Alex Anthopoulos

If there were no limits and it's a straight 26 man, I think very doable because you could just go short from a position player standpoint, especially with we have a lot of guys that play every day.

So I'd love to be able to do it.

And I just don't know...

how realistic it is to be able to do it over the course of a season.

And that's why you've seen us.

The alternative is to try to put in spot starters.

And that's been our best attempt to do it and still be able to maintain a roster and all that kind of stuff.

Any other questions for Alex on tonight's moves?

Yeah, just someone that he was DFA'd.

A lot of these deals you normally would claim guys on waivers and so on.

He has options.

The numbers at the big league level, obviously, they weren't good.

I'm stating the obvious there.

The numbers in the minor leagues, in a tough league, in the Pacific Coast League, were pretty good.

They're swing and miss.

Former top pick.

Again, you have guys, just for the reasons we talked about, guys with options.

We had moments last year when you're limited to five where we would have optioned someone down four times, and now you're saying, well, if we call this guy up again, we've only got one option left, and they're an out-of-option player.

So...

You run out of options.
