Some AFL magic for this guy would certainly be nice....

These are some of the worst AFL rosters I have ever seen...

Nice to see Braves sending Cordier and Beachy. I'll be watching Ackley, Jackson, Taylor.

I go everywhere for a couple weeks, very disappointed as well.. Usually the tentative rosters get worse before the first game rather than better also. More players are shut down, and lesser prospects are added.

Glad to see Rangers sending Engel Beltre to the AFL. He has really blossomed this year. Still needs to work on his plate discipline but he is finally getting some production from his tools. The rest of the Rangers list is pretty blah. Danny Gutierrez is headed back to AZ after impressing alot of people there last year but he has so many character issues I doubt he will ever amount to anything. I thought Martin Perez might get a shot but a recent stint on the DL with back problems combined with a disappointing year killed those chances. Maybe next year.

Fingers crossed that Strieby will be good to go. Everything is setup perfectly for him to start next season in Detroit if he can stay healthy.

Jarrod Parker?

Have a feeling he'll be another late addition, assuming his rehab continues on course.

BOILER UP!! -Jay Buente FLA R R 6-2 185 09/28/83 Evansville, IN Jacksonville (AA)

Love seeing Cordier and Kipnis on the rosters!

skrip

Jarred Cosart should be an add or at least that was the plan...

Like I said last night, lot of teams were not happy with the position slots they were given and tried to trade with other teams to meet each others needs.... Looks like some teams said "screw player development" and elected to " address Rule 5 roster problems". Also, teams are doing the auxillary league . Looks like my decision to skip the AFL this year over a week of ST is looking okay now.

Hope yall stay awake out there.

Good to see that Logan Scahfer still has the backing of Milwaukee. I know they have a glut of outfielders, but I was hoping and praying that his injury didn't derail things for him. Hopefully he'll have a resurgence like LoCain.

Haha Jeffress is a September 1st callup!!

Jared Mitchell coming back from his injury is going to be playing in the AFL.

Adeiny Hechavarria TOR R R 5-11 180 04/15/89 Santiago de Cuba, Cuba New Hampshire (AA)

Jose Iglesias BOS R R 5-11 175 01/05/09 Havana, Cuba Portland (AA)

Talk about a double play combo that's probably pretty familiar with each other.

Skrip, are you a Boiler?

My fiance just completed her masters at Purdue in May, and is continuing on for her doctorate. I visit her in West Lafayette usually twice a month, or 3 times every 2 months or so. Pretty nice town there, nice area.
