Names currently on the IL-60 or IL-FS that you didn't mention: MLB: Mazur, Kempner AAA: Tinoco, McKendry AA: Meachem, Schomberg, Bragg, Vasquez A+: Brink, Maldonado, Austin, Cardenas, Lashutka, Renner A: Benitez, Rodriguez, Shepardson, Shunck FCL: Defrank, both Polanco's, Wilson, Godoy, Jimenez, Montero DSL: Guerrero, De La Rosa, Ortiz, Rodriguez, probably others We only have 4 batters on the IL-FS. Pitchers are pushing their limits more every year. With advancements in technology, everyone now has the recipe to throw harder. It feels like every pitcher that throws 95+ is going to end up on the long term IL at least once every 3-4 years. It's not just TJS either. It's shoulders, core muscles, and leg/hip injuries due to longer strides. If the Marlins could do something to prevent long-term injuries (without sacrificing performance gains), I'm sure they would do it. Minor league starters rarely throw 90 pitches anymore and only start every 6-7 days. Most MiLB teams have gone to a 6-man rotation. Only twice has a Marlins DSL guy pitched over 4 innings and none have completed 5. FCL is about the same. I count only 8 times a pitcher completed 6ip in low-A, and only once did they pitch in the 7th. Four of those QS were by the same guy (Genao). Maybe the answer is to let them pitch more frequently, but less innings? Like throw 60 pitches every 4-5 days instead of 75 pitches every 6-7?

So his name is...Dan Uggla?

I figured it out. Apparently you only count amounts over $150k for rounds 11-20 towards the bonus pool. So we have more money than I thought. If the Sasaki $260k rumor is true, we have $1,374,705 left before we have to forfeit a pick. If Kozeal signs at slot, we would have $595,005 to throw at Lawson (if Sherman is willing to pay the Luxury Tax penalty on the 5% overage). If Sherman wants to remain cheap, we could offer Kozeal $776,600 and Lawson $150k. These 2 negotiations will probably go to the wire. I'm sure we eventually sign Kozeal. Not so sure about Lawson. I'm sure UNC is putting together a package for him.

If you count Sasaki at $260,000 (and all the others are correct), we have to sign Kozeal for $292,205 or we lose our 1st rd pick next year. I've given up all hope on the 20th pick. What am I missing here?

Nice writeup Klaff.
