you do a good job, as far as i can tell.
caveat: i often trip after receiving a
compliment.
i refer to your lineups often.

Are you not going to do minor league pages for the NL Central?

Haven't found the time, although it's near the top of my agenda now. Just couldn't get much done today because of the 20+ roster moves.

You can switch Arredondo and Ondrusek now.

Do you see any DL time for Phillips because of his nagging calf?

Masset is done for the year.

Just saw that. Thanks!

Kris Negron was called up on August 31st (not to report) and subsequently was placed on the DL. This allows the Reds to replace him on the playoff roster with any other position player who wasn't called up prior to September 1st if they choose to do so (that player will have to be added to the 40 man prior to playing if not already on it).

He'll benefit somewhat by collecting major league service time the rest of the year.

^That move right there will allow them to play Mesoraco in the playoffs since he wasn't on the pre September 1st roster.

Thanks! Must've missed that news, if it was even reported at all.
