Can anyone who has a minute break down our bullpen? I know we have Gregersom, Qualls and Neshek. Which are 3 pretty good relievers, but who else?

Was hoping and expecting that. I feel like we may have a fairly solid 7-8-9 with Neshek, Qualls, & Gregerson.

So which two will be dropped from the 40-man to make room for Hernandez and Thatcher?

Obie and Fields might start the season on the DL, so they may be able to hold off on roster moves for now.

Wojo better make it. He's earned it.

So what are we looking at from non pitchers..

Castro C/DH
Conger C
Carter 1B/DH
Singleton 1B/DH
Gattis 1B/DH/LF/C
Altuve 2B
Lowrie SS
Gonzalez SS/3B/2B
Valbuena 3B
Springer RF/CF
Rasmus CF/LF
Marisnick CF/RF
Grossman LF/CF

That would leave 5 starters and 7 relievers.

Have Hoes and Villar been sent down?

I think Grossman, Hoes and Singleton will be sent down and Presley and Villar nab the last two spots. M

Sounds like we might find out tomorrow.

No, pretty much everyone expected him to be the starting CF

The only move I was really unsure of was Presley/Grossman. I had been hearing chatter that Singleton would be sent down.

I hope that is short lived and he forces his way up.

The Astros announced that they've traded infielder Gregorio Petit to the Yankees in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

We didn't get anything for DeShields. He was never going to get a chance in Houston though

No crap? Didn't realize we left him unprotected. Was he a wade pick or luhow pick? I know he had speed but guess he could never get on base

If he is on the Rangers opening day roster, they are in trouble.

They just claimed rule 5 pick Logan Verett off waivers from the Orioles, too, so Texas will be carrying two rule 5 picks on their opening day roster.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if they want to move them down they are then placed on waivers. If not pick up then they are offered back to their old team. If not accepted then they go down.
