This is some serious right-handed, bullpen heat.

That puts our 40 at 41 unless I missed a transaction somewhere...

34 under contract + 7 arb-eligible

Never mind. We only have 6 arb cases, not 7.

It's Raymond Black and Joan Gregorio (if you want to have a chance of finding their stats on Baseball-Reference.com ).

40-Man Roster | SFGiants.com: Team has our roster at exactly 40.

Which means that as each FA is signed, a corresponding DFA will be announced. It's not as if Brown, Ishikawa, or Hector Sanchez are guys we have to kepp. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Sanchez is traded at or before the Dec mtgs.

Hence my correction stating 6 Arb cases instead of 7...

Yup.

All 6 arb-eligible players were offered arbitration.

Ishi is coming back. That does not bode well for the outfield.

I am feeling bad for '15...

Well, it depends upon who we add to the OF. Say it's Rasmus...then we'd have Pence, Oxy, Rasmus, Shark, Ishi.

I could live with that.

 

[calsnowskier]

Morse officially gone.

 

[calsnowskier]

Romo back in the fold.

No word who is getting DFA'd. I would guess we have a trade in the works SOMEWHERE. That could eliminate the need to DFA anyone.

 

[calsnowskier]

Kendry Flores and Luis Castillo traded to Miami for Casey McGehee

 

[Mays-Fan]

Nah, it's pretty new - I think it started last year.

Wimps.

I remember when Wilbur Wood started both games of a doubleheader for the White Sox.

Why in god's name are you replying to a post that is almost 1.5 years old? It's not like you haven't been here the entire time.

Lol. I didn't realize I was on the first page of the thread. I didn't look at the little date.

But they're still wimps.

AnVil DFA'd.

The actual announcement says "Outrighted", though...

You may only DFA a guy only if your 40-man is full and you need a spot.

You then have 10 days to try and trade him.

If you can't trade him, then you can outright him to the minors. If he has already been outrighted before, then he can refuse. Otherwise he must go (skipping details about major league service time).

I'm not sure if Angel was 'officially' outrighted before. He was outrighted back in 2011-2013, due to legal problems and he was going to sue, and the Giants rescinded it, so I don't know if it counted or not (he was on the reserve list, because he couldn't play).

Scutaro has back surgery.

Scutaro has back surgery, out for at least 4 to 6 months - Giants Extra

You can always outight a guy, but it makes more sense to DFA him.

I just checked and Angel was placed on the restricted list (not reserve, sorry) in Apr 2012 and removed in Feb 2013. Today I didn't see a record of him being outrighted, but I remember they wanted (tried?) to.

Sounds like he can't even resume baseball activities for at least 4-6 months, and who knows if it even goes well. His career is probably over, at least in an SF Giants uniform. Thanks for the 2012 memories. Bad $21M investment.
