Current Roster

[calsnowskier]

Gomez survived the Nov. 20th bloodletting.

Makes no sense. Dude is pushing 40 and was completely ineffective in the show last year.

If we end up losing Rodolfo because of that dude...

 

[calsnowskier]

BUT...

He is an easy DFA in the event they draft someone. Or if they drop a claim on Appel.

 

[LHG]

Orlando Calixte cleared waivers and was outrighted to the minors. I would guess he gets a spring training invite.

Micah Johnson got claimed by the Rays. Wonder how many more stops he'll have this offseason.

 

[calsnowskier]

Removed Moore from the roster.

 

[LHG]

 

[calsnowskier]

Arroyo, Span, Krook, and Woods traded to TB for Evan Longoria

 

[SFGRTB]

It's D.J. Snelten, BTW

 

[calsnowskier]

Updated for the McCutchen trade.

 

[LHG]

 

[calsnowskier]

They do (did) have an open slot on the 40...

I hope we have enough extra BP bats to send them...

 

[SFGRTB]

/Gets DFA'd when the Giants sign a CFer tomorrow

 

[calsnowskier]

Anyone remember/know how many options he has?

 

[LHG]

Just what the Giants need.

The Twins purchased his contract last November, so it looks like he's only had one option year used:

Engelb Vielma Latest Transactions

Team Date Transaction

Really weird transaction. They got him for free last time and let him go within a month or so. Wonder why they felt he needed to be picked up again.

They didn’t “let him go”. They tried to pass him through waivers. They like him, they they just needed the 40-man spot last time. Now they have a spot so they picked him up.

I've got 2

Players start with 4, don’t they? And he used one in 17. So he should be at 3 entering 18, no?

Maybe SFGRTB was going off topic and referring to himself.

That means we can’t keep him down for much longer. We will need to start listening to him by 2020.
