Oh good, you visited the Twitter page I told you about. You will love it.

Yes, I do. Thanks! I read there today that ex-Rubberduck Thomas Pannone has made the Blue Jays roster. He was part of the price for Joe Smith. I note that the Blue Jays first reported on Tom in 2017: "John Sickels rated him as a C+ prospect, and most analysts did not expect him to repeat his 2016 success." but he continues to overachieve.

I always liked Pannone. Looked to have potential to me. I hope he does well. Except against us.

2016 draft pick Andrew Lantrip injured his shoulder again in his very first inning back. He has to have surgery again, and has decided to retire from baseball.

That sounds like a good idea.

Ah, sad day. I have to see the former Buckeye cut. And Civ’s little engine that could goes with him.

Some cuts today ...

#Indians 21 MiLB player releases to date now. Way more than in the past. I'm hearing possibly more before end of camp. Looks like the organization is going to really be pushing some of the younger players.

They have more teams in Arizona and Dominican now, so this had to be. No more teams at A ball and above.

Seems like they used to keep marginal players in extended spring training and release players just before the June draft. What's the rush?

I sure didn't expect one of my "breakout spectaculars" Todd Isaac to last much longer.

They have more teams in Arizona and Dominican now, so this had to be. Absolutely: the funnel is very wide now at the top but narrows quickly to the same width as before.

I don't know what happened but I'm no longer able to share images from Twitter any more.

Rosters for minor league teams are being posted this morning.

I see a Clippers roster that includes 17 pitchers, 3 catchers, 3 infielders [2 of them 1st basemen] and 5 outfielders. IF will get supplements from among Mathias and Krieger. None of the pitchers are known to be injured so perhaps there will be some more releases. Here's the current roster:

Akron roster
http://www.milb.com/roster/index.jsp?sid=milb&cid=402
also must be a work in progress. It includes 5 catchers and again only 3 IF's. Mathias is on this list, Krieger as an OF. They must be fishing for more veterans to fill the infields. 16 pitchers here include McKenzie who we know goes on the DL, Doesn't have Longo, but I can't believe he'll be back at Lynchburg. Don't we expect Nolan Jones to open with the Ducks?

I saw the Akron roster earlier, Longo was on it.

You may want to check out this guys time line on Twitter too, Civ. He gets some inside minor league stuff as well. (Like the updated rosters as of now) He works for team, so you won't get any juicy rumors. But will get latest released information from club.

I wasn't getting updates when I tried that site yesterday. I'll give it a go again thanks.
