According to reports from Baseball America and other outlets the minor league systems on the stateside part of the equation will be capped at 190 “offseason” spots and further reduced to 180 during the “season”.
However with the 2021 minor league seasons expected to be delayed due to Covid it’s still to be determined when the “in season” portion of the new limitations kick in and how ... the minor leagues are expected to have staggered starts by level of play and complex level teams might not be in “official “ leagues in 2021 ... e.g. the Cardinals and Tigers have already released minor league coaching staff names and refer to their complex staffs as just that or as “extended spring training”. Not sure if roster exceptions are to be made to the number of players that can be assigned to the complex ( since they wouldn’t officially be in a league “season”) or for those on the injured lists that are at the complexes on rehab assignments.
With Spring Training on it’s way I thought I’d take an inventory of the Phillies anticipated stateside minor leaguer depth. Today we list out the pitchers ... keep in mind this doesn’t include Dominican Republic Academy based players, they don’t count towards the cap limit.
Here’s the current stateside minor league roster tally by my count ... I’ve excluded players who are on the 40 man roster although at some point when the “season” starts 14 of those players ( assuming active MLB rosters aren’t expanded for 2021 beyond 26 ) will take slots in the minor leagues and would count against the allotment of in season roster positions.
Catchers - 20 - average age - 21.6
Infielders - 34 - average age - 22.3
Outfielders - 19 - average age - 22.1
LHP - 36 - average age - 22.4
RHP - 80 - average age - 22.4
........................
Total : 189
Average Age : 22.3
Oldest : 34
Youngest : 18
..................................................
Note : I’ve included in my numbers above and the supporting lists of stateside roster assumptions players who have yet to actually play stateside ( other than Fall Instructs ) from the Dominican Academy that I believe would come to Clearwater under normal circumstances. However given the Pandemic and the reported new roster caps some or all of those players may remain based in the Dominican. At the least there’s no urgency to bring these fellas stateside given the expected delay in the start of the minor league season, it also opens up roster spots for minor league free agent contractual invites to big league Spring Training Camp.
Here’s are the adjusted stateside totals if all of these players remain in the Dominican.
Catchers - 18
Infielders - 31
Outfielders - 17
LHP - 35
RHP - 76
........................
Total : 177
Average Age : 22.7
Oldest : 34
Youngest : 18
The 12 players who would remain in the Dominican to get to the above reduced totals are :
Catchers : Victor Diaz and Edward Barboza - both 19 years old
Infielders : Oscar Gonzalez (20), Juan Herrera (21) & Alexis Azuaje (18)
Outfielders : Raymond Mora ( 20 ) & Jefferson Encarnacion (19)
RHP : Carlo Reyes and Camillo Brazoban - both 22 years old &
Cristian Hernandez (20 ), Manuel Urias ( 19 )
LHP : Christopher Soriano - 19 years old
