    How would one resolve a 40 man roster discrepancy between 2 reputable sites such as Roster Resource and MLB.com? A case in point is newly acquired outfielder Ryan Cordell for the White Sox. Roster Resource has him on the 40 man – MLB does not. Is the official 40 man roster for each team publically available, and if so, where does it reside?

      I am biased, but I would trust Roster Resource over anything. For starters, you can just email (mlbdepthcharts@gmail.com) or tweet (@mlbdepthcharts) and I’ll research/fix right away and respond pretty quickly.

      Some things do slip through the cracks at MLB.com, as seems to be the case with Cordell. There are no transactions listed for Cordell on their transaction page since the trade and the White Sox wouldn’t have outrighted him. He’s too good of a prospect and they just traded a good setup man for him. I know he’s hurt so was placed on the 7-Day DL right away, but he should be on their 40-man roster.

    Good lord is Velasquez soft. He’s nothing more than a possible closer type because he sure as hell cannot be a starter. That trade with Houston was considered a huge phillies win, No it’s not !

      It way too early to call it back then. I believe Velasquez will be a very good closer once they finally decide what to do with him. Probably about as good as Giles but definitely a good deal for the stros who needed a closer right away. Mark Appel had been unimpressive since fed being taken #1 in the stros were relieved to just move on from him. Can’t remember who else was involved I believe oberholtzer
