Winter meetings, implications of Othani

[nando714]

Pujols has played 24 or 34 games at 1B the last 2 seasons 

there is NO way he’s going to play more than 60-80 games on the field in 2018

i just don’t see it 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Fletcher says the plan is for him to play 50 games at 1B.

I don't see where more 1B for Pujols at this stage of his career is a bad thing. It increases the chances that he gets injured and that seems to be the only way to keep Sosh from penciling him into the lineup every day.

If he can't play first more than a few times per week, perhaps he simply isn't healthy enough to keep playing.

[arch stanton]

Yeah. No one has ever made a living as a primary DH in this game

I think you're onto something here. I get Sosh is loyal to the vets, but just constantly grounding into DP after DP is just ridiculous.

Clearly... it's time to bring back Jeff Mathis.  Drop the mic and call off the rest of the off season.

I also forgot the possibility of Logan Morrison, which i was reminded of on twitter this morning.  

As of right now this leaves us connected with the following that im aware of:
Yu Darvish
CC Sabathia
Logan Morrison
Cesar Hernandez
Mike Moustakis
Evan Longoria (possibly)

I am a little worried at the lack of RP on the list, but perhaps those are trade bait candidates if any of the other happens or they might move some current SP to that role of other deals happen.  
also kind of odd that the only 2B ive heard about as anything more than pure speculation is Hernandez, no talk of other FA.  ive probably missed that it would seems
