The fact that they put Anderson, Abreu, & Jimenez back to back to back shows they really didn't put a ton of effort into making the list. Also leaving out one of the top pitchers in the AL is crazy to me

Apparently they only had 1 practice with contact before the game so I would expect a lot of rust the first couple weeks. Regarding how to upgrade or keep talent, I could see JUCO guys or younger players with academic issues trying to come to the XFL to get paid while also trying to get drafted, this is if it stays around for a few years. I also really like the $100,000 incentive the team gets for winning, I know it isn't a ton but for a lot of these guys that extra money means a lot.

I am little confused how this would be set up? Anyone care to explain better?

How is anyone supposed to know that? lol Not really sure how. I don't care for Ventura one way or the other but I don't agree with taking the opportunity away from someone else just because of who he is.

Why are you so butthurt? Most of those grad student assistant jobs go to former college players looking to get into coaching and learn not to some old former player as a publicity stunt. He could have just been a volunteer coach and had the same effect. And most only have one as you can see if you just looked at the coaching staff on the website instead of being a dick and making it personal. https://okstate.com/sports/baseball/roster#sidearm-roster-coaches

An actual grad student who wants to get his foot in the door in coaching? Just make Ventura a volunteer coach, why take a student assistant position away from someone?

I hope he isn't taking a spot of another student that could have had the gig.

I do think Lopez go be a great bullpen guy too. Him for 1-2 innings could be where he ends up on this team

What about Craig Stammen? Older but has been solid for years.

Gio has been a really steady pitcher for the past 10 seasons, I think he will be a great vet presence and really need LH in the rotation. He is better than Nova IMO

Perfectly fine 5th started and long man once Kopech comes back up

Hahn's hands must be getting real warm.
