MLB depth issue, one of the biggest holes on paper

Bring back Omar Gaither, cut Travis Goethel! This is a very low cost move that will bring us a huge upgrade at MLB depth. I'm sure Gaither can exceed at what Goethel is supposed to do which is staying healthy, playing special teams and being a decent option to go to in the event of an injury to Nick Roach.

Goethel has been playing poorly and getting injured since his arrival in 2010. I don't want to be screwed when Goethel has to step in, he has done nothing to impress me personally and the nightmare of long snapping did not help with that (I know that's not his job but SMFH). So get rid of the weakest link and bring in someone who stepped in admirably and helped improve our defense. He's far from a star but he's much much much better than Goethel, that is for sure!

I'm sure he's a great guy but he does not belong on our roster from what I see. So don't say "well hes a great guy with a great attitude he'll keep getting better" because then he's on the same boat as DHB; not on the Oakland Raiders! We need the best players, with the best attitudes and work ethics!

The only other decent sized MLB by trade is UDFA Billy Boyko and as you know we can't expect an UDFA to come in and win a job since the vast majority don't. Other than that there is some really off people saying Kaluka Maiva is an option at Mike but he's pretty small to be funneling RB's to. Let me know your thoughts, I'm wondering if there is any argument to keeping him around now that you know why I don't want to.
