Thursday Tidbits: Roster Depth Pt. 1

Related Topics: Corbin Carroll

We may still be 20 days away from Opening Day in Tokyo, but today marked our first competitive baseball action since the World Series concluded last October. I will happily admit that I’m starved enough for baseball that I tuned into today’s game between the Cubs and Dodgers - at least long enough to see the small villages that crowded both dugouts. Sure, the game results don’t matter for standings, but the in-game results absolutely matter for individual players. As we discussed last week, while there are obviously plenty of players whose roster spots are virtually guaranteed, there are plenty of players who are quite literally playing for their jobs.
