Managers may trade draft picks for the next free agent draft only.  As soon as the free agent draft begins, picks for the subsequent draft may be traded.  A manager may trade as many of his draft picks as he wishes, but must have at least six draft picks at all times, two of which must be in the fourth round or earlier.

“Completely Illegal”: Social Media Is Accusing The New York Yankees Of Blatantly “Cheating”

After Hitting 8 Homers With Their Controversial New Bats During 20-9 Blowout Win Over Brewers
































HIP HIP HERRERA !!!

On Wednesday Cardinals' catcher and Mitts' 2nd round draft pick Ivan Herrera clouted three HRs.  Don't know whether he's into torpedo bats but three dingers are three bombs either way.



Even with the injury to Francisco Alvarez the Mitts' catching corps of Herrera and Hunter Goodwin are off to fine starts.  The catcher who remains unsigned and who might just retire is Yasmani Grandal but he was brought aboard to cover one or more blocks when Herrera isn't around to face RH'd pitching.

webmaster note: without an injury or prolonged Winker
slump I can't see Singleton getting to CitiField and logging big at bats.

What happened to Jonathan India after being

 hit by a pitch from Guardians’ Emmanuel Clase?






INDIA ADDS TO HIS RESUME

Having drafted and used Jonathan India on my SBA team I was very familiar with his position status.  He has been a starting 2Bman in his career - a bad one defensively - but that was his only posting to the best of my recollection.

In viewing the KC Royals' boxscore  on Sunday I noticed that India started the game in LF  (whoa, really?) and later in the game he was moved to the infield - at 3B. So he may have played two brand new (for him) positions in the same game.

Does this mean that the Royals plan to use him as a roving starting player shuttling between the infield and outfield as needed?  I'd be OK with that but fear that his next card might read something like 2B-4, 3B-5, LF 5(+3).  Yuck







LOOK WHO's FIRST STRING

When the Mitts took Hunter Goodman in round 3 of the waiver draft it was because he had won the "backup" catching job for Colorado in the spring games.  Then we were pleasantly surprised to see him start the first two games of the season.

Apparently the Goodman is a good enough man to be the #1 catcher for the Rockies.  Here's what I saw today in Roster Resource.
