The fact both of them are out of options appears to be working in their favor. Kuo is having a good spring, with a 2.35 ERA in five appearances (7 2/3 innings). Delwyn is hitting just .146, but he has cut WAY down on his strikeouts since early in camp.
This is Torre:
“I think (being out of options) has to be (a factor). To me, you have to think in terms of that. It’s a matter of `Who do you take instead of … ?’ and it has to make sense. If it’s an equal playing field, why lose somebody of value? I believe those two guys have value. They’re both young, and Kuo is left-handed.”
