Dealing with the 40 man roster crunch
I looked at the current 40 man and it is easy to guess that 6-8 players won't be here next year based on expiring contracts, hopefully a trade or two, and outright releases. That said, I think we will still have a crunch and it will get worse in 2019. Yankees, who are further along than us, with a strong farm had around 5 players selected in the major and minor league portions. It makes sense to trade some of those off after the season and before the draft if you can. Hoped Future Sox might do this as next project after mid season update....hint hint hint.

DSL Rallies to win in ten 5-4. Only sixth win off year and 5 runs is about a weeks worth for them.

I'll tell you what, they have a terrible record but it is due to no offense. Their pitching has actually been pretty good. Tough to pitch when you pretty much know if you give up a run you are toast.

Thats in part what I was referring to. Getting bigger with age while being injured may mean a little extra weight also. Just guessing. Let him spend the offseason training with Robert LOL! I think he has the work ethic to be fine in left once he gets used to it.

I wonder with all the injuries he has had if he is simply not in great shape to run in the outfield? Or maybe adjusting to the different angle from RF to LF. Hard to imagine a guy who was thought at one point to be a RF now is not good in left. May show why he is not up or at least provides a reason,"There are things he needs to improve on" speech.

Fulmer gets the win in relief. one inning , no hits or walks , 2 k. 9 pitches and seven strikes. At least a positive outing.

Brad Hand to the Indians
Ouch. Hope they give up a lot although San Diego's presumed window is about like ours. Realistically , I don't ever see them being able to consistently compete vs Dodgers $$$$$

Cardinals splitting their talent with two DSL teams have a combined 46 wins. Ouch! I think they were in the penalty phase on signings as well.

Has there been a lower winning percentage than our DSL? 5-33. I know the answer may be them after tomorrow's game

Make A Deal: Joakim Soria
I think it will also come down to if we include money in the deal. Money may be able to sweeten the return as several contenders are also trying to stay under the salary tax cap.

Trade Proposals
You go young and try a reverse Shields for "he who shall not be named" We are facing a 40 man roster crunch. You need to go with guys who are 2+ years away from needing to be protected.
