Jose then busted out in MLB, and went on to have over 4000 PA as a Wing, most of them in the heart of the order, and played on four championship teams. He hit 206 HR, drove in 597, scoring 633. We bid him a fond farewell.

Among guys I have cut over the years who are probably worth something in 2017- Eric Thames, Aaron Hicks, Logan Morrison, etc Hartford will be rebuilding next season so "older" keepers such as Alex Colome, Troy Tulowitzski and Jayson Werth (still crushes LHP) are available for trade.
