Sad to send Potter and Davis down but don't want to burn a season with the arms I have and feeling confident about.

They made my Spring Training bullpen great. So impressed with the team's performance in exhibition at 23-5. So I expect a slide back but it's out of necessity as well to keep the arms I do have on my roster. Potter and Davis will see BLB action at some point around mid-June, as I've always done for my rookies. Unless everyone is performing exceptionally.

Guys were hitting. I expect Cash to be nothing more than a defensive upgrade. Anything close or above a .750 OPS will be bonus.

I believe this team is deep. I believe it's the deepest team I've put together. We have pitching, hitting, depth and a lot more defense than we did a year ago at this time.

Now, I just need everyone to do what they are rated to do.

Awesome, no major injuries to speak of and everyone got their work in over ST. A few decisions to make on last roster spots, but we're in good shape to head into Opening Day. Preseason prediction currently has us at 92 wins and I think that's fair. That puts us in the playoff picture conversation in most seasons.

Looks like all the minor leagues start as well...don't forget to get those rosters to 25 and game ready.

Also you will have a SIM or two to get everyone over the age of 24 off your A team or they get DFA'd.

Hooray! This is great news.

There are 300+ minor league free-agents that fit under the requirement.

And trust me, I know minor league free-agents.

[Sharkn20]

But they are rubbish :( useless

I will flood your e-mail again... I wasn't aware of that rule guys sorry
