OK a few points

A) What about Schwinny?? Remember his merry go round ended up being him back with us.

B)Where does Alex Pants go? Gotta believe he's in St. Lucie as well. Bullpen I'm assuming.

C) IMO Huchingson is bullpen bound with Goeddel (with his face in one piece) and Peavey rounding out the binghamton rotation.

I've got some changes coming up by the end of this...

Schwinden will be one of many candidates for a AAA slot.

Sadly, I see 'Johnny Pants' being blocked and have him repeating (24 yrs old?) at Savannah.

Hutch will be up soon, though you might be right about the pen too.
