• News is starting to pick up and we’re a little behind schedule to finish the Offseason Review Series before Thursday, so I’ll have to keep this one around an hour
• Let’s get it going

Save harry the K’s

• Justin Crawford hasn’t exactly hit the cover off the ball this spring. What are the chances we see more Marsh in CF and Kemp/someone else in left if that continues?

Anthony Franco

• I assume Crawford’s got at least two months as an everyday player before the Phillies go there. Marsh is a little stretched in center, they don’t have any great alternatives in left, and Crawford doesn’t get much out of going back to Triple-A
• Can argue they should’ve been more aggressive in shoring up the outfield depth but they weren’t, and it some point, they do need to give Crawford to work through things at the MLB level

• Preller has to trade for a starter right?  Or is content riding the elite bullpen til Musgrove and Canning are ready?
