No big surprises announced as the roster was trimmed further today.  The bullpen really concerns me, as well as the lack of depth in Toledo.  There seems to be some talent (Clay Rapida, Freddy Dolsi) but we won’t know more until they get more innings under their belt in AAA.  It does seem that relievers seem to improve with age, and thats my big hope with Denny Bautista.  At 27, hopefully he can find the strike zone in the regular season this time around.  With the back of the bullpen in disarray… actually with the names in the front of our bullpen… he needs to step up.  Help us Denny Bautista, you’re our only hope.

In other news, San Francisco Cruceta is as absent as a trade partner for Brandon Inge.  Note to foreign-based players:  Performance enhancing drugs + work visas don’t mix.  Either don’t take them, or don’t get caught.
