2012 Player Adds/Drops

Postby Kevin » Sun Feb 26, 2012 4:01 pm

Here is my first cut at the list of players to add and drop from the DTBL roster. These are not official, so please weigh in with your thoughts. I'm still waiting on word on a few unsigned players who may or may not play this season. For now, I have dropped most of these players, but reserve the right to re-add them if there are any updates about them in the next week or so. The pitchers formerly known as Leo Nunez and Fausto Carmona are also on the cut list since I have no idea if they'll even be able to make it back to the USA this year. One thing I noticed was the long list of former stars who are on their way out of the league. I hope to post the official draft pool later this week, so please let me know if you have any comments on this. I'm certainly willing to make some adjustments.

With Scott Sizemore out for the year with a torn ACL, I have removed him from the list. As a result, Ian Stewart and his .156 batting average have been reinstated. Please contain your excitement.

One more change. Since it sounds like Brett Myers is going to move to the Astros bullpen to be their closer, there is really no point in having all three of the Astros relievers I added in hopes of making sure their closer was in the league. So I have removed Juan Abreu and re-added Kerry Wood. For those of you scoring at home, that's two Cubs players who I have decided to put back in the league. Sorry, Bryan LaHair isn't getting in next.

Barring any last minute changes, the full draft pool can now be seen by checking out the current free agent list. Just three days until we get this thing started!
