AFL roster changes

Just thought I'd let you guys know that Joaquin Arias is now out of the AFL altogether. He's still nursing his shoulder and isn't quite ready to play in games.

Taking his place on the roster will be Elvis Andrus, who joins the taxi squad, meaning he can technically only be activated twice per week.

Chris Davis and German Duran are no longer on the taxi squad -- they're now full timers.

Also, in case you didn't hear from a few days ago, Scott Feldman replaced Josh Rupe. It wasn't necessarily because of an injury setback with Rupe, they just didn't feel he needed to re-fire up the arm after taking nearly a month off.

Huh
This Arias shoulder thing is...strange...

I have to wonder if there aren't going to be questions about desire/toughness, given that an injury that was supposed to keep him out for not that long has resulted in him being on the shelf all year, and now unable to play in the AFL.

Frustrating
to say the least.

Arias
it's worse than Otsuka's injury, it just never ends.  I cry when I imagine what might have been in the trade market if Otsuka had been available for another deal similar to, but probably a little less fruitful than, the Gagne deal.  Or how Arias might have been a sweetener for some team if he had been going well.

I think Arias has the same
burning desire to play baseball that John Connaly Barnett had.
