Guess we didn't get the full release list. Odd. Wonder what the story behind that is.

He got released pretty clearly. What's odd about it?

Changing the topic a bit but does anyone have the extended spring training schedule and roster?

Changing the topic a bit but does anyone have the extended spring training schedule and roster? Neither is a thing that is released publicly. FWIW, the XST roster is literally just everyone who isn't with an affiliate.

I was really rooting for this kid, it was a great story. I wish him all the best.

Looks like the Sox add another Josh Smith to their minor league roster. Not sure why - it seems like they have a few of these relief guys at Pawtucket already. Sox sign Josh Smith

Will take some time to figure out Josh Alexander Smith vs. Josh Alejandro Smith.

This will be much more of a photo keyword problem than the two Chris Youngs.

We've had that projection for a few months now (final tip-off was when he was the only healthy position player not listed on those XST opening day lineup cards that got posted on IG), and we'd wondered if they'd do it for some time. Clearly wasn't happening at the plate and he showed a plus arm in the outfield dating back a few ST's.
I can add that at least one member of the player dev staff who works on the pitching side, when I asked him about it, said he kept hoping they'd get him on that side of things.

www.milb.com/lowell/news/spinners-announce-initial-roster/c-280970468An outfield of Tyler Esplin, Cole Brannen, and Tyler Dearden? Yes please. Rotation is shaky and the infield isn’t going to scare anyone, but that’s a young outfield with a lot of potential. And that doesn’t even include Granberg, who I think is going to mash in the low minors at least.

Don't sleep on Andre Colon. Liked what I saw from him in camp.

It's early, but it'll be interesting to see how they are going to rotate Casas, Northcut and Howlett around as they rise through the system.

Why was he released when hitting .294. Not complaining, but why?

In last year's OOTP game I traded for Kyle Wren, mostly because I wanted to change his nickname to Kylo. He ended up winning the rookie of the year and having a pretty darn nice career.
Here's to hoping.
