8. Number of minor league free agents, waivers pickups and Rule V players on active roster. (At least three more on the 40-man and DL.)

 

Yep- but I only count 7 on the active roster. Whatever the number, Fal-Vine deserve credit for competently shoring up the roster and getting mostly competent results- without splashy but dangerous deals that might have risked the long-term success of the club.

 

The big thing is pushing the club to finally commit to, ONLY, Sano and Polanco at 3B and SS, as well as acquiring two better defensive catchers.

 

Now if they can spend a little more and get a more trusted DH option and pitching help before August 1.

Here's my count.

 

Breslow, Haley, Kintzler, Pressly, Wilk, Giminez, Adrianza, Grossman.

Thanks. I thought Giminez was a FA major league signing.
