We should keep Jesus and Angel.

We could always use some divine help!

Also Sal Fasano. Love the moustache and the fact he’s had a bunt single.

Josh Barfield

He’d be a good option. A low-risk, some-reward type.

I sign Fabio Castro and Dallas for sure ASAP!

Also Barfield, Sanchez and Phillips.

MacPherson would be the only ‘must sign’ I’d have in that group. Not that he’s got a high ceiling, but having Ed Spargue v.2 at AAA is good insurance. Castro, Phillips and Coats all make for nice depth, if somewhat limited use. Basically using Las Vegas as an extended bench as opposed to being guys I think are going to develop into future starters. Barfield isn’t a bad idea; he’s got some upside, and I believe that if you’re looking at a low risk possibility, you might as well go with one that has some ties to the franchise.
