Not much heavy lifting needed to get the roster down to 27 with only Mo Hampton, Jr. placed on waivers because he was out of options.
Here's how the OD roster shakes out:
C-Realmuto, Cartaya
1B-Crumpton
2B-W.Castro
SS-W.Franco
3B-C.Hernandez
IF-Reiner, McNair
LF-Kim
CF-Gutierrez
RF-Kelley
DH-Baez
OF-Cargill
Caleb Hampton was close to making the team but I went with Cargill, who should be a useful pinch-hitter.
SP-Hays, Marlette, Prosecky, Panzini, Swanda
LR-Cecconi, Brooks
MR-Adcock, Bruni, Garrard
SU-Dettmer, Moore, Fulton
CL-DiCostanzo
Brad Garrard is the surprise addition with
Kendall Williams out injured, and
Slade Cecconi is back for another go-round (he's out of options this time so no more yo-yoing).
The preseason predictions are a bit down on us, not fans of our hitting (losing Andrew Greckel does set the O back a bit):
Next up: While the MLB season starts on April 5 we don't start our season until the 7th when we host Boston for 2 games.
