Three Guys I Want On the Roster
2009-09-04 05:59:00 As simple as I can say it, I shall. Here are three guys I want on the Bears roster.Johnny Knox A rare species of wide receiver who reminds me a lot of a raw Santana Moss. Knox's athletic ability, specifically in the return game, can be an asset from day one.Matt ToeainaI know that Jarron Gilbert and Henry Melton are the kinds of players Lovie will try to mold into a prototypical cover-2 linemen but I don't care. Toeaina plays with guts and heart and keeps blockers off the elite linebacking corps.Devin AromashoduI am ready to err on the side of Jay Cutler when it comes to every single decision made on offense. Aromashodu clearly has a solid relationship with...
Projecting The Roster: Defense
2009-08-25 09:24:00 You know why I love this site and you guys? Because yesterday we argued the merits of carrying either a second fullback (Jason Davis) or a fullback/tight end hybrid (Michael Gaines). Let's see what we can cook up today. Again, we're assuming the Bears repeat the 25/25 breakdown of 2008.DEFENSIVE LINE (Last year: 9)This year: Tommie, Adams, Izzy, Harrison, Ogunleye, Brown, Anderson, Gilbert, MeltonNote: I know the consensus thought is the Bears will take Matt Toeaina after Dusty Dvoracek confirms that he's not going to play this season. I just have the feeling that Jerry and Lovie will have a hard time letting Henry Melton go. Matt Toeaina spent time on the practice squad a year ago without being picked...

2009-08-05 15:04:00 With Aaron Miles set to be recalled later today after a rehab stint in the minors GM Jim Hendry will need to make a roster move to make room for Miles. This one seems easy with Sam Fuld expected to be sent back to Iowa. However, there are a series of other moves and decisions that are right around the corner for the Cubs. First, Geovany Soto is expected to return to the roster on Friday. Who gets sent down to clear a roster spot for him? Reed Johnson will be ready to return in a couple of weeks so who goes to make room for him? Also, Ted Lilly will be ready to return in a couple of weeks...
Jim Hendry Worked the Phones but He's Happy With His Roster
2009-08-01 00:01:00 Cubs GM Jim Hendry spent all day Friday discussing possible scenarios with other General Managers but in the end the price to add a bench player was too high to part with solid prospects from the Cubs rapidly improving system.Sam Fuld will be officially recalled from Class AAA in time for tonight's game and will take Reed Johnson's place in the outfield rotation. Tom Gorzelanny is meeting the team in Florida where he will throw for Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild. He is on the Class AAA Iowa roster but should the need arise he could start Tuesday against the Reds in Cincinnati.Down on the Farm....A major league scout who I have known for several years regularly covers the minor...
Top Ten Bears Wide Receivers on the Training Camp Roster
2009-07-21 09:00:00 Last week Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver made some disparaging comments about the Chicago Bears wide receiving corps that added even more fuel to the fire that is the best rivalry in sports. He said Chicago, "[doesn't] have the receiver group...you're going to need receivers to make plays down the field, and they don't have that right now."Fans were pretty riled up over the comments, but then again, doesn't the truth hurt sometimes? The Bears brass steadfastly maintains the belief that their current receiving corps is strong enough to compete in a much improved NFC North, so we decided to take a look for ourselves. 10.

2009 Roster Projection Part 2
2008-12-16 01:23:00 Towards the end of November, I gave my first line-up prediction of the off-season and now it's going to be a little bit easier as things look like they are rounding into shape, at least as far as the Giants management is concerned. I still see this team with a major hole at whatever corner position Pablo Sandoval doesn't fill. They also have a hole in their starting staff where it looks like Noah Lowry cannot be counted on to be ready for the season, thus has prompted talks of Randy Johnson joining the squad for a year. I still think the Giants, although they say they are pretty much set, have a few things up their sleeve (for better or worse) and I could now see a Giants' roster lining up like this come April.Signings: 3B Joe Crede (1 year, $6.5 million w/incentives and option year), IF Ty Wigginton (2 years, $12 million), LHP Randy Johnson (1 year, $8.5 million+incentives)Lineup-LF Fred Lewis2B Ty Wigginton (I could see Sabean having interest in Wigg's power: 23 hr' in 386 AB...

2009 Roster in the Making
2008-09-24 00:16:00 Yes, there are still a handful of games to be played before the 2008 regular season officially comes to an end, but the Giants have used this year to access some of their younger talent which has allowed them to begin to shape their 2009 squad before we enter the winter. Pablo Sandoval and Travis Ishikawa are two guys who have proved over the last 6 weeks that they will need regular playing time next season, the only question is how to work them into the lineup. I wouldn't look for the Giants to trade Bengie Molina this off-season, so a full on platoon of Sandoval and Ishikawa could be what's in store in 2009. First base has been a revolving door for the team since J.T. Snow left and the two rookies could finally solidify that spot. With the Giants' track record, or lack there of, it's tough to get too excited over their young talent, but these guys look the part. So far, in 215 at-bats between them, Ishikawa and Sandoval are hitting a combined .320 with 6 home runs and 36 RBI. ...

Roster Overhaul Underway
2008-08-16 01:57:00 The Giants called up a few of their best minor league players earlier this week, in a move that shows they are indeed ready to look towards the future. Pablo Sandoval, Travis Ishikawa and Ryan Rohlinger were all brought up prior to the Houston series, and although the Giants looked bad in the series, it was good to see the Giants finally shift gears. I just talked pretty in-depth about Pablo Sandoval and Travis Ishikawa a few posts back in the minor league report and mentioned how both were on the verge of being called up. With Bowker out of the picture, Ishikawa should get the bulk of the at-bats at first with Sandoval getting time both behind the plate and at first base. Rohlinger spent time in both Connecticut and Fresno this year and though he wasn't really tearing the cover off the ball in the minors, he has swung a steady bat all season, and really had a decent spring training before the season which put some eyes on him early. He looks to get the majority of the time at thir...
Percival Return Will Cause Roster Crunch
2008-06-09 10:03:00 MLB.com's Bill Chastain writes of an impending Rays roster crunch. Closer Troy Percival can come off the DL Friday. Percival's replacement, Grant Balfour, doesn't deserve a demotion. He's out of options, and the Rays would have to sneak him through waivers to get him back to Triple A. Balfour did clear waivers in April. Given his situation and success this year, perhaps we can add Balfour to our Reliever Market list. The Rays acquired Balfour from the Brewers for Seth McClung last July. He's endured all kinds of injury problems but seems on track in '08. DRays Bay suggests keeping Balfour and either cutting Gary Glover or trading Jason Hammel.

State of the Bills Roster: The Recap
2008-06-05 01:25:00 Bills RB Fred Jackson (Photo Source) For nearly three weeks now, we have spent much of our time breaking down the Buffalo Bills' current personnel in our "State of the Roster" series. We, the Buffalo Rumblings community, have had some very intricate discussions about nearly every current Bill on the roster; I hope you've found the discussions as helpful in analyzing the roster changes post off-season as I have.

Why is Casanova on the roster
2008-06-03 02:07:00 I have nothing against Raul Casanova, but it's a waste of a roster spot to have a guy who is strictly a pinch hitter. There is no need for three catchers, none of them play a second position and all are very slow on the base path. Willie isn't using Castro as an early game pinch hitter and late in games if either Casanova or Castro get in scoring position a pinch runner is used. Casanova is a third catcher who should be in New Orleans waiting for a call-up when one of the full time catchers go on the DL. Both Tatis and Easley have practiced catching and are considered the emergency catchers which would get you by until the next day when Casanova could catch-up to the club.....The Mets need to fill the spot with an outfielder, Tatis and Easley can get plenty of playing time between Castillo knees and Delgado's bat. The only true back-up outfielder is Endy Chavez, Nick Evans has speed but is another infielder trying to play out of position and his bat isn't ready for this level ye...

John Clayton: Without Cap Redskins Could Be in Roster Depth Hell
2008-05-29 17:55:00 [Note by Skin Patrol, 05/29/08 1:28 PM EDT ] Promoted, enjoy. Edited very little. Thanks once more to CptChaosSidekick. John Clayton wrote an article on five of the best -- and five of the worst teams to be affected if there was no salary cap in 2010. The Redskins come in at # 5 on the teams sure to suck list. The Redskins are in great shape for the next two seasons, but 2010 could be tough. Eleven of their 22 starters are in their 30s, including five starters on the offensive line. Age is also creeping up on their defense. Cornerback Shawn Springs is 33. Linebacker Marcus Washington is 30. Defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin is 31. Linebacker London Fletcher is 33. Defensive end Phillip Daniels is 35. He goes on to say that finding replacements for older starters becomes harder and harder as teams will be trying to lock up future free agents much earlier than in years past. When the COB was unanimisly opted out by the owners, the Cowboys owner wasted no time in re-signing C...

One roster spot cleared: Robertson retires
2008-05-28 17:45:00 Remember a couple of days ago when we all pondered who would be cut to make room for the 4 remaining unsigned draft picks? Well the Dolphins have cleared one of the needed roster spots, at least according to the Palm Beach Post. They are reporting that undrafted free agent Kory Robertson will be placed on injured reserve, ending his rookie season before it even starts. The injury is unknown at this point, but Robertson was thought to be in a position to earn a spot on the 53 man roster because of his size (6'4, 345). Now, though, this might actually benefit Paul Soliai, as he has one less body to compete with as a backup nose tackle. This move might also mean that one of the unsigned rookies could be signed in the near future. We shall find out soon enough. [UPDATE] The Palm Beach Post has updated this story. Apparently, Robertson isn't being placed on the IR. Instead, he's decided football isn't what he wants to do and he has announced ...

2008 Jacksonville Jaguars Roster Breakdown: The Wide Receivers
2008-05-20 12:00:00 In recent years the Jacksonville Jaguars have faced a "yeah, but" problem with their offense. The solid running game, the productive line play, even with the quarterback problems, the sore thumb of the Jaguars offense is the Wide Receiving Corps. Despite having two first round draft picks in Reggie Williams and Matt Jones, the Jaguars have not yet found the heir apparant to Jimmy Smith, and even throughout the outstanding 2007 season lacked the receiver that guaranteed a double team and that would strike fear into defensive game planning. While the Jaguars went through an offensive explosion last season, there are still question marks surrounding the receivers. Will Reggie Williams repeat his 10 touchdown and 600 yards or was those merely outliers? Will Matt Jones wake up or stay in Jack Del Rio's doghouse? The offseason only added to those questions as the Jaguars charted an aggressive course to surround quarterback David Garrard with as many weapons...

2008-05-14 17:00:00 Lynch remains focal point of Buffalo's offense (Photo Source) Prior to the 2008 NFL Draft - in fact, prior to the free agent signing period of this past March - we took a look at the Buffalo Bills' roster position by position, breaking down then-current personnel, finding holes, and building our community needs list. Now that free agency and the Draft have been completed, and the Bills have infused their roster with new talent, it's time to repeat our process. Where has Buffalo gotten better? Where have they gotten worse? How will additions impact which Bills veterans remain on the roster? These are questions that we'll attempt to answer over the next week or so. We continue those discussions today with an examination of Buffalo's stable of running backs. To view our previous discussions on Buffalo's RB situation (pre-off-season), bang it here. Marshawn Lynch: Here's hoping that Buffalo's prize 2007 rookie spent his off-season accomplishing the ...
State of the Roster II: Bills Quarterbacks
2008-05-13 21:07:00 Edwards enters Year 2 with starting experience (Photo Source) Prior to the 2008 NFL Draft - in fact, prior to the free agent signing period of this past March - we took a look at the Buffalo Bills' roster position by position, breaking down then-current personnel, finding holes, and building our community needs list. Now that free agency and the Draft have been completed, and the Bills have infused their roster with new talent, it's time to repeat our process. Where has Buffalo gotten better? Where have they gotten worse? How will additions impact which Bills veterans remain on the roster? These are questions that we'll attempt to answer over the next week or so. We'll start the positional discussions off today by looking, of course, at Buffalo's quarterback situation. To see our previous discussion on Buffalo's quarterbacks, bang it here. Trent Edwards: Buffalo's second-year starting quarterback has a lot of pressure on his shoulders. We a...

2008 Jacksonville Jaguars: Historical Roster Breakdown
2008-05-12 18:00:00 The Jacksonville Jaguars offseason training activities start this week and with that begins the battle for positioning toward the final roster. The NFL only allows 53 players on the final roster and an eight man practice squad. I thought it might be interesting as be begin our position by position breakdown to look back at how many players we carry on our roster for each role. Teams are required to have their roster at specific levels through training camp. Because NFL Europa ceases to exist, teams have a hard cap of eighty players under contract. On August 26th, the roster must be cut down to 75 players. The final cut date is August 30th where the roster may only have 53 players. Tracking roster sizes for each position is actually fairly complicated. Players that are multi-functional, particularly on the offensive line, can throw off a count. For the purposes of this analysis, I will treat all offensive linemen together. Cornerbacks a...
A (Very Early) Look at Buffalo's 2008 Roster
2008-05-12 15:58:00 What's more fun on a Monday morning in May - from a football perspective, at least - than attempting to predict which 53 players from your favorite team will be lining up in front of your eyes this coming fall? That's exactly what we'll do this morning. With position-by-position breakdowns of the Buffalo Bills' 2008 roster just around the corner, I thought it would be prudent to take a look at the overall picture first, then break it down in the coming days. So this is how I see the 2008 roster shaking out. Keep in mind that in the grand scheme of things, this exercise means very little; it is a topic that should, at the very least, bring about some interesting philosophical discussions, however. Here's the positional breakdown. We'll avoid doing this depth chart style for now since, ultimately, I was playing a numbers game here. (It's not hard to figure out the depth chart, however.) Feel free to offer your own alternatives, pick apart my ...

Roster Turnover: Who's next to go?
2008-05-09 06:15:00 As it stands right now, the Dolphins currently have 83 players on their roster. The limit to enter training camp in July is 80. I would expect the next round of cuts to come following the next mini-camp, which is a voluntary mini-camp scheduled for May 23 and lasting through the 25. But who might be next to go? And I'm not talking about the undrafted free agents here. To my count, there are 15 undrafted free agents currently under contract by the Dolphins. Those 15 I'm excluding from this talk because they are, after all, undrafted players. So their expectations are far lower. And here's another interesting stat to just ponder. Of the 83 players currently under contract by the Dolphins, 45 of them were signed, drafted, or traded by this new regime during this off-season. That means that 54% of the roster right now was brought in by Bill Parcells and company. If you take away the 15 undrafted free agents, you're then talking a...
