Last spot on the roster has basically come down to this. Bullpen is Putz, Lowe, Green, Dickey, EOF, and RRS. Bench is Willie, Cairo (boo!), Burke, and Morse. Are you a 7 man bullpen or a 5 man bench kinda guy? Vote now.

Baek is the definition
of Replacement level... Norton at least brings some offense to a bench devoid of it....

This isn't fair...
It's like having to choose a favorite child when both of them are hunchbacked retards...

gotta hold on to baek at least
until we get through spring w/o starter injuries. Baek is above replacement level, I think,
Norton=totally replaceable

On the one hand, Baek is better
On the other hand, I want us to go with a 5 man bench. Bah.
Voted for Baek anyway.

Pony please
This feels like as meaningless a choice as any 25th spot usually is. Neither player will be with us come July.

Baek
He is out of options, more useful as a pitcher than Norton is as a hitter, and McLaren's not one to use his bench much anyway.

But
I voted for the Flesh Eating Pony, whose cannibalist approach to life has to be worth more runs than the other two combined.

Flesh eating ponies don't eat other ponies
They only eat the people responsible for this bullshit.

I'd be worried that during a visit to the front office
The pony would be confused by so many potential meals that he would be disoriented and slain by his foes.

If Jose Vidro is in the room
there shouldn't be any confusion.

If we had a team
that actually used the bench I'd say Norton. But we don't. So Baek

Both or maybe Jimerson
Since Willie missed most of ST and isn't sharp (even for him) he should go on the DL for 15 or 20 to get some rehap work.
After 3 times thru the rotation the coaches will have a better idea of the bullpen needs.
Maybe Cairo will prove his worth (or lack of) and could be more easily justified or removed.
As a minor side benefit, other clubs may be willing to offer something for Baek/Morse/Jimerson if they are with the club instead of hanging out at the employment center.

Or just cut them all and trade a minor leaguer that the front office is tired of seeing on the 40 man for someone elses 25/26th man.

New orders for my diary
So Dickey didn't make the team, but at least they managed to keep him. Still, Jimerson and Baek isn't what I had in mind. I guess McLaren really likes speed and Korea.
Therefore, anyone who votes on this poll from this point on must vote for "Flesh eating pony".
