Thanks Wolf. It's always interesting to know where the players are in the grand scheme of things.

This will be shifting around a lot in the coming days, as the free agents and options depart, and we sign out team control/arbitration players. I'll try to keep everyone updated.

Already two changes to be made. Embree and Torrealba had their options bought out and declined, and are now free agents, leaving the only remaining player with an option to be Rafael Betancourt.

Mike McCoy is no longer on the Rox roster. He was picked up by another team, I forget who.

I made a post about that already. See below. I haven't updated this list since it has happened. Paul Phillips is also gone.

Betancourt is no longer under contract option category (option declined today). The Rox better resign Betancourt; but I won't beat myself up if he's gone when we would get the whomever signs him 1st or 2nd round draft pick and an extra pick between 1st and 2nd round. Not a bad compensation for letting him go although it would hurt in the short run, but great for the long run.

Rckymtnhigh, I am unable to edit the post and have to create a new one each time a reply is made to the post (frustrating system MLB.com uses for that). I follow the transactions wire closely, so you don't have to feel obligated to let me know what has happened each time in this thread as it forces me to copy and paste the update each time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I will be updating with a new post now. Juan Rincon has also filed for free agency.
