For Jesus Montero, you really should have said "Jesus Montero's extra weight".

I don't see any real notable names that have been dropped that I'm torn up about, but I'm assuming you'll adjust positions as needed if a free agent gets signed to a place where he'll get a starting job or a closer position, or if someone suffers a season ending injury before the draft?

Mike, I don't think there are any other unsigned free agents who were strongly considered. There are three who I've decided to keep though: Kendrys Morales, Ervin Santana and Stephen Drew. I doubt I will replace any of the three unless it becomes apparent that they will be waiting until June (or later) to sign. Last minute changes because of major injuries are possible. But the early start for our draft makes that less likely than usual.

I was certain that Nick had signed Matt Carpenter last season. Guess that was just a bad dream.

Nothing like reading through the dropped list and seeing the irrelevant/retired guys to make yourself feel old

Marc, yeah, I know what you mean about the dropped player list making you feel old. How about this one? On the "added" list this year is the son of the player who is 10th on the DTBL's all-time steals list! (Eric Young)

It's going to be sad next year when I see Jeter on the dropped list.

Man, we are old.

Also, I consider every draft without Casanova to be incomplete.
