New York Yankees #OSFM

[Gambo]

With the great news about OSFM I figured this was due...

One of my favorite parts of the show each year is figuring out the optimal 90 for the Yankee roster. I always use OSFM as my base.

This is my thought for this year based on the opening day organization set up.

I try to include
All MLB, all AAA, most AA (starting lineup), all Nonroster invites who are still with organization, top 25 of concensus prospects.

Updated roster 4/5/18 - notes are on post on next page.

The Russell Wilson addition is cute, lol.

I wouldn't mind having him in the minors, see who gets to the bigs first - Wilson or Tebow

[Gambo]

I always throw a few guys in the FA as alternates/fantasy. I had to laugh because as of yesterday he’s listed on Trenton’s roster.

Looking forward to your rosters, as always. I always have such a hard time deciding who I should leave out of the 90-man rosters.

I'll be working on my rosters tonight. I like to play with 40-man and real contracts so what I'll likely do is upload some of the guys to the vault.

I'm also gonna update what I have in the top area for changes I made to what I originally posted.

The only tweaks I usually make are adjusting for levels. The default young guys are usually rated based on minimal MLB performance last year so like German and Andujar should be rated as AAA players and not 50-55.

I'm with you, I can't stand seeing guys rated in the 40s and 50s who have already reached the majors. When will you be uploading your roster/CAPs?

LOL I am so sick of hearing about those 2 guys, Tebow was never a good NFL player and never will play in the majors yet for some reason we get so much talk on this guy and I don't get it! the attention on this guy is a joke

Russell Wilson I am come on don't waste a roster spot on this guy in the 90 we only have

If you looked I have him as an possible alternate...which means he goes in the FA pool. Don't use him if you don't want to lol.

Here's where I stand:

I'm using the 40-man real contract roster that's available.

With Asche,Thompson and Camarena added to the team I have 85 players included on the roster who will likely stay. There are 8 guys I am currently in the process of trying to track down because they are in the organization but haven't been assigned to a team yet.

P Brady Lail, 2B Jonathan Diaz, OF Junior Soto, P Chaz Hebert, P Adonis Rosa, 1B Matt Snyder, Devyn Bolanski, C Kellin Deglan.

If I can't verify they where they are they likely will go to FA. Lail, Soto, Hebert and Rosa are likely in Extended Spring. I'm not sure the other 4 are sticking (Side Note: Why are Bolanski and Gosuke Katoh added to these rosters each year?)

I have 31 "MLB" guys due to injuries, 24 "AAA", 17 "AA" and 13 "A". The AAA players not created are P's Josh Rogers, Brody Koerner, Cody Carroll. I'll probably add those guys since my rule of thumb is all AAA players. (I have a Rogers and Carroll from another roster I can use.)

On AA I try to make sure the starting lineup is there and a good portion of the staff. The rest of the AA team (~10 guys) are guys who don't fit on the AAA team (since there a 6 extra MLB) and prospects.

Of the prospects I have noted OF Everson Pereira, Carroll, P Juan DePaula I'd like to get included along with Ps Trevor Lane, Nick Nelson and OF Canaan Smith.

(Obvious issues with the rosters --- Domingo Acevedo and Albert Abreu need tweaks to their potentials.)
