Strop-like, when Strop is on.  I'm hoping.

How does he wear his hat?

I don’t think Wright will be claimed if we DFA him.    

Ugly ST so far for him. What’s up with the cutter?  That seems like a desperate attempt at having a SP repertoire. FB and SL should be enough out the pen.

Good article by Roch pointing out how few of our bullpen guys have options.     I won’t be surprised to see Dan addressing that issue this week with some minor trades.

Won't be long before we are forced to get rid of Tillman and Wright, then things will get easier. Or, if they are good, that would also solve the problem. I think the former is much more likely.

Rodriguez and Edgin have been reassigned.  Looks like they'll start with 12 pitchers instead of 13.

So it's pretty much decided then,

Bundy, Gausman, Cashner, Tillman

Brach, Oday, Givens, Bleier, Arajuo

Castro, Wright, Cortes

Who else is even still with the club?

Mullins, Sardinas, Alvarez, Presley. No other pitchers.

I think Presley is gone and down to 28.

We are down to 28, including the four I mentioned. Three must go to be at 25. According to Roch, Presley is still on the team.  http://www.masnsports.com/school-of-roch/2018/03/rodriguez-and-edgin-reassigned-to-minor-league-camp.html

Looks like Alvarez is making the team then. 

I was kind of looking forward to seeing Santander in there everyday. Oh well.

Edgin but I doubt he bumps those guys if they want to keep their "potential"

Ooops never mind.  I saw he was reassigned.

Edgin was sent down with Joely about 30 mins ago.

I'd have to imagine that DD is scouring the waiver wire.  Wright, Castro, and Cortes, have not looked too great this ST.

Egin is gone, as is Rodriguez. 

Come on Dan. No way Tillman at 88 or Wright is better than these guys. Hope they are on a short, short leash.
