    I’d Take a Shot on Shane Greene

    Elected free agency today after being sent to AAA by LAD.

    He’s a lefty, 33, and probably has 1-2 good years left in the tank.

    We have no lefties, a pretty shoddy bullpen overall, and little to lose if he goes out and barfs up a bunch of runs.

    Ideally, he’d perform pretty well and possibly fetch a prospect at the deadline, or we could keep him if any success he achieves appears sustainable.

    This! They should be looking at anyone who has had recent major league success who has been cut loose. Most never pan out but every now and then you find a keeper. This team could always use good relievers.

    I think Greene is a righthander.

    For some crazy reason I’ve always had it in my head that Greene was a lefty. No idea why.

    Anyway, rest of the point still stands. 33 is far from old.

    Gives up too many dingers and walks too many guys for GAB, that's tempting fate. I prefer they give innings to younger arms on the RH side

    Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2

    Depends on how thirsty you are and how accommodating Greene is.
