I'll just take that to begin the contest.

 

[RevSader]

Nice leadoff double.

 

[Bmurph]

I wish Elvis would swing the bat there but ill take that Rios 1-0

 

[Bmurph]

3-0 saw that off the bat, good job AB

 

[RevSader]

Ummm wow...this is fun!

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Nobody is catching that one this time.

 

[donaldson79]

He has a fractured rib but he's not on the DL as of yet.

I thought if a player was placed on waivers he couldn't play?

 

[Bmurph]

Ummm wow...this is fun!

We must remember this when the bullpen comes in

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Does anyone have a good reason why the Yankees did what they did and put Thornton out there and the Nationals grabbed him?

 

[Duane1952]

Just don't stop scoring. 3-0 hasn't been enough last two games.

Nah. I think there is a certain way they do it.

Pretty sure on revocable waivers the team can continue to play the player until a team claims them and a deal is made to move the player to said team.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That should be caught.

 

[donaldson79]

That should be caught.

That was, IMO, a very easy catch. No error was charged.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Good job Colby.

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks to both you and Rev.

So, with revocable waivers, is it still 10 days?

Lots of teams will put a number of players on revocable waivers after the trade deadline in case some team offers them a deal they can't pass up on and then they can still trade those players in August. Yankess also placed Gardener, Drew and Prado on waivers as well. Doubt they move any of them as they are still in the WC hunt.

Once he clears waivers he can be traded.

A player that clears waivers can be dealt to any team, while a player that is claimed on waivers can be dealt to that team only (within 48.5 hours) or simply pulled back off waivers. A player can be placed on waivers a second time after being pulled back, but the waivers are no longer revocable the second time.
