August 30, 201213 yr Andre Rienzo (SP) Santos Rodriguez (LHRP) Taylor Thompson (RP) being groomed as the future closer? http://www.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?si...&pid=543853 http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/pro...Taylor-Thompson (44th round pick from Auburn in 2009 draft) Carlos Sanchez (INF) Andy Wilkins (1B/3B/DH) Trayce Thompson (OF) The "Double T" alliteration is a tongue twister. Taylor Thompson and Trayce Thompson on the same team... 27 of the MLB Top 100 picks are there. My MLB.com accessibility just went down here in China, but all the team rosters are currently up on that site if someone wants to link it. No Mitchell, Petricka, Phegley, Molina (need him to rest this entire off-season, same with Beck), Castro, Leesman, Kevin Vance, etc. Everyone predicted Thompson and Sanchez. Wilkins is a surprise. And maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention, but Taylor Thompson wasn't a name on the tip of the tongue, either. Saladino not being on the roster is a bit of a shock, although maybe they were limited to only one middle infielder?? Wilkins plays the corners. Edited August 30, 201213 yr by caulfield12

August 30, 201213 yr Author Okay. Merge with minor league news. By the way, why isn't Salvador Sanchez on the roster? http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/afl/club.jsp?team_id=527

Each team gets a certain number of slots for AFL players. Above that they can get other guys in if slots open up. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the case here.
August 31, 201213 yr Author Usually...at least in the past, I thought every team in MLB was allotted 6 spots?

August 31, 201213 yr Haven't Mitchell and Phegley already played in it? Dont think you can do it more than once.
