[IBL] Crabs that could have been

[Doug Palmer]

A recent email discussion on "what might have been" got me to thinking
about Sand Crabs who are currently prospering in the world as something
other than Sand Crabs.  Got me to thinking and I made a roster of Crabs
that are currently playing the majors that could have still been on my
roster if not for trades/waivers.  The team isn't that bad (which sucks
because you really don't want to have players prosper once they leave)

Sand Crab Could've Beens

Catcher: Hank Conger (the Crabs have never really had a good catcher)
1st base: Adam Lind
2nd base: DJ LeMahieu
Shortstop: Danny Espinosa
3rd base: Josh Harrison
Leftfield: Brandon Guyer
Centerfield: Michael Brantley
Rightfield: Alex Rios

Starting pitching: (aside from Keuchel, no big losses here)
Alfredo Simon
Luke Hochevar
Dallas Keuchel

Relievers:
Joba Chamberlain
Tommy Hunter (the 1 day Crab!)
Jim Johnson
Jeremy Affeldt

Bench:
Luis Valbuena
Chris Parmelee
David DeJesus
BJ Upton
Darwin Barney
Daniel Nava

All in all, not a great team!  Which I guess is what I wanted to see!
Although, there will days when I lament letting Brantley go!
