NRI list for ST

[Sports Guy]

 

All the big names it appears.

I might be more excited for ST than I am OD  

 

Also completely forgot about Prieto. Excited to see what he can do.

Kade Strowd?   That's an interesting one.   Hasn't pitched above A+ but has a big arm.   Slightly surprised on Prieto.    Holliday?   Have they done that with the other 1st round picks?

Where are the LHPs?

I feel like maybe they did with Adley? Just let Holliday absorb some ML vibes and send him on his way after a few days.

I betcha Lewin Diaz just can't wait to get into spring training.

No big surprises here for me though I'm a little surprised on Neustrom after the year he had last year. I might have given Haskin a look over him this spring.

Agree - would be nice to get a look at anybody who can theoretically play CF.

Good to see Handley on the list. Holliday is exciting.

Who else would have invited that's left-handed? Zac Lowther? After his year last year he'll need to show back up a different guy this year and they're not going to reward him with a ST invite.

I’m going to ST games on March 9 (Clearwater), 10 and 12.   I think Holliday and maybe Kjerstad will be in MiL camp by then.   I’m really hoping to see Westburg, Cowser, Norby, Grayson and Ortiz while I’m there.   I’ve actually seen the latter four in a game or two at Bowie, but not against major league competition.   Can’t wait to get there!

The 40-man already has a bunch of lefties: Perez, Irvin, Zimmermann, Akin, Hall, Rom.

It's nice to just give him that taste of the big leagues and get him around guys like Adley and Gunnar. He'll probably get cut when minor league spring starts up so he can get ready for his season and the guys he'll be playing with.

Speaking of which, nice to see Cowser on the list too. One of those new ranking lists had him as a solid CF. Not sure he's perceived that way around here...

Cowser can play CF effectively now, but I don't think that will be a long term position. He's similar to Hays was when he came up initially. Won't kill ya, but he'll be about average or slightly below OOA out there initially. As his footspeed drops off, he'll need to move to the corner but should be good enough to play the big LF in Camden Yards for a bit before ultimately settling in at RF where his arm plays well anyways.

No Joey Ortiz? He's not on the 40-man is he?
