This roster isn't set in stone just yet, but it's what it'd look like if I don't make any more offseason moves.

I'll probably do something about not having any back up middle infielders, and I'm probably not done with the bullpen/pitching staff.

[Kingdom]

It might be more worthwhile to give O'Sullivan a crack at it over Logan, since he has room to grow and Logan's over his norms. Plus O'Sullivan has nice attributes

[HollywoodLeo]

I actually considered that.

I wish his stuff would come up.

I'd have him in the rotation if his actuals matched his talent.

[Kingdom]

Late bloomer candidate. Might develop period, if you run with him, even as a mop up at the very least. He's certainly worth the risk compared to Logan.

[HollywoodLeo]

Maybe he'll be my TPSL version of Kyle Best.

[nick]

your pitching is still kind of rank


There's gotta be atleast 1 or 2 reliable starters out there.. Grienke is probably the best bet in general. Matsuzaka is okay...

i'd try to add another starter or something. As for Logan & the other dude, Sullivan has a lot of potential and could hit it around 28ish.... but if Logan has any past success, maybe go with him just to start the season. yr bullpen is really painful in some areas, and any success is going to be needed in that area to take that division.

Conor Martin is cool

[HollywoodLeo]

Updated to reflect the Chris Province signing and inserting Ryan O'Sullivan into the bullpen.

[Kingdom]

Was Kyle Best TSSL?

[HollywoodLeo]

Was Kyle Best TSSL?

Yeah.

MR with 10-10-8 potential (or something around there. I know it had two 10s in it) any rate, he didn't fill out at all and I pretty much forgot about him, until one season when he was 27 I saw he was suddenly starting to fill out so I called him up.

He ended up being my closer the year I won the WS.

[HollywoodLeo]

Updated to add Gorzelanny

Undecided on who actually gets the bump down to AAA between Cliff Lee and Nevin Griffith.

[nick]

I'd give Cliff Lee a very short leash to redeem himself. I mean, he's come out of retirement 500 times and has to be pushing 40 by now, so the fact that he didn't retire after last season has to mean something... maybe he'll do something worthwhile as a last hurrah. If not just cut that ****.

[Kingdom]

Griffith since Lee has always been a never was in this league

[nick]

I manage like Joe Torre

[HollywoodLeo]

I guess the Cliff Lee decision can be put on hold for 6 weeks.
