[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1384835, member: 26283"] Surprised, but pleased with the Caratini choice. I think he's going to be a pretty good player, but I thought they were angling to trade him and that crushing every day in AAA would have made him a more valuable trade asset. He's a switch hitter who will give them a bit more pop off the bench when he's not catching. Don't know who the 8th guy out of the pen is going to be since Grimm was released... 1. Morrow 2. Edwards 3. Cisheck 4. Wilson 5. Strop 6. Montgomery 7. Duensing 8. ... Butler? I think he's out of options, but he hasn't pitched out of the pen much in his career. He's been decent (in results, if not peripherals) when healthy at both Iowa and Chicago since coming to the Cubs and probably wouldn't slip through waivers. Kyle Ryan and Anthony Bass are depth relievers that had nice springs. Ryan had a pretty good 2016 with the Tigers. [/QUOTE]
