They’ve already basically turned over their roster 2x this year… Once already they released 9 players at once, maybe more I believe, and the other time it was pretty similar.

They’re still trying to work out the kinks in the roster and get people in the seats.

They aren’t too bad.. but they aren’t too good either.

Second, even if there is, If you’re already playing in the Can-Am league and you’re on the verge of being cut then… well… you’re probably not gonna make it. Sorry.

I loved it when Ken Griffey Sr and Jr both got to play for the Mariners.
.
The guy who gets cut? He probably gets re-signed as soon as the publicity event’s over–if he had any real value to the team at all.

I wish I could play on my son’s team. I’d have to shave and forge a birth certificate. I know I’d hit better now than in the 70′s. However, if I don’t hit it out of the infield I’m toast.
