Of the picks under JackZ that have stalled, Marlette and Peterson are next to go, I'll bet. I wouldn't be surprised to find Tyler Marlette is the PTBNL for the Braves - they've been looking at almost-ready catchers, but don't want to use a 40-man spot if they can help it. If Marlette gets past the R5 draft, poof! he's a non-40 Brave! If somebody picks him, then Baron or Littlewood goes - at least, that's my take.
For D.J., I wonder if the Padres or Phillies would have any interest. From the Padres, I hope the Ms could get Brad Hand for the power LH BP arm they need, though it might need DJ+somebody like Braden Bishop? Or Sharky Unsworth? Anyway, if the Phillies are interested in Seth Smith for leadership and a LH bat and maybe DJ, too, I'd like to see the Ms get a couple of their almost-ready-but-not-top10 arms. Ben Lively, Nick Pivetta, or Elniery Garcia would be additional depth for starting or swing work.
The Pirates DFA'd Jeff Locke today, and Derek Holland is apparently openly trying to sign up with Pittsburgh, hoping to work with Ray Searage. Chances are Wade LeBlanc will be non-tendered to make room. I hope the Ms can sweet-talk him into a NRI deal for experienced depth. If they can't sign somebody like Fister or Anderson, and are out on Hill, Nova, and Hammel, LeBlanc might be as good as they're going to find if the existing 5 falter. Maybe Cano has an in to talk Nova into coming to Seattle, or maybe Hammel will like the idea of taking a second longtime losing franchise to a Championship, especially his hometown team. Otherwise, I don't see the trade chips to get better than a Doug Fister (#3-4) level starter anyplace.
