This is a good exercise. I think you’ve oscillated a little bit with adding in floors (over ceiling alone), but I like the idea. Here’s mine:
C - Rutschman
1B - Mancini/Mountcastle
2B/SS/UTIL - Hall/Henderson/Carmona
3B - Encarnacion
LF/RF - Diaz/Santander
CF - Hays
DH - Mountcastle/Mancini
Backup C - Severino
4th OF - McKenna
Bench - Stowers
Rotation:
Hall
GrayRod
Peralta
Kremer
Akin
Pen:
Castro
Givens
Scott
Bundy
Baumann
Harvey
Lowther
They've got to play him, right? With Bowie in the playoffs, why would you call up their best player to ride the pine? I realize the major league club is most important, but the only reason it makes sense to call him up is to play him.
One of the guys I'm excited to track this year is Castro. I know the O's said they'd send him to Bowie, but I haven't heard anything since, he hasn't pitched (that I know of), and he's not listed on the Baysox roster. Does anyone know what's going with him and when we'll see him?
