(Out of game note: I am ceding a huge amount of control for the first time. I want the manager/GM dynamic to be real. Not to mention it's clear to me that doing this forces me to look at every aspect of a coach from likes, dislikes to strategy. It does no good giving a manager a ton of talent if they don't use it)
So the roster is cut, these are the 25 guys heading west to Austin for the 1:05 opening day game vs Charlotte. Spring training stats included

ROTATION:

Tom Barrett went 10.1 IP with a 1.74 ERA punching out 15 and walking 5 before he blew out his elbow. Huge loss for the bullpen and the team.

CATCHERS: (all 4 in camp had abysmal springs offensively)
Mike Jensen R (33) 400K .194/.275/.306 1 HR 4 RBI 5 K 4 BB Will hit 6th against LHP and spell Kelly every now and then
Craig Kelly L (26) 169K .156/.325/.188 18 K 7 BB Hoping this was an aberration but history says no. This is a position of dire need up and down the organization. Will hit 6th vs RHP

INFIELDERS:
1B Mark Correa R (26) 169K .259.382/.519 2 HR 6 RBI 14 K 6 BB Will hit 5th vs RHP 4th vs LHP

IF Edgar Pantojas R (32) 270K .230/.288/.443 3 HR 7 RBI 22 K 5 BB hit 8th and play 2B vs RHP
IF Ryan Crabtree S (26) 169K .300/.356/.475 2 HR 6 RBI 10 K 4 BB Will spell Correa at 1B and Orozco at 3B and be a late-inning D replacement at 1B
3B Luis Orozco R (23) 169K .306/.377/.548 3 HR 14 RBI 15 K 6 BB everyday 3B hitting 2nd vs RHP

OUTFIELDERS
LF Dave Green L (28) 4.84m .167/.333/.361 2 HR 3 RBI 13 K 3 BB 1st bat off the bench, backup LF
LF Chris Kardell R (25) 169K .241/.294/.241 7 1B 7 K 3 BB everyday LF hitting 3rd. Our most sought after player in every trade discussion
CF Kazuma Kodama R (27) 169K .316/.361/.474 4 2B 3B HR 2 RBI 3 SB everyday CF
RF Ray Marshall L (27) 169K .262/.360/.405 HR 4 RBI 13 K 6 BB 2 SB backup RF will spell Murphy
RF Robby Murphy L (30) 6.5m .342/.395/.737 4 HR 11 RBI 12 K 4 BB everyday RF and someone I will trade in a heartbeat if I can get ample return. Will hit cleanup vs RHP 5th vs LHP

BACKROOM CHATTER
I have no illusions as to how many wins to expect. I view a .500 season as an astounding success. The most important day of the season will be June 5th, the amateur draft. But before that fans need to be entertained and show up.
I would almost say no player is untouchable but Orozco is as close as that gets.
The payroll is now ranked last in the league at 33.28 million (Philadelphia is #1 at 113m) with projected revenues of 67 million + and an end of the season balance of 10+ million. Both the scouting department and player development have been raised to the league cap of 5.22 million apiece.....
