Sarcastic F-wad
Oops. Missed Pegs getting sent to Fresno.
No idea. There is no current crunch for 40-spots, so I would guess that they would prefer that he gets back to the game this season so he can cleanse the season from his pallet and so they can see him in action again.
Not sure if this belongs on this thread, but I've been noodling the 2014 roster and the payroll. This is the breakdown:
Under contract (16): Cain, Bum, Tron, MVP, BB9, Scoots, Stamos, Panda, Oxy, Romo, JA, KCya, Dunning, Hembree, Chez3, Kiesh
Free Agents (5): Freak, Grope, Gangle, JLo, New LF
Arb Eligible (4): Mijares, Kobe, Abreu, Shark
Committed money -- $84.5MM
Free Agent Estimate -- Freak 15, Grope 1.5, Gangle 12, JLo 4, New LF 15. Total $47.5MM
Arb Elig Estimate -- Mijares 2.4, Kobe 1.4, Abreu 0.6, Shark 2.0. Total $6.4MM
Total Estimated Payroll: $138.4MM
There are potential savings with Petit/Kamp/Kick over Freak; minor leaguer over Mijares; let JLo walk; Panik/Noonan over Kobe; Peggs/JC over Shark; going in house vs. FA OF. Also, a trade for an OF would be cheaper than acquiring a FA.
However, I think Gangle is pretty much a lock and I'd expect his contract to be around 4/50. Freak will be something like 3/45 or 1/QO. Grope might command more like $2MM, but I think the $1.5 estimate will be close.
Still seems like there's plenty of room in the budget to overpay a FA OF.
It's official...
Tanaka DFA'd
Runz DFA'd
Tanaka is almost certainly gone. I think Runz is out of options, so he is likely gone as well.
Abreu activated from the 15 on Saturday
Hembree added to the 25 and 40
Monell added to the 25 and 40
Perez recalled
Kontos recalled
Dunning recalled
Peguero recalled
Noonan recalled
Adrianza called up
Two 40-spots will need to be cleared before Tuesdays game to make room for Monell and Hembree. Reports speculate Tanaka and Runzler.
Monell, Hembree and Adrianza all get their cuppo's. That will make 9 cuppo's on the season. Wow!
Perez, Keschnick, Noonan, Kickham, Dunning, Tanaka, Adrianza, Monell, Hembree.
Surprised that Dominguez was left off the list.
I think Runz is now officially a minor league free agent. Too bad he was never able to make it; I thought his control was good but the last two years it's been awful.
Can't wait to see Hembree...
I remember listening to Runz' major league debut a couple years ago. He came in and struck out the side with an electric fastball. Miller was peeing all over himself about that performance. Alas, what might have been.
(Probably not his debut, but early on.)
