I dug around and found a Rochester Democrat and Chronicle article saying that Totten was released to make room for Matt Macri -- but of course, Macri never actually made it to Rochester, so that's unfortunate. <BR/><BR/>Dianna -- you're right that there's a ton of attrition with these guys. Instead of being melancholy, though, I actually think that there's a good side to this story. These players at least got a TASTE of playing at that level. If they couldn't hack it, they couldn't hack it -- but at least they got a shot. Some of them undoubtedly are bitter about the experience, but I hope most of the guys who wash out are thankful for getting the chance.JSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207754797909843134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-16134547997973640582008-06-08T08:58:00.000-06:002008-06-08T08:58:00.000-06:00Jeremy - Heath was released.

Evidently Howie left the game with an abdominal strain so if they DL him today that will give them 2 extra roster spots.<BR/><BR/>Taylor = you forgot #3: Half of the ones that do sign probably won't get out of rookie league ball. It's sad, but it's true. I was looking through photos trying to find some shots of some of the guys that we just go assigned to us, and kept saying "Whatever happened to this guy?" ::sigh:: Melancholy way to spend the afternoon.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102093471979033560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-67124645435517746912008-06-08T08:36:00.000-06:002008-06-08T08:36:00.000-06:00I was just looking at Rochester's roster.

I guess I never read it anywhere, but he's not on their roster and LaVelle says that Rantz is keeping a spot open for Span's return. <BR/><BR/>It's not really a big deal, just wondering what you know.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947536754764141849noreply@blogger.com
