if a team would gamble on taking Pedro Baez and attempt to make him into a pitcher. Using a roster space would be hard but getting MLB instruction on a daily basis could help him convert to the mound quickly. His arm has always been great. Use him as a reliever occasionally just to see what happens.

I really like Galvez and Cumberland. My stat system likes Marwin Gonzalez and Bradley Meyers.
