South or Sith, can either of you post a list of just the minors players who were cut?

Could even do like a (30) man roster, Active and Minors combined. However you wanna split it up. Going over (15) in either would cost you draft picks.
Just some random thoughts. Getting excited to think about baseball again. My job now I have Saturdays off woo-hoot.

We could always get rid of the active draft and just keep our rosters too :+)

Will be kind of upsetting when Kyrie signs in LAL in the off-season. Gilbert should have held onto him and made him play it out.

I dont mind pausing the draft. we can just pretend Pronk is on the clock <B be like old times

That is what I was thinking. No reason to delay, if we have to hit the pause button at least we already have a few rounds in the book.

it's quite a feat for every starting pitcher to stay healthy, the injury rates for pitchers are astronomical and always have been, such is life
the goal is to be competitive and in the playoffs every year because every year anything can happen, if your goal is to have the best roster in baseball every year you will fail nearly every year

the Indians did not do nothing, they shed enough payroll to keep Kluber and their premier pitching staff intact, which is the best "nothing" they could have done
now they can sit back and see how the season plays out and address an area of need when they need to, they are in the worst division in Baseball, why act like they are in the AL East when they aren't? go bag on the Pirates, there is a team who did nothing
Indians off-season has been fine. They remain one of the best run organizations in baseball and are going through a rebuild on the fly right now without burning down the house. They don't have a lot of high-minors talent but they have one of the best groups of teenage talent in all of baseball. They have the pieces to make a deal when they need to.

Curious to see if Yu Chang makes the team out of spring training. Think he eventually settles in as their everyday 3rd baseman with Ramirez moving over to 2nd, and Kipnis (hopefully) either as a utility or just on the bench.
Would like to see them pull off a deal for Clint Frazier (assuming he is over the concussion stuff) because I think he can be had and I think he might help. Our OF is garbage. Not sure who ends up starting other than Leonys Martin in CF.

I think Bryce ends up in SF. heard the same recently. but their new ops prez doesn't like handing out $100mil contracts so he may be hesitant to triple anything offered while he was in LA. and SF isn't the most homer friendly park for anybody, let alone lefties. philly is still in the running, but would harper move from one NL east team to another? with the right money, obviously. though I think philly wanted machado more than harper. so maybe he signs with the dodgers out of nowhere. or in my fantasy dream scenario ... the rockies! money line bet would be SF though. they have the money and the need for a middle of the order bat. and they need to contend with their down the coast neighbors...both LA and SD. SF tried to get Giancarlo last year. I hear Bryce is down on Philly cause of Kapler but also hear a lot of traction last week for him to end up there. I could see Bryce in Cleveland his wife is from OH woot!

I love Eric and Kiley's chats. They generally have one every week. They don't always field my questions but they are generally informative and just snarky enough to keep it entertaining.
