How the fuck did I miss this!?!?!?!?

This is fine but Cole Hamels a Barve makes me question the moral center of the universe.

Some notes from the presser:

*Klentak gave a word salad answer when asked whether there's an organizational mandate to not go over the tax.
*Girardi mentioned Arrieta as a given for the rotation behind Nola and Wheeler and then said that Eflin, Pivetta, and VV are in contention for the other two spots. Also said he feels like they have depth behind that.
*Klentak said that he's not ruling out getting another starter this offseason.
*Girardi says it's possible that Didi hits somewhere in the 3-4-5 range in the lineup.

Hoskins is going to have to earn cleanup IMO.

vs what? 5th? Batting order matters very little, and Hoskins is a better hitter than Realmuto, anyway... even last year. <ducks>

Hoskins had a higher OPS+ because of his ability to draw a walk. If he's going to be a .230 hitter again his OBP skill is better used higher in the order.
