Tanaka is 15 away as well. Kinda wish I still had him, but Jenkins is proving a good replacement so far, and only 22 years old.

Unless he spends another decade in Rio Grande, we'll always know of him as a Highlander. He's the first guy to go to FA and actually maintain his talent with no noticeable dropoff and it was good to see him go to a team that really could 1) use him and 2) wasn't one of the usual suspects.
Outfield talent in this league isn't hard to get your hands on, so...Spindola might be toast or he might hang around for a few more years. Either way, he was the Ken Griffey of this league, young guy who burst onto the scene and was clearly the best player in the league during first few seasons. He won't be forgotten either way.
