Vargas isn't really a long reliever. Only twice in about 30 appearances for the Brewers he pitched 2 innings.

Parra should be listed as in the rotation with Suppan in the long relief role therefore bumping Narveson off of the 25 man roster.

you put a 9 next to escobar rather than an 8

Re: Escobar batting 9th

I did that because of the talk earlier in the spring about batting the pitcher 8th. I'm not sure if that's still a consideration but I'll change it back to '8' so there isn't any confusion. Thanks!
