Well I'm sure all of you who play OOTP will agree when I say this doesn't happen anywhere near often enough, but we've had a player fall into our laps like a (modest) gift from God.
Chris Cannizzarro, who IRL played briefly for the Bucs in 1968, gets put up on the WW by the BoSox. Still on the min with a few years of TC left. No OYs of course but that's OK. Given how Hal Smith 1's ratings have nosedived over the break this is most fortuitous indeed and we snap him up to be Pags' backup C.
OK, so as I said earlier we are fully in line with our roster now and have all three CC slots allocated. That means Willie Crawford cannot be promoted until one of those has been vacated.
Pretty neat and tidy on the roster front then, just as I like it. Only these 26 on the Active Roster are on the 40-man! A few guys to lock or lose these next few years and, as you can see, our staff are all out of contract fairly quickly. So we'll need to be smart with how we manage all of this on our small budget.
A couple days into the season, we take in unsigned FA OFs Bobby Del Greco and Bill Virdon on minor option deals. I think we'll use one of them and send Maxvill down but not just yet.
