Good question! Ruthven was drafted in Jan and went straight to majors in mid Apr. Maybe he wasn't signed by mid Mar when the photo was taken? I have no idea on LC, as he was drafted the previous year. It seems odd as he was the 3rd overall pick? Maybe he was in minor league camp? He wasn't even 20 yrs old.
There are 3 other players missing from the 40-man. With Bruherts' release, 4 before final roster.
