A non-roster designation for minor leaguers for them to get conditioning, pitchers often get placed on it to work on their mechanics.  Have to stay on it for a minimum of 7 days

I'm sure it's a method of allowable roster manipulation.  A few times, though, I've see guys head to AZ for a week for some actual instruction.

Only turns 23 a month from now.

No doubt it’s manipulated but I like the idea of being able to take someone off a roster to work on a specific item(s). The idea of some one on one coaching for a week could really benefit some players.  I don’t know if the rules allow this, but I would be rotating guys through the list all season.

It’s my impression, maybe closer to a fantasy, that it is as you describe.  Also, the Angels swiped at least one former Driveline employee.

And just turned 20 about 2 weeks ago! He's not even an "old" 20.

No pressure there.....

Lots of pressure, but if this team wants to do something it needs to eat pressure like candy. KC and Oakland are awful. I would have said 5-2, but they both suck hard and we are losing winnable games. That needs to end or we’re going to put ourselves out of contention early once again.

Crow is a solid prospect but I really can’t pinpoint what his potential is in the rotation. At the very least I’d say he looks like a very good bullpen piece right now. I want to say he started the season strong last season as well but eventually tired out and slowed down as the season progressed. If he has a strong season all year what would that do for people’s thoughts on his potential?

9 of his 12 strikeouts were swing and misses

We can use as many bullpen pieces as possible. There's nothing wrong with calling these guys up to pitch out of the bullpen for us and then revert them back to a starter like we did Chuck FInley back in the day.
