A AAA Pitching Log Jam




With the signing on Livan Hernandez, the charted members of the possible AAA pitching roster is starting to spill over on all sides.

Right now, I have the following on the board:

Tobi Stoner
Jon Niese
Bobby Parnell
Freddy Garcia
Nelson Figueroa
Adam Bostick
Eddie Kunz
Rocky Cherry
Carlos Muniz
Darren O'Day
Connor Robertson
Edgar Alfonzo
John Madden
Eddie Camacho
Eric Brown
Casey Fossum
Tom Martin
Sal Aguilar
Brandon Knight
Tim McNab
Joe Hietpas
Jose Sanchez
Livon Hernandez


Whew...

Major league teams have 50-60 players in camp, and eventually they will cut down to 25 players.

Minor League rosters are not set until after the major league roster is set.

Every team has AAA affiliates with an overabundance of potential players.

This is normal and happens every spring.

Hope this helps...

One more thing...

Most major leaguers that sign minor league deals and get spring invites, move on if they dont make the team.

They are not locked into anything.

For example, if Freddy Garcia doesnt make the rotation, he can simply walk away and go sign with another team.
