Complete Indians Roster Move Discussion

Alright there is madness unfolding.


Follow along.. With my Madness
Castrovince has been keeping tabs and If you are keeping score at home...

Lou Marson is the starting catcher, Wyatt Toregas and Chris Gimenez have been optioned to Columbus. Toregas may still be in danger of losing his 40-man roster spot.

Michael Brantley is the starting left fielder, Austin Kearns is the fourth outfielder. Trevor Crowe has been optioned to Columbus. Kearns needs a 40-man roster spot.

Hector Ambriz will be placed on the 15 Day DL, retroactive to March 27th. The Indians can no longer initially use his 40-man roster spot.

Jensen Lewis and Jamey Wright have made the bullpen, Saul Rivera has not and has been optioned to Columbus. Wright needs a 40-man roster spot.

Andy Marte and Mark Grudzielanek have made the roster. Grudzielanek needs a 40-man roster spot.

So here is what we look like at 3:00 PM ET on Wednesday an hour before the White Sox game.

C: Marson
IF: Hafner, LaPorta, Valbuena, Cabrera, Peralta
OF: Brantley, Sizemore, Choo
Bench: Redmond, Kearns, Marte, Grudzielanek

SP: Westbrook, Carmona, Masterson, Talbot, Huff/Carrasco
RP: Perez, Perez, Laffey, Sipp, Smith, Lewis, Wright

Wright, Grundle, Kearns need 40-man spots.

Sowers' waived creates one.

Assume Anderson Hernandez is next and that would probably mean Wyatt Toregas is the logical choice for the other spot.

Phew.. It looks like things are pretty much set then.

I'll use and update this post over the next few days..
