Do we have to set the ST roster now or after tomorrow's SIM?

Pawtucket landed a nice lefty bullpen guy in Ted Gifford. Yeah he's looked like crap past few seasons, but we got a nice history of turning these players into useful bullpen guys. Probably be tempted to spot start him in certain matchups.


The pitching staff doesn't need a whole lot of tweaking. We just need McDade to make the next step to take his place with Talley, Reeve's to form our new "tri Aces"

Now onto the offense where we may rock the boat a bit.

Next sim. But scouting and PD budgets are THIS SIM!

McPherson says he won't discuss a new contract and intends to test free agency.

Fuck me.

Maybe if we win a lot.

It will change.

Yes. When you start winning he'll come around. He was asking for a 6 year, ~21MM before he got sent packing.

His room service bills on the road are huge, I hear.

Finally got a chance to get a good look at my team with all our recent moves. On paper, this may be the best team I've put together, especially if I don't move anyone else.

We have a solid rotation with 4 frontline starters (Honea, Pulido, Fajardo and possibly Torres) and depth and flexibility (Danny Gonzalez, Aarnholt, Hurtado, and Serrano) to fill out the bottom of the rotation.

Our bullpen has nice righty-lefty balance with a backend of Gruell-Strachan-Williams, a lefty specialist in Jamie Swiney replacing Bryant, and Jimmy Morosco as a middle relief workhorse.

The line-up is balanced with table setters at the top in McCarley, Anguiano, and Estes. We have Wright and Rosales at the heart of our order with average and power. Gutierrez, Kemp, and Lara are all capable of driving in runs and Dowling and Zuk are above average #8 hitters.

We should be better defensively. Lara is one of the best defensive catchers, Dowling and McCarly are solid up the middle and Kemp is a good 3B. Rosales is a weak spot at 1B, but Zuk is a solid utility IF. The OF is much upgraded with Estes and Anguino allowing Gutierrez and Wright to play in the corners.

Bench looks deep with Bryan, Cole and Dave Richardson or Tyler Cohen at catcher.

Jamie August got OSA and bumps from my scout. He has the potential to be a homerun hitting monster and he picked up some more defense at 1B.

I'm excited to see what this team can do.

Hector Feliciano hasn't missed a regular season game since 2010.

There's no way we keep track of iron man streaks.

That being said, anyone know who the most durable guys are?

Clay's?

Clay's?

Well played.

Clay's guys missed a few games here and there during their stays in the rejuvenation chamber.
