right up Eppler's alley.  

Struggled so far this year but was solid in 2015, 2016 and ok last year.  Throws in the mid to high 90's.  10.2k/9 over the last three years.  2.2 bb/9.  

probably a better option than 4 or 5 guys we've been sending out as of late.

btw, if we can grab both him and Logan, that would at least create some better depth.  Maybe we can fix them like they did Norris and Hernandez.

But...does he have options?

Does anyone think we will eventually pick up a reliever or two that actually has current value, and currently can Pitch in high leverage situations? Or any impact player at all before the trade deadline? I know the consensus is we are currently staying the course to see where we are by the trade deadline to see if such a move is even worthwhile. But I think we should act now and try and run down this second wild card. I am not saying to gut our farm or even give up a top 8-10 prospect. But something similar to the Royals Herrera trade or something like that.

I think I know nothing. And, @Lou should agree.
