2016 Player Adds/Drops

Postby Kevin » Sun Feb 28, 2016 9:18 pm

Once again, sorry about being so late getting the draft roster assembled this year. You should have plenty of time to conduct your pre-draft research though. I'm looking to get the draft started somewhere around March 10. Below is my first cut at the list of players who will be added and dropped from the league roster for the upcoming season. If you believe I have missed anyone, or would like to make a case for a player not listed here, feel free to do so. I probably won't finalize the roster until next weekend. There are a couple unsigned free agents who are currently still slated to be part of the league this year, but I will probably replace them if they don't sign in the next week.

Here are the player changes for 2016:

Curt Casali, Welington Castillo, Hank Conger, Caleb Joseph, James McCann, J.R. Murphy, Carlos Perez, Josh Phegley, J.T. Realmuto, Cameron Rupp, Blake Swihart, Stephen Vogt

A few changes to the original post. Several players that I had planned on keeping in the league still remain unsigned free agents. So I am now officially replacing them. They are: Pedro Alvarez, Austin Jackson and Marlon Byrd. To take their places, I'm retaining Mike Napoli at 1B and adding two more outfielders: Alex Guerrero and Aaron Hicks. On the pitching side, it looks like Brett Anderson is going to miss a good portion of the season due to injury, so no point in adding him. I've replaced him with J.A. Happ. Carter Capps has an appointment with Dr. Andrews in the next couple days. If it turns out he will miss the season (or a significant portion of it), I will also replace him. But for now, he remains.

I intend to have the full draft roster available on the site later today.

EDIT: And hours after I posted this, Jackson signed with the White Sox. So he's back in instead of Guerrero.

The signings and major injuries keep coming, so I have three more changes to make. With the draft just two days away now though, this will be the final update to the draft pool.

As expected, Carter Capps will undergo Tommy John surgery, so he's out. Instead of adding him to the league, I will retain Addison Reed for another season. Another to-be newcomer, outfielder Aaron Altherr will miss a majority of the season as well, so he will be removed. Taking his place will be Andre Ethier. I know Alex Guerrero had been my Dodgers outfielder choice a few days ago, but Ethier appears to have a much clearer path to regular playing time. So he's back in the league. Finally, Pedro Alvarez signed with the Orioles yesterday. I think he has enough upside that he should be retained too, so Mike Napoli goes back to the drop list.

That's it. Now you can print your draft list! (Does anybody still do that these days?)
