I fixed it ... but someone else will just ignore that or find another workaround ... yes

That would be the most reliable.

What would be worse ... and you can't say 'yes' (or an equivalent of yes) as an answer ... but what would be worse: A season full of ifs that didn't pan out? -0R- A season NOT full of ifs that didn't pan out? Okay, I'm not saying it's better to have a lot of ifs, because it's not, but I think spoiled expectations is worse. Maybe. Losing regardless is worse, but, just trying on my 'a little perspective' glasses. Don't really like them, but, it might get me through the season.

So, you're saying that these things aren't as iffy as some think?

If Sanchez is being used as the primary DH, then I can sort of but not really but sort of if I squint, look the other way and say we've got 2 catchers and a DH. But, like you, I still don't like that plan. Sano will be DHing, Arraez will be DHing, Kirilloff could be DHing, others could DH when a break is needed on the field, so, Sanchez as the primary DH won't really be primarily a DH and then it's 3 catchers. I've never liked 3 catchers on a roster. It's a wasted space, imo. But ... I guess we will see. You know me ... none of these decisions are within my control, so while I have my thoughts on the matter, it will be what it will be. And I'll be watching baseball, win or lose. (Well, okay, if there is more of the latter, I will likely be watching less baseball.)

I'm looking forward to it ... except I wish he still had the long hair

I said none of that. Nor was my comment at all in that vein.

Kepler will be fine in CF for an occasional day, so will Gordon, when Bux needs a day off. If Buxton goes on the IL, Celestino gets called up. I want Celestino playing every day so he's ready to fill in when he's called on to do so.

Concur. However - I will be okay-ish if 3 come north when the roster is at 28; but definitely will not be okay with 3 when the roster is trimmed to 26

Just bumping this because ... it's getting close I'm still going with Winder.

You misunderstood the nature of my post. As a moderator and community leader, I was asking for people to be respectful of Thorpe citing Twitter and a few other comments that weren't about anything but his character. That's not to say we can't discuss this decision and who Thorpe is/was as a pitcher, the good and the bad, but I was suggesting that the other stuff be left out.

Why do we need 3 catchers? My assumption is that Godoy goes to St. Paul and comes up if either Jeffers or Sanchez hit the IL. Are we back to the Gardy days of filling a bench position with an extra catcher?

Yeah, lol … the last line ‘the range of outcomes could be limitless’ … guess I’ll stick with my ‘Hope for the best, prepare for the worst’ philosophy

Again, no one is saying otherwise. The point is to please stay on topic.

Can we please be a little respectful? Dreams die ... and it's sometimes very difficult for some. Have you never been upset about 'the job' you didn't get? What bird said ... he might benefit from a little counseling ... so let's give him a little benefit of the doubt right now

Could anyone hack into the system and pick up the signals? I don’t know enough about the technology, so just asking in case others would know

Well, from how I read it (from Seth in the Minor League forum): "Enlow will start the season on the Wind Surge Injured List, but don't be surprised if he's back to pitching in games by May. He had Tommy John surgery last May." So, that sounds to me that the hope is he will be pitching in actual games, off the IL in early May. So, putting him on the 60-day wouldn't have fit in that timeline? Yes? It's all still confusing

It was reported that he has been pitching and the expectation was that he would see game time in early May (in Wichita), which is probably why he hasn't been placed on the 60-day IL, and, may not, so his roster spot may not free up anything on the 40-man.

Yes, he's already passed his medicals and is already in camp

Well, I guess this is about all that’s left …

I will slap you

It would probably get abused on here, much like a very small number of people abuse/misuse the reactions for trolling purposes

Can we have a sarcasm font, too?

It says this at the end of the 2nd paragraph: (Players may only be optioned five times per season; after that, it requires outright assignment waivers to assign the player to the Minor Leagues.)

Yes, that’s what I was thinking. And reading on this, I find no mention that double headers don’t count toward the 5 options, so I’m guessing they do? Again, wish it specifically clarified this. https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/minor-league-options
