Pelland and maybe Guevara are about it. I know that I would hate to lose Pelland because we wanted Bruce to play 10 meaningless games.
Sure it would have been nice to watch Bruce as it would have certainly made these games more entertaining, but these things could have negative effects, and they need to be considered. I wouldn't be whining about Bruce not being here if you don't even know the consequences of said move.
Exactly. Perhaps there is another Jared Burton to be found in the rule V draft. It would be nice to have an open 40 man spot for those types of circumstances. Perhaps in the long run the extra available spot won't matter, but as of now, we don't know, and that spot shouldn't be a complete after thought. It could very well become valuable at some point in the near future.But it also gives the reds the roster room to add guys through trades or ML free agency as Coats and Ellison are just placeholders who'll be jettisoned when the year is up.
