Agree. If he had just decided to bring his kid around all the time, then I'd be with management. But don't use family to woo the guy into signing and then tell him no.

He aint no Mo Vaughn
I think he's just sucking it in there. Or else a really strong belly band.
Or he's having a slumber party.
Round is a shape...
On the plus side, Farrell seems to know he's managing for his job right now, and Dombrowski is new and not beholden to anyone that was brought in before him, so it seems to be leading towards a competition at 3B between him and Shaw right now. Shaw, who is tearing up spring training, for what little spring training numbers are worth.
Downside being Pablo is fairly useless as a bench player (not going to pinch run, not coming in for defense, only plays one position), so doesn't leave a great option there. And he seems like the sort that would turtle if not gently hugged and supported, so hoping this lights a fire under him instead of leading to him being replaced. He's gonna be fat regardless, though, no fixing that...

Joe Garagiola has passed away.
Oriole acquire Edgar Olmos from the Cubs for a PTBN. The Orioles had him once already and the Cubs had him twice...since December. I'm surprised the Orioles just didn't wait the Cubs out, again.
- December 4, 2015: Selected off waivers by the Cubs from the Mariners

- March 24, 2016: Orioles acquire Olmos in a trade with the Cubs
The Diamondbacks are trying to get out of their lease at Chase Field.

Milwaukee Brewers LHP Will Smith tears his LCL taking off his shoe.
A hell of a conditioning program they have in Milwaukee.

We'll see. Maybe Shaw gets hot, maybe it embarrasses Pablo into putting some effort in. Not exactly a ton of trade value, but not sure they pay him to sit on the bench long term either. If he's being benched for bad defense and mediocre bat, not like he's a value on the bench either. Rumor with the Padres, but who knows. Suppose it'll shake itself out.
