Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
They also tweeted the rotation order: Fried, Weigel, Allard, Withrow, Soroka.

Interesting that Mader is there. I guess we're going to go ahead and convert him to a bullpen arm.
We've got a sick rotation, some intriguing bullpen arms, and just a few position players I'm interested in following - Demeritte, Lien, Moore, and to some degree Meneses.
I like that we're keeping Davidson down. It's the obvious move, but I was worried they might move him up.
Interested to see if TD can get balls out of there and if he can get those strikeouts from god awful to bad.

Jared James in AA will be interesting. He put up really good numbers last year in Danville and Rome.
I still think Mississippi is our least interesting group of offensive prospects by a significant margin, but there are some guys to keep up with.
Fire Frogs put out a press release, and it mentions 20 players. But the release also says they have a 25-man roster. Unless I'm missing something, they haven't posted their full roster yet: https://www.milb.com/fire-frogs/news...08/t-196097170
Man, there are multiple legitimately intriguing guys at every stop. You don't realize just how deep our system is until you go through each of these rosters and realize how few holes there are.
It's nice to have a legit-looking line-up of players either drafted or acquired through trades at each level (especially at the lower levels). The last couple of years, some of our teams have been populated with retreads from other systems and that shouldn't happen in a good minor league system.

Some guys I didn't see on full-season rosters that surprised me: Luis Mora, Jaret Hellinger, Taylor Hyssong, Matt Gonzalez, Roberto Osuna, Leudys Baez, JB Moss, Justin Ellison.
This team could be REALLY good. The lineup is eh, but the rotation could win them a lot of games!
