This from SD's latest memo:

"On the November AE, we added 25 MD-88 Captains and 32 MD-88 First Officers system wide. Although there may appear to be a surplus now, get ready because the Mad Dog’s hours are scheduled to be flat year-over-year for January and then increase by 7% in February, 9% in March and 10% in April. The remainder of the year will see double digit year-over-year growth, with 20+% growth currently scheduled for the months of the fourth quarter. This is primarily driven by the increase in the number of MD90’s. This month we have 29 aircraft, which increases to 41 in June and 50 in December."

Good news because at the moment we are definitely overstaffed in the MD-88 in MSP, but these increases will fix that.
