I have to assume that Peter Bendix is also looking outside the organization for starter help. It's a shame that Paddack didn't work out, but maybe there are some trade opportunities to be considered.
I applaud the idea of moving Agustin Ramirez to first base, and maybe bringing in a veteran like James McCann is a reasonable short-term solution, but why not give prospect Joe Mack a chance to work with Joe Singley and perhaps win the job?
