Re: Official 40 Man Roster Tracker
I agree. I thought the Evoldi trade was a worthwhile gamble on Cashman's part, but I was never a fan. When they acquired him I posted that I has seen him pitch a hand full of times and my observation was his fastball was as straight as an arrow and his secondary pitches were below average. Some argued that his poor results were due mainly to bad luck, but I never bought into that theory.

Re: Official 40 Man Roster Tracker
I find it interesting that the Yankees did not leave themselves a slot to pick a Rule V player. Maybe in the Minor League portion they will grab a couple. They did OK last year, picking, among others, Yelfrey Ramirez.

Lindgren: Non-tendered by Yankees, signed ML contract with Atlanta - 39/40 slots taken.
While there is one slot available for the rule V draft this week - I believe it's for the impending Chapman FA signing.

Re: Official 40 Man Roster Tracker
It's not that they gave up on him. Since he is not projected to pitch in 2017 (maybe very late in the year, if that), they did not want to hold a roster spot for him on the very tight 40 man right now. So they were probably trying to pull the same stunt they did with Heathcott, Campos, and before him, David Adams. Drop them off the 40, then re-sign to a minor league deal. Probably at a nice salary for the minor league deals.
But the Braves gave him a major League deal. There was no way he could refuse that. Yankees tried; plan didn't work.

Re: Official 40 Man Roster Tracker
Officially noting Chapman is signed. To clear roster space, Nick Goody DFA.

You know, that song is about some serious vengeance. Maybe not as dark as "Every Breath You Take" by the Police, but yeah, the dude's cooking up a scheme.

Candidates for release, to make room on the 40-man for Chris Carter:
Johnny Barbato?
Rob Refsnyder?
I'd give up Barbato first."Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'" -- Mickey Mantle

Re: Official 40 Man Roster Tracker
Refsnyder cannot back up SS. He is not a utility IFer and never will be. Even the second base and third base experiments failed. SS was never a possibility. If RR could show power, he might have a spot in some team's OF. But he is not competitive with Torreyes. Not sure why some fans have this strange attachment to RR.
