Carr and Greene are the only slight surprises to me, but the former can't stay healthy and the latter hasn't hit much outside of the GCL and will be 22 in April.

Hope these guys can find new homes.

WHAT????????????????????

Probably in refrigerator boxes under a bridge somewhere....

This makes the Nick Carr release a bit of a head-scratcher:

Had to make room for Chris Young.

Rumor has it that he faced Vinny Rottino and Mike Nickeas. So the Mets weren't actually all that impressed.

Hilliard is a nice kid. I hope he makes it somewhere.

Glad I got my Stoner shirt when I had the opportunity. Good luck gentlemen!

OF Javier Rodriguez, RHP Michael Hebert, and RHP Michael Powers have been released.

UPDATE.

Not to take delight in any kid's release, but how about a little mea culpa for the heat I took over the years for saying Hebert was nothing to get worked up over?

JRod was inevitable.

Definitely clearing out the potential Savannah logjam - we've thrown a ton of names out there that have a good claim on A ball (SLU or Savannah) jobs so I expect more moves like this - guys that have no ties to the current regime who have not performed up to snuff since they've been here, regardless of past pedigree, to be cleared out of the bottom of the system.

2 names I wouldn't be shocked to see cut loose before camp breaks: Moviel and Allen.

EDIT: Looking thru some names and trying to figure out potential cuts, knowing that pedigree seemingly will play little role in determining who sticks around.

I think Dock Doyle is suspended so I guess maybe he at least sticks around for now because of the lack of a roster spot that is required to do so?

Could see Eric Campbell released, especially if they plan on pushing Wilmer to AA.

Sam Honeck and Richard Lucas are corner guys who havent hit much at the A ball levels, with plenty of guys down there jockeying for spots (Frenzel, Marte, Ad-Rod, Bonfe, maybe Wilmer, Brian Harrison, etc).

Are any of those Will Cherry, McQueen, Cody Holliday, etc OFers still around?

Pitchers are so tough to predict - probably keep a lot of extras around in XST for now but there are so many bodies.

It happens. Players don't work out. Guys Sandy took last year and "liked" will be out of baseball by this time next year. MJ- to be fair you have an unusual dislike for HS players and love for college players. I don't see many people squawking about Cohoon or Moore, 2 MJ faves lol

Not going to get into another heated battle over this: the fact that Cohoon or Moore, who cost way less and picked way later are even pitching in AA or AAA vs. a guy like this who was a 7th round pick and couldn't make it out of short season ball, or JRod who was a 2nd round pick and couldn't make it out of short season ball, would only serve to prove some sort of point that I'm NOT making about the relative risks of picks like that who aren't any sort of "known" quantities.

The point was strictly on Hebert, who we argued whether or not he was a real prospect at length. I believe the word you used was "emerged", and I took issue with that. I think the whole point was Whitenton vs. Hebert, and after I said that while Whitenton wasn't much of a prospect, he was much more so than Hebert, when the convo went off the rails. My point all along was that there was probably a reason he couldn't hold down a roster spot or meaningful role on teams in his 4 years in the org. The main reason he got the love he did was because he was an overslot.
