Yeah, I'm really bummed some of these guys skipped Lynchburg because of the switch between low-A and high-A...I could have seen them at two locales.

15 pitchers on each team. How are they all going to get enough innings?

There's 5-8 innings available for every time Logan Allen starts.

Too much young talent at 1B coming through the lower levels to keep someone like Reeves around. Writing was on the wall for a lot of the older guys when the season was lost. Youth almost always wins out.

Will Bartlett and Jhonkensy Noel in the same lineup will be a lot of fun to watch.

It's going to take a minute for me to get used to the Lynchburg/Lake County swap

Baseball adjusted the roster limits for all the minor league teams so each squad is able to carry a couple extra players (normally pitchers).

Due to the lack of 2020 season, there will likely be a lot of piggybacks for each rotation so arms are not overly stressed/ injured.

Is C Mike Rivera injured again? I thought he'd join Naylor in Akron. Rolette was the one I thought getting cut.

Also, don't see RHP Eichhorn on any projected roster. Any info on him, Bimbo?

He's on the taxi squad, right?

That’s Rene Rivera.

Rene (37 yr old vet) & Mike are different guys....

 

[Criznit]

Any reason why Hankins isn't listed on any of these rosters? Surly they won't be starting him in AAA....

More info from Indians Prospective Twitter:

Injury update #Indians 24yr old RHP Cody Morris is currently working through progression of a throwing program. Morris sustained a "lat strain" during MLB spring training. He is hoping to only miss the 1st month or so of the MiLB season.

I thought I saw a reference to either Espino or Hankins yesterday.. I'm digging for that & will post what I find.

EDIT:
In response to a question, IndiansPro responded as follows:
(Hankins is) Still in Goodyear. Not on a initial travel roster out of spring training yet.
