40-man at 39

Not surprised at all. No big loss in my opinion.

Good minor leaguer but I remembered him struggling mightily when he got up here.

Oh well. Not gonna lose sleep.

Logical guy to go but I think he may be successful.

So basically it was Drabek for Wilkins

Meh, he was terrible anyway. Not that big of a loss.

Good luck to him he was not really long for Chicago anyway.

I still think he could be a decent platoon 1b/DH but that's not a role every team needs. I'm ok keeping Drabek around for a bit and losing him.

Good luck to him.

Basically. I'd take that swap any day of the week too.

Same.

 

Still, best of luck to Wilkins.

Who is Charlotte 1B now? Black and that's it?

Neftali Soto

Awesome, Wilkins is a dime a dozen career AAAA 1B. They have Dan Black for that role. If Jose and LaRoche are both injured for long stretches the team is f***ed anyways. Andy Wilkins isn't saving that day.

They have Andy LaRoche for the roll too

Why cut Wilkins before Brantley?

I am not surprised Wilkins is gone, but I am surprised he was the first one gone.

Wilkins is quite a bit closer to a big league player than Black, IMO.

I don't think he said otherwise.

Paving the way for a Viciedo return, haha.

Also don't forget Conor has played plenty of first this Spring.

I could see them trying Davidson at 1B in an emergency role.

Good luck Mr. Wilkins. Hope you become a star.

I still think they'd prefer the relative "certainty" (725ish-800ish OPS) of Viciedo compared to risking the season giving Davidson another major league tryout.
