a friendly reminder, please . . . thanks!

i'm predicting jacob barnes dfa'd, and jay jackson optioned when drew pomeranz reports to the club. the brewers keep burch smith as starting pitching depth on the 40-man behind aaron wilkerson.

it's been reported that black will be optioned by the brewers. a player still needs to be removed from the 40-man, and it likely will be via designating a pitcher for assignment. if the brewers dfa a pitcher on the active roster, they're essentially playing with a 24-man roster tonight. if they dfa an optioned player, that player is off-limits to a minor league affiliate. aaron wilkerson is the scheduled starter tonight for the missions. trey supak and donnie hart are probably safe. jacob barnes or burch smith, probably not as safe.

a player will need to be bumped off the 40-man to make room for one of these two acquisitions. ray black is currently optioned, and will burn his final option this year. drew pomeranz is out of minor league options.

i hope yelich hits a walkoff grand slam on faith night so they can call it christian faith night.

a suggestion to forum members when responding to threads, and also when quoting other members . . . please try to avoid exclusive use of pronouns in your post and/or quote . . . typically his, him, he, their, etc. removed from their original context, it's usually hard for others to determine whom you're referring to. if you're quoting someone, please make sure it's clear whom s/he is referencing. if it's entirely comprised of pronouns, we're all confused. a recent example is found in this post (which is the first post on page 3 of the thread, so it's more difficult to go back to page 2 to find the original discussion.) copied here, it reads: I don't think considering him an injury risk is a stretch at all. He is 34 so that alone throws up some red flags as far as expected injuries. Add in his recent injury history and I think that points to a higher injury risk. i have no idea whom either person is referring to. the posting that would better serve the readers of this forum could look like this instead: I don't think considering A-Ram an injury risk is a stretch at all. He is 34 so that alone throws up some red flags as far as expected injuries. Add in his recent injury history and I think that points to a higher injury risk. note that the quote was edited by replacing "he" with the player's name in parentheses. you're still respecting the integrity of the of the original poster's intent with that editing. this would be much appreciated . . . thanks! being that mlb players and coaches are male, and that the majority of brewerfan.net discussion revolves around these men, i elected not to use female pronouns in my example.
