A very necessary overhaul, thank goodness.

The only two names on that list I kinda liked were Parra and Miley. The only one on there that was probably a "plus" starter was Montero (except maybe Chavez but he was always hurt). Everyone else is addition by subtraction.

And I think you missed Didi, didn't he start off in the bigs last year?

No - he started in the minors, and wasn't called up until June.


I thought about including him, since he is the starting SS for the Yankees, having netted the Dbacks Robbie Ray and Domingo Leyba

Okay, I think what confused me was him playing in the Australian series, which I guess was not considered our opening day roster.

No - the Dbacks and Dodgers were allowed expanded rosters for that series, since it took place a week before other teams had to get down to 25-man roster.

Campana free agent

Wonder if Didi wishes he wasn't in NY? And Stephen Drew still is in the bigs? Jeesh.
