Last chance next year - Walker, Liberatore, Saggese

Who cares - Leahy, Svanson, , Granillo, etc.

Donny helps bring a load or else keep him. He's a player.

I think Herrera answered his question. Will he hit? Yes. I think the question for him now is to what degree will he hit? He missed a lot of time this year. He's already a net plus with the bat, but can be be someone who can help anchor a GOOD line up?

Liberatore answered his question. Is he a MLB starter? Yes. He's faded, but he's also taken on a bigger workload than normal. I'm bullish on him here. I couldn't say the same at this point last year. He's not an ace. But I feel comfortable about him growing into a nice #3.

Pallante...move on. Gorman...move on. Walker...needs to dominate AAA. Noot...PLEASE move on.
