So each team will have a 60 man roster to choose from based on reports.  So how do you think they will use this in the organization.  Do we put guys on that we think will have to be used in games meaning older guys but with major league experience. Or Do they go with younger guys that are prospects to get the chance to work with them and not lose an entire year of instruction?  Guys like Hall, Rodriguez Adley, and other prospects that really are not ready to play in the majors.

Yes, but being on the taxi squad won't accrue service time.   Only the subset of guys on the taxi squad that actually get promoted to the ML roster due to injury would accrue any service time.   Maybe

Going to depend on the service time issue.  I don't see them putting the guys you mention on the roster if it means they will start their service clock.  Elias seems overly concerned about team control.

I expect a lot of AAA older players and a bunch of AAAA guys to be added. They will probably be contacting guys from the independent leagues that can be discarded. Who knows maybe they find a diamond in the rough.

Are they going to have an instructional league for the developmental guys to prevent the loss of a whole year?

The real quiz, then, is who is our “extra 20”? Can we guess?

Pitchers: Eshelman, Leblanc, Milone, Kline, Brady Rogers, Cervenka, Blach, Hanhold, Valdez, Jannis   (Alvarado, Jimenez, Mattson, Shepherd, Zastryzny, Diplan also crossed my mind)

Hitters: Valaika, Rondon, Wilkerson, Davis, Urena, Williams, Valentin, Herrera, Holaday... McCoy?  (Also Diaz and Bannon as considerations)

Which four do we add to our 26-man roster? Guessing Milone, Leblanc, Williams, Valaika.

I’m not sure we really have any evidence that’s the case. Mountcastle maybe but it was the end of the year when he didn’t come up and it makes sense to not bring him into a losing culture in a lost season.

Maybe?

He could have benefited from being called up last year and everything sounded like he was going to start the year in the minors this year.

If you are worried about a RH LF/1B type than in my opinion you are overly concerned about it.

I just don’t think it’s much to go off of. Maybe, maybe not. Concerned but not overly concerned.

I’d like to see Kremer, Zimmerman, Aiken, Mountcastle, Bannon, Diaz and McKenna. Interesting group of young guys that all have ML potential and I think could be serviceable right now.

I don’t think they would use service time unless they play games on the roster.  I am also not sure if they would use an option if they are put on there if they need to move to 40 man with injury.  I guess those details will come out soon which can help with the decision.

If I recall correctly they said that if you play the whole season it counts as a full year.  No idea if that has changed, it's been months.

Wonder how they will work partial years. Say if a player only plays 10 games, how does that count?

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I've been thinking about #2 a lot and wondering why this didn't come up at Elias' press conference.  I think the answer if you have to target a RH bat who isn't solely power-focused or chasing HR numbers, but who is otherwise a caliber of lefty-masher better than Mounty. Or, you force that hitter here via trade.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      Last offseason with John (I am so poor) Angelos still in charge, along with the depth in the upper minor leagues it made sense to make a trade for someone like Burnes.  I don't think Elias should be looking at making a trade this offseason using any of our young talent.  It is time for Rubenstein to open the checkbook and land us a TOR starter and a big bat.  The days of having too many prospects is over, I want to see us have some solid depth options in AAA if we need it.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.
