Kelly I would put higher.

He is definitely someone who could move up or down in my mind based on how he and others finish out.

He has a weird slot with high velo as a LHP. If he can find control— very nasty

 

[saddles]

For now, I think this is how I would order the guys who were on the non-tender/dfa/release list.

A. J. Alexy
Mark Mathias
Nick Solak
Andy Ibanez
Spencer Howard
Dennis Santana
Nick Snyder
John King
Eli White
Meibrys Viloria
Josh Sborz
Kolby Allard
Mitch Garver
Brad Miller
Kohei Arihara

 

[Kelleyman]

So I am going to eyeball the roster and see which 10 we have to lose for sure

I see 8 including White who is on 60 man so no real subtraction. Have to make hard choices on 3 assuming no trade

what's the intended order there

 

[Kelleyman]

I think Yerry might be Non tendered. And we really need to upgrade some of the pen so really more than 10 don’t need to be here next year

The Howard/Arihara discrepancy is blowing my mind.

The Howard/Arihara discrepancy is blowing my mind.

If Arihara proves his last outing wasn't a fluke I would raise him considerably. I think Howard may make a decent reliever.

Also, after Ibanez there isn't a whole lot of difference to me between the next eleven guys.

i see Mathias as our UIF not needing to start much along Miller unless moved

no idea what you guys see in Howard. Dude needs to be on the first bus out of town.

 

[saddles]

So I am going to eyeball the roster and see which 10 we have to lose for sure

I think of those top 6 guys at the top in the free agent category and the club option category the only one I am including is Leclerc. I am keeping a few open spots for free agents. Perez and/or Moore could be one of those signings.

As far as I am concerned, I think you are overvaluing where I have him on that list. The whole list is full of guys who are expendable to me.

 

[saddles]

How many slots on the 40 man should we keep open for free agent signings, including our own if we resign them. Is 5 enough? Of course, every free agent we sign doesn't necessarily have to be signed before the Rule 5 draft. We could leave 4 or 5 slots open before the draft and then free up more with a trade after the draft.

So maybe the goal is to get it down to 35 spots before considering adding prospects.

17 for Leiter
42 for Jung
