The surprise to me is Wes Parsons. The team is interested in guys who can throw a few innings at a go in relief, but Parsons? has 8 walks and 3 hit batters in 10.2 spring innings. But then Parsons can be DFAed when someone comes off the IL.

Beyond that, I’d have liked Nathan Lukes to get a shot. I think he’d have a slot on the roster if he was a RHB.

Zulueta DFAed leaves him open to being picked up off waivers, but I think it is likely he clears. He has two option years left, so if a team likes him, they have time to see if they can get him to throw strikes.
