Josh,
As always, we're very hesitant to say who will 'for sure' be on the team or not. The truth is, you never know - sometimes guys come to camp hurt or out of shape or even just decide not to play. On the other hand, guys who seem to have little chance sometimes come through and kick butt. For instance, we had cut Nick Gontmaher last season in camp, and he came back to us 2 weeks into the season and turned out to be the best CF in the league.
We did draft two players in last year's camp too, and neither made it past the first week of the season, so being drafted is never a sure thing - the player still has to produce.
So, on April 4, it's not a good idea to project these things.
We can say that we are done signing players, save for the pitcher we picked up from River City (Adam Sokoll) yesterday in a trade for future considerations. We are only allowed to bring a certain number to camp, and for practical purposes, more than that gets too much to manage anyway - the players wouldn't get a fair look.
Mike Moore has a good idea of what spots need to be filled yet, and we're looking for one player there, and of course we have the tryout camp on May 3.
A lot of wordage there, but the bottom line is that while we can sit here and think we might know who will be on the team, you never know until they get to camp.
Thanks for the interest!
Chuck
