Transactions/roster

This from ESPN's transactions answers all the roster questions I believe

Quote:

Optioned pitcher John Patterson, catcher Robby Hammond and infielder Alex Cintron to Tucson of the Pacific Coast League (AAA); assigned pitchers Eddie Oropesa and Ron Villone, infielder Chris Donnels and outfielder Mark Little to minor league camp; designated pitcher Greg Swindell for assignment; released pitcher Mike Jackson; loaned outfielder Felix Jose to Mexico City of the Mexican League; purchased the contract of infielder Carlos Baerga

This should leave a roster of:

Pitchers - 11
Johnson
Schilling
Dessens
Kim
Villareal
Mantei
Batista
Myers
Koplove
Prinz
Randolph

Position Players
Moeller
Barajas
Grace
Overbay
Spivey
Counsell
Womack
Williams
Baerga
Gonzalez
Finley
Bautista
Dellucci
McCracken

Is this right?

I like everything except the infield. CC and Junior are fine. The rest of it makes me uneasy. Grace and Matty are not the defense they used to be, Tony is always so hot and cold - maybe being a contract year he'll tighten it up a notch - Baerga is more a PH than infield - and Overbay still has a ways to go to prove his value.

I appreciate your concerns, but how many of us had heard of or thought highly of Counsel, Bautista, or McCracken till they gave them the chance. This team has come up with an unknown "solid" each of the last 3 years. Lets hope it continues.

Baerga is a stud pickup for us, i think he adds great depth to our bench....I wish Cintron was in there, but im sure he will be. I dont think anyteam can get through the season without injuries..
