Cliff Lee has been throwing and he's received medical clearance. If he finds the right fit, he will pitch in 2016.

"Typically, when we talk about run prevention, we talk about the pitching. But I think having a strong defensive club is a way to help your pitching," Klentak said on Thursday. "Having the plus defenders that we have in the outfield now, I think that's going to help our pitching. It may come at the cost of scoring fewer runs, but I think in the long run it's going to help us."

Good for Cliff. I'd love to see him come back and get a ring. Just don't sign with the Mets.

If Altherr starts off with the ML squad, an OF of Bourjos/Odubel/Altherr playing 81 games in CBP might yield the fewest 2B/3B in club history.
