We have 40-man rosters, using 25 guys a week on our "active roster" so it gives you some wiggle room on how to use your spots. I already have Teheran, Lyles, Cosart, Ranaudo, and Moore as pitching prospects (and Chisenhall, Sands, Jennings, Alonso, and Green as hitting prospects), but I figured if Oliver was gonna get called up ahead of most of them, he could be worth a shot, and if he produces, he'd be trade bait or a possible keeper. We have 25 keepers, plus up to 5 more "prospect slots" which can be filled with guys who have less than 200 AB, 10 pitching starts, 40 IP in relief, or 50 IP overall.
I made a bet in 2003 that the Devil Rays would win the 2008 World Series. Oh so close.

If you have to drop 1 of the ten guys you mentioned, I'd suggest considering Lyles. He's pretty much always been projected to being a teams third starter.
