All Things Bubba: Still no decision

Wednesday, March 26, 2014

The Rockies have not made their final roster decisions yet. Beat writer Troy Renck says Janish is still in the running:

Several combinations possible as #Rockies decide bench, pen. Paul Janish still has chance ot make bench as strong veteran defender

They're supposed to have a meeting after today's game to settle the roster.

Janish is starting at 2B today, and is 1 for 2 with a double so far.

If he doesn't make the cut today, there's nothing he could have done to do so. He's done everything anyone could have asked of him, from leading the Cactus League in hitting to coaching young Josh Rutledge in fielding. However it ends, it's been a terrific spring for Janish.

he hit .400+, had no errors, showed his gold glove/arm, and low cost. When you look at some other signings (Donnie Murphy, for example, 31yrs old, .215 lifetime BA, etc)... it would make sense that he get picked up by a team that is expecting to make the playoffs. I do not believe CR is one of them, so hopefully they let him go so he can play on a contender.. if its not too late...

Still no official announcement, but an anonymous source says Janish has been sent down to the minors.

However, the Rockies roster is so bizarrely constructed I can't believe they're going to keep it that way for more than week or two.

Not sure what this means for Janish over the long haul...
