Who is eligible to be taken off our roster next year if they are not protected on our 40 man roster?

 

Is this list out there or is it too soon?

We'll get you that info in two separate threads (Rule 5 eligible, Minor League Free Agent eligible) as we've done in prior summers. Look for them later this week.

Here is my list of Rule 5 eligible players. I may be missing a few but I think this is fairly close:

[pre]Name Protect? Level Drafted/Signed

Preston Gainey No ? 2012

Luis Aviles No AA 2013

Nattino Diplan No AA FA

Tyler Spurlin No AA FA

Tucker Neuhaus No ? 2013

Carlos Leal No Rookie 2014

Carlos Luna No Rookie FA

Devin Williams Maybe AA 2013

J. Segovia Maybe A+ FA

Carlos Herrera No ? FA

CJ Hinjosa No AA FA

Drake Owenby No DL 2015

Nate Griep Maybe AA 2015

Max McDowell No AA 2015

Jake Gatewood No AA 2014

Nathan Kirby No ? 2015

Bubba Derby No AAA 2015

Cody Ponce Maybe AA 2015

Phil Bickford No A+ 2015

QTC No DL 2015

Jon Olczak No AAA 2015

 

1st time available for draft:

T.Grisham Yes AA 2015

N.Walters No Rk 2015

J. Sibrian No Rk 2015

J.Lujano No A- 2015

Y. Coca No A- 2015

Pinero No A- 2015

M. Sanchez Yes AAA 2016

Ray Yes AAA 2016

Erceg Yes AAA 2016

Webb Maybe AA 2016

Z.Brown Yes AAA 2016

D.Brown Maybe AA 2016

T.Jankins Maybe AAA 2016

W.Wilson Maybe AA 2016

Hummel No AA 2016

Z.Clark No A+ 2016

N.Rodriguez No A+ 2016

C.Roegner No AA 2016[/pre]

 

The roster crunch does not look to be nearly as bad as last year. I see 5 "must protects" and another 8 decisions to make. Of course this can change as the season goes on due to injuries and performance. I think the Brewers can fairly easily clear 10 spots to protect players.

worth noting: if a player spends less than 20 days total optioned in a given season, he does not burn that option and is granted a full season of major league service. you may recall that this happened with keon broxton in 2017, preserving his final option in 2018.

 

it's notable that we're now at the point where if a player is promptly recalled on 1 september, he will have spent less than 20 days optioned from this date.

 

these active players can be optioned but have not been optioned at all yet in 2019: chase anderson (requires his consent), orlando arcia, alex claudio, ben gamel, trent grisham, josh hader, freddy peralta, eric thames (requires his consent) and devin williams.

 

however, it should also be noted that 2019 is the last season where rosters can expand to 40 in september.

Jay Jackson's option clock has restarted. He will burn his 1st option after 8/20/19.

notable in that jackson was recalled today. if he stays with the club through september roster expansion, he would not burn that first option.

ben gamel will very likely be recalled before he hits 20 days optioned. if this happens, he doesn't burn his option, and he is credited with a full season of major league service.

ben gamel, jay jackson and freddy peralta do not burn their options this year. devin williams is likely to be recalled and will not burn his either.

Was out of town this weekend and just got around to updating this thread.

 

Tyler Austin added to 40-man, he has 0 options remaining for next season.

 

All options that were still in the air for 2019 have been preserved for 2020 via September callups.
