo Cain would be a nice pickup for left, No?

[bloodbrother]

Yusmiero Petit non-tendered by Giants. He's been pretty solid both as a starter and as a reliever the past few years. Wouldn't mind adding him
