Spring Training Roster Cuts

They dropped Zavala? Is that confirmed somewhere? That should be a thread if so.

I think it's a prediction and likely to happen if it's true that Ciuffo is good defensively.

    We refused to improve backup C, RF and 2B.

    Ian Clarkin was a Hartford Yard Goat in 2021, not sure what he's up to now though. 

  • Man Collins has to be questioning a lot of things right now.  All his own doing, but woof.   I suspect Ciuffo is our backup and Seby gets DFA'd next few days. 

This is my 3/29 OD roster guess.

Grandal

Cuiffo

Collins

Abreu

Anderson

Harrison

Moncada

Sheets

Engel

Leury

Vaughn

Robert

Hasley

Bummer

Burr

Cease

Crochet

Foster

Giolito

Graveman

Hendriks

Dallas

Kimbrel

Kopech

ReLopez

Lynn

Ruiz

Velasquez

Would take Crick over Burr or Foster…

Won't be 3 catchers.  Mendick instead of Cuiffo.  (He's been working out to be reserve catcher)

He has (to be an emergency catcher)?

I honestly would love if Ciuffo beat both Collins and Zavala out for the backup job. I don't think Zavala ended the year well with the Sox. He had a few games near the end of the year where he could stop a beach ball from getting past. I can't imagine TLR wants to have to pick between Zack and Seby. 

With Anderson suspension for first three games, do we have to play with “only “ 27 man roster?

I think you’ll get that wish.

I believe so yes.

No, I don’t think so. I think technically he’ll be on the restricted list, and somebody will occupy his spot on the active roster. I could see that person being Haseley.

Have Burr, Foster or Ruiz shown any indications at all in spring they are any different than past versions?

Is there a source where you can find out a players remaining options? Talking minor league options…

FanGraphs and their roster resource section.

Zack Collins sent to AAA, didn't expect that...

 

 

Good!

I feel like these cuts (specifically Burger and Haseley) basically guarantee Adolfo breaking camp.

I'm happy to see that they aren't going with Collins as the backup C out of the gate.  Still pulling for Micker to get a shot, even if its just in April.

Man Collins has to be questioning a lot of things right now.  All his own doing, but woof.  

I suspect Ciuffo is our backup and Seby gets DFA'd next few days.

I did not expect Zavala to last longer than Collins for sure.

I wouldn't be surprised if we carry three catchers with the 28 man roster.

Agreed. Especially if it allows them to DH Grandal more often that first month. More rest early.

Collins has options, Zavala does not.  That keeps him alive for a bit longer.
