There would be no reason to force a team with 14 prospects to cut down to 12, just to draft two more to get back to 14. It's the same as last year: 12 through to the offseason, then unlimited rosters, then flexibility for the March cutdown.
Makes sense. I think I'll probably just keep him. I might be overly optimistic, but I think I can make the jump to contender for back-end playoff spot next year if I can find a couple of starters in the offseason.
No, there's a 12-prospect limit from the cut down date until the offseason.
July prospect cut down: 12 prospect limit
offseason - no roster limits
pre-season cut: can protect 32 total players, 10-14 of which can be prospects
post-cut to July prospect cutdown: 14 prospect limit
Yup. I think there`s more value in having MLB roster spots available for prospecting on MLB breakout talent than in having them tied up on borderline top-50 prospects with NA status. Kingery would be a True Cardinal now if he were farm eligible.
It makes me upset that he's getting any degree of vindication for saying guys like Rajai Davis and Andrew Cashner were better dynasty assets than Cotton in the offseason.
I think that's probably a year away. Tall guys like that often take awhile to figure it out. They're going to wait as long as possible to make a permanent decision on a guy with his stuff and dominant results at every level but MLB.
Apparently Glasnow has pitched entirely from the stretch in his three AAA starts. That probably makes sense given that he's tall and super lanky and needs to find consistency in his delivery. On one hand, he's still walking 5/9. On the other, he's striking out 15.5/9 with a 1.50 ERA and 2.34 xFIP.
