This article indicates both Marisnick and Tucker will make the 25-man roster.

Hinch, speaking about Aplin being cut (bold mine), "We don't have a ton of outfielders on the [40-man] roster outside of the five that are on our team."

I think that is a bit of a stretch.  I don't think they know for sure if they plan to break camp with 4 or 5 outfielders.

White draws his second walk.  Didn't hear the first one.  Second one quickly went 3-0, he took one down the middle and then drew the walk.

Got caught stealing though.  Recognized a ball in the dirt, but the catcher blocked it well and he was hung out to dry.

The manager doesn't know?

A McTag tweet today has Hinch saying it's likely they'll only carry 12 pitchers to start the season.  If so then 5 outfielders makes sense.  And only one of White, Duffy, Singleton, and Reid make the team.

Interesting given their April schedule.

No, i was referring to the mention of 5 outfielders on the team and assuming that means those 5 are going to be on the 25 man on April 4th.  Could have just been referring to the 5 still on the team at this point.  They could easily decide they want Marisnick to work on his new swing with more playing time at AAA.  Marwin can play left field if needed and any of the starting 3 can play center and right.

I've noticed this too, but it's worth mentioning that the Opening Day starters haven't been getting a lot of playing time recently.

Moran with a straight away centerfield 2 run homer after Marisnick broke an 0 for a lot streak.  3-3 Top of 7
