    Rotoworld: Bronson Arroyo has been diagnosed with mononucleosis. It's better than Valley Fever, but obviously it's not the best-case diagnosis. Arroyo said he doesn't expect to miss any starts, meaning he'll likely take the ball on Tuesday and then in his first turn during the regular season. We'll just have to see how he recovers, though, as a player dealing with mono can often take several weeks or longer to return to 100 percent. Casey Kotchman missed most of the 2006 season with the illness. I guess there are levels of this. Boston's Jed Lawrie was pretty much devastated by this two years ago.

    I should not have second-guessed you so quickly after you posted this, djoctagone -- my explanation on the minor league forum.

    Everyone, my apologies -- 4. If a club decides not to keep a player selected in the Major League Phase of the Rule 5 draft on its MLB 25-man Active List (or MLB 15-day or 60-day Disabled List), the player must be placed on Outright Assignment Waivers, where any of the other 29 MLB clubs can claim the player for the $25,000 Rule 5 waiver price and assume the Rule 5 obligations. 5. If the Rule 5 player is not claimed off Outright Waivers, the player then must be offered back to the club from which he was drafted, and the player's former club can reclaim the player for $25,000, with the player being automatically outrighted to the AAA club from which he was drafted. If he has at least three years of MLB Service Time and/or has been outrighted previously in his career, the player can elect to be an MLB Article XX-D minor league free-agent after being outrighted (he has three days to decide if he is outrighted during the MLB regular season, and he has a week to decide if he is outrighted during Spring Training), or he can accept the Outright Assignment and defer the right to be a minor league free-agent under MLB Article XX-D until after the conclusion of the MLB regular season. (The player is not eligible to be an Article XX-D minor league free-agent if he accepts the Outright Assignment and then is subsequently added back to an MLB Reserve List prior to the end of the MLB regular season). *** Basically what this means is that when a Rule 5 guy does not stick, not only does he lose his chance at 25-man status, but he loses his 40-man roster status as well. Bummer for the player. Sorry about that, folks.

    Brewers 7, Indians 4 (box) Another undrafted minor league OF was rewarded with a big league appearance Friday, this one Robbie Garvey. Along with OF Lee Haydel and Hunter Morris, who dropped a potential game-ending throw at first base that did not lead to more trouble (it let John Axford get a few more pitches in), all three players saw defensive action only.

    Brewers optioned C Martin Maldonado to Triple-A Nashville; RHP Wily Peralta to Double-A Huntsville. It's the first option year for both. RHP Zack Segovia re-assigned to minor league camp, likely destined for Nashville.

    Started a Morgan thread in Rumors, so we'll focus on Mitre here if possible...

    As per Rosenthal....

    Nice job, JB12 -- closing the thread for the majors forum.
  16. Jim Goulart
    FYI -- Mitre will make $900,000 in 2011 with an additional $200,000 possible in performance bonuses. He has no minor league options left and will be eligible for free agency after this season (with a nice year might net a supplemental draft pick). To me, we just got back a slightly less expensive Carlos Villanueva, and that seems fair -- I wasn't on the Dickerson bandwagon. First true long relief option on staff...

    Brewers 11, Angels 8 (box) Congrats to last year's minor league non-drafted free agent from 2010, OF Reggie Keen, who rocked Helena for 17 games before fracturing his wrist, on his base hit (double) in Thursday's big league game. Newcomer Brett Carroll was 1-for-2, his first base hit in big league camp after going hitless in 15 at-bats in Royals' camp, and 1B Sean Halton made an appearance defensively.

    The front office guys in Nashville are putting their blog to good use -- some nice informative posts recently, be sure to review the past few days. Along with the Timber Rattlers' Chris Mehring arriving in Maryvale today, we can look forward to additional updates. We pretty much knew this -- Former Sounds catcher Mike Rivera[/b] (2005-07, '09), who is in Brewers' big league camp as a non-roster player, was informed that he'll open the season in the minors but will remain on the Major League spring roster until the close of camp.

    No, the roster is actually still at 40. Rosario cleared Rule 5 waivers on the way back, but would have to be exposed to traditional waivers if removed from the 40-man. In that case, a claiming team could grab him and not have to keep him on their own 25-man roster.
  21. Jim Goulart
    As many anticipated, the two Rule 5 picks, RHP's Adrian Rosario and Pat Egan, have been returned to their original organizations. Each remains on their respective team's 40-man roster, however (for now).

    Tyler Thornburg is on that roster, so we can feel a bit better about not seeing him in a boxscore as of yet.
