This is the truth. You have to have someone who can close; you don't have to have the best closer in the game, especially if you're losing anyhow. On this team CK would have been pitching in games in which we're losing, just to get work (and cause posters here to howl in pain). SD's GM is...

Anyone done the math on what our payroll is down to?

MLBTR says we're going to DFA Quentin. So we replace Kimbrel on the 25 man roster with Maybin. Not carrying 13 pitchers after all.

Roster on MLB.com lists 26; Cunningham and Outman both on there. I presume Outman's going on the DL. Looks like they kept Cunningham over Pedro, at least for now.

we're going young...except when we're not.

You'll get to see Cody Martin, he's the 7th bullpen guy according to MLB.com. Folty to AAA. Good, if he gets the innings. Might be the next man in the rotation if someone gets hurt.

Looks to me like the 25th man will be either Gosselin, Benson or Cunningham. KJ and Eric Young looks like locks at this point. Four presently not on 40 man that will be: Young, Stultz, KJ and Benson if he makes it. Who goes from the 40 man?

I think they played this one well, Stultz outpitched Wandy and we tested them both out pretty well. But who gets the last three bullpen spots? Avilan, Jaime and Folty? McKirahan has to stay as a rule 5.

maybe a positive drug test?

Melvin?!?!

Yeah, the roids apparently didn't help him much since he failed to make the team even tho it was a virtual lay up for him. I'm assuming he shot up this winter for a big spring push and the team didn't know he was positive when they optioned him.

I'd say its Stults instead. Hopefully Minor comes around and we only have to keep one of those guys all year. BTW Dodgers released Jamey Wright today, wouldn't he be the viable 7th reliever that we're looking for?

Looks like our opening day lineup, except maybe 2b. And no offense besides CJ, so far.

Indeed. Losing is NOT fun.

after 162 games, it is what it is.

for those who are convinced Atl is a last place team I submit this: Aaron Harang is expected to be the Phillies #2 starter.

correct. I wonder how Buck's deal is structured; maybe we only have to pay him until he reaches pumpkin status.

The Callapso deal was early, correct? We underestimated what would be available on minor league deals so we made some moves early in the offseason that we didn't need to (Wang, Veal, Callapso). IMO this is a no brainer, sign Wandy, I can't believe there isn't 2 million in the budget somewhere.

can he pitch? Or hit? Or field? If so he has a shot. Its pretty bad, all these guys fighting for a job and we still are losing.
