Who gets the fourth bench spot? Cabrera, Paredes, or someone else?

I'm hoping Paredes makes it. However, if they send Flaherty down (which I don't think is impossible), they could potentially keep both Cabrera and Paredes.

Borbon is a poor man's Lough, so I really hope he's not on the team. Lough can actually hit a little bit, and has amazing range. Not a Borbon fan at all.

Lavarnway, Flaherty, Reimold and Cabrera for the bench. Paredes on OD and then outright him. Maybe we get lucky and keep him because it's early.

Of course, these are my preferences not what I think will happen.

Why Reimold over Paredes?

Wouldn't that give you 14 position players?

Good point. Maybe at the beginning it is likely if both Gausman and Gonzo are sent down.

This is the Law of Flaherty. Flaherty must play at the ML level for there to be stasis in Buck's world.

Paredes has questionable defensive skills not surpassing those of Flaherty. The Law of Flaherty is upheld.

Ah, I left out Delmon.

Maybe it wasn't so much an oversight as it was wishful thinking.

Been hanging out with Corn?

No, believe it or not I can form my own opinions. Delmon is useful enough in small doses but beyond the capacity Buck used him in last year I have little faith he'll succeed.

I don't believe Paredes is or ever can be good enough defensively for Buck to be included. Nolan brings OBP and other intangibles to answer Crazysilver's question.

Woah woah woah, I am not Wildcard. How do you confuse CS with WC?
