Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Non-Roster Invites v.2

Per RMN's suggestion I am reposting this discussion here from the FanShot I posted the other day.  Couple of good comments on Matzek being a NRI on the FS already. 

 

Just thought I'd start a Shot to discuss NRI. The only ones I'm aware of right now are Juan Rincon and Paul Phillips. I'm sure DOD will keep true to form and bring in a handful of pitchers to compete for that 5th spot too. As for which prospects could be invited, I presume that Rosario and Davis will be invited to help fill out the need for catchers. As far as pitchers, I think Friedrich and Weathers will be there and Brothers and Matzek are possibilities. May not be many hitters, though I could see Holcomb, who I think was down in the AFL be invited. I might be forgetting a couple others that were down in Arizona. Anyone know the date for C&P to report?? I can barely contain the excitement for 2010!




Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

can not come soon enough, at least the broncos season is over so I don’t have to keep hearing people beat dead horses.

If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there is a man on base.

Yeah, over the last 10 weeks PETA has been increasingly concerned with the NFL

They are complaining that the league is abusing Lions, Rams and Broncos on a weekly basis…

3 out of 4 sounds so much better than 2 out of 3...

I have a question...

What does everyone think of Dan Ortmeier? The main reason I ask is because I played HS baseball with him at Lewisville High School in Lewisville, Texas and think its pretty cool that someone I played with has made it, at least at some points to the bigs. I was very excited when the Rox picked him up from San Fran and have watched him play several times here in the Springs. Look forward to your thoughts.

The "Big Bang" was actually a Will Muschamp chestbump......with the Earth!

feh, AAAA player

could be decent depth in the corners.

Mostly a singles or at best a gap hitter, has triples speed but not really SB potential

it’d take a series of injuries to a team like Colorado for him to see the majors.

at least now there's a reason to root for Toronto

seeming how the former A West great left the great white north
