Frobby did a great job of that already.

I think and am grateful, the mortality rate isnt what they first feared it would be.

Thanks Frobby. I saw that about 45 days ago.

So they didn’t have anyone in right field in the intra squad game yesterday due to players being out with covid. I wonder if they end up putting pitchers in the field during regular season if there is an outbreak with a team.

Five OFers on a 60 man roster does seem light.

So Umpire Joe West who is high risk and 67 was told by the league he was eligible for full pay and service time if he skipped the season but he said he is umpiring. 65 games from the all time record of games umped.  He has umpired in the big leagues since 1976.

They started with 4 (Hays, Stewart, Santander, Smith) but two are not in camp yet.  That's why they added the 2 yesterday.

Interesting, when the spring training roster was published in February Wilkerson was listed among the OFs but when the 60 man list came out last week he was listed as an infielder.

As I said, Wilkerson was listed as an infielder on the 60 man roster.

The two new guys are Ryan Mountcastle and Mason Williams who were added to the 60 man pool yesterday.

Chapman and Royals back up catcher Cam Gallagher tested positive.

The concern with Gallagher is that he caught the game last night and was throwing the ball around with everyone.

Aroldis or Matt?  The manager of my fantasy team is asking.

Ardolis.  “Out for the foreseeable future.”  Whatever that means.

He had a moderate case. His kids got it too.

Most of the positive tests to this point are completely asymptomatic, no?

After his heart condition, I wonder if that makes him “high risk?”

Scott Kingery had symptoms as did Freddie Freeman.
