Only a bit. Look at it within position groups. Remember they haven’t played any games yet. Still, more moves will be from left to right as guys are cut from big-league camp than will be jumps.

For the pitchers, the sheer numbers indicate Walsh has almost no chance of making Memphis, but this could signal they think he could be the most likely PB starter to make Springfield.

For Baker, the only real competition ahead is Ravelo and Nogowski and neither will block him when he shows he is ready. Baker will move down when Ravelo, Robinson and others are cut from StL. But what to watch is if they keep him at Springfield, skipping PB. It may be up to how he plays this spring.

Does that make sense?
