[MOTORCITY]

Danny Worth, Adam Wilk and Andy Dirks sent to AAA Toledo today. No idea why we keep Kelly on the main roster, thats a HUGE head scratcher.

25 man roster is set though now

Pitchers
Joaquin Benoit set-up man
Phil Coke #5 starter
Brad Penny #4 starter
Ryan Perry 7th inning pitcher
Rick Porcello #3 starter
Max Scherzer #2 starter
Daniel Schlereth
Brad Thomas
Jose Valverde closer
Justin Verlander #1 starter
Brayan Villarreal
Joel Zumaya DL

Catchers
Alex Avila will catch 2 games per series probably
Victor Martinez DH most days

Infielders
Miguel Cabrera Starting 1B
Carlos Guillen DL
Brandon Inge Starting 3B
Jhonny Peralta Starting SS
Will Rhymes Starting 2B
Ramon Santiago

Outfielders
Brennan Boesch
Austin Jackson Starting CF
Don Kelly
Magglio Ordonez Starting RF
Ryan Raburn Starting LF
Casper Wells

What does everyone else think of the roster? Besides carrying 3 extra outfielders, i'm happy with how the roster looks. Never heard of Villarreal but i'd assume he'll be the 2nd long reliever to go with Thomas. I just don't see how you give 3 outfielders enough ABs, we all know Leyland loves to use that bench, but it hurts Wells/Boesch to have them both on the roster when they wont get ABs

good question wish i new .looking to me as if magglio is going to be siting the bench alot.

Magglio won't, it'll be Raburn..which would be fine by me

Any real big prospect guys in AA I should try and get autos of?

Jacob Turner, you gotta get him (assuming the roster on the site is right)..If you get him on a Baseball for me, i'd pay for the ball, shipping and throw you a few dollars

Cody Satterwhite and Adam Wilk are decent as well, their on the site, although I heard Wilk was going to Toledo

How long you think Turner will be in AA? I probably won't go down to the ballpark until Akron comes to town in mid-May.

all year i'd assume. Unless he goes on a tear and they move him to the majors or to AAA, I see him being there all year. He's 19 or 20 now, so he'll probably be in Erie for the season

[nadeau01_johnson48]

Cool....I'll see what I can do for ya.

[MOTORCITY]

i dought it hopefully not,well probally both guys,i would like to see the younger guys play.

I would assume that Kelly is on the 25 because he could be used in the infield if needed. Plus Leyland has a giant man crush on him.

[MOTORCITY]

man crush lol.

raburn has been on fire 2 for 3 again today
