General Discussion – Week of March 18. Brad Projects a Roster

Yeah, I’ll give it a go. Good a place as any to discuss it:

Starters – Cole, Roy, Cliff, KK and Lannan (Cloyd #6 in AAA, at least until June or so when Pettibone could overtake him – Cook and Lopez start in AAA with Cook #7 for now – both are emergency/expendible guys if they need one start before Pettibone is ready).

Relievers – Pap, Adams, Bastardo, Valdes, Durbin, Aumont, Stutes (Horst to AAA, tough luck for him)

Catchers – Kratz, Quintero, (Ruiz is suspended, and Valle is the emergency guy IMO for the first 25 days – not going to start the clock on Joseph, and they don’t have a roster spot to burn once they add Quintero, unless they waive someone like Robles or Savery)

Infield – RyHo, Chase, JRoll, MYoung, Frandsen, Yuni (if they can’t move him and find him a 40-man roster spot, [Robles/Savery again], Galvis if they can move him)

Outfielders – Dom, Revere, Mayberry, Nix, Inciarte (Jermaine Mitchell just isn’t quite enough and Pete Orr is Pete Orr)

DL – Delmon

What say all of you?

New Workout Groups March 18

Again from @BaseballBetsy

Notes:

– Released guys are gone and the teams are starting to look clearer with not much more coming down from the major league club

– Tocci, Quinn, and Walding are still in what looks like the Clearwater group, doesn’t seem to be an obvious SS ahead of him (Tocci looks more like he is destined for Lakewood)

– Garner in Group 3 is not a positive sign
