Wily Peralta: to the pen, to the minors, or something else?
djoctagone replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
if you're only considering players on the 40-man roster, tyler cravy has been pitching well in colorado springs. his mlb performance this year, however . . . -
nolin hasn't started throwing yet.

don't waiver claims cost something? isn't it $20,000 (and thus $20,000 spent just to acquire kirkman)?
-
the article is wrong in assuming, unless they already know that the brewers intend to stash him at aaa and that kirkman is wiling to accept the assignment. when a player is designated for assignment, the club has ten days to trade, release or assign the player to the minor leagues. in the early part of these ten days, a club can put in a waiver claim and add him to their 40-man roster. but given that kirkman is out of minor league options, another club would have to also add him to their 25-man roster. by the end of ten days, the brewers may decide they want to part ways entirely with kirkman, and they'll release him. or, they may decide they'd like to keep him at aaa, but kirkman has to agree to it, because he's already been outrighted to the minor leagues once before. or, another team may be willing to take a chance on him and acquire him for their major league roster via a trade. mariñez was designated for assignment on 8 may by the rays. four days later, the brewers agreed to trade for him.

pre-arbitration players currently on the roster with at least one minor league option remaining: chase anderson michael blazek zach davies scooter gennett junior guerra jimmy nelson domingo santana
-
mariñez is out of minor league options and has been outrighted to the minor leagues before. if the brewers wish to send him to the minor leagues, he has the right to refuse the assignment and declare free agency.
-
it's a revolving door of relievers out of options who have already been outrighted once before (meaning they have the right to declare free agency if the brewers wish to outright them to the minor leagues). jhan mariñez becomes the latest, replacing michael kirkman on the 40-man and 25-man roster. as mentioned above, kirkman has the right to declare free agency if the brewers wish to assign him to the minor leagues.

Brewers Designate Sam Freeman to make room for Junior Guerra
djoctagone replied to MrTPlush's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
while having the right to refuse it and become a free agent, freeman accepted his outright assignment to colorado springs. he remains in the organization. -
it should be noted that only one active reliever can be optioned (michael blazek). it's doubtful that the brewers would option him, so expect to see dfa reports aplenty as the season progresses--especially with so many players likely to return from the disabled list.

Brewers claim LHP Michael Kirkman from Padres
djoctagone replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
kirkman essentially takes the place of david goforth, who was optioned today when wily peralta was activated from the paternity list. -
who was cut to make room for peralta?
-
michael kirkman claimed from the padres. the 40-man is full. kirkman has no minor league options remaining, and has the right to declare free agency if the brewers try to outright him to the minor leagues.

Brewers claim LHP Michael Kirkman from Padres
djoctagone replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
he was optioned in 2010, 2011 and 2012. -
Garin Cecchini to Brewers for Cash Considerations
djoctagone replied to billymac's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
in 58 triple-a at-bats, cecchini has struck out only 6 times. he's definitely been putting the ball in play. -
what i'm not clear on is what happens if jones is not able to complete 90 days of active roster time in 2016. it's my understanding that if the brewers want to keep him, he'd have to complete it in 2017 (while not on the disabled list). does the service time accumulated count, or does the 90 days clock reset? for example, let's say he's not healthy enough to return until mid-august this year, and stays on the active roster until the end of the season, logging in roughly 45 of the required 90 days. does he need to open the season (if healthy) on the active roster, get the remaining 45 days, and then be able to be optioned if the club wishes to? or does he have to log in at least 90 days on an active roster in a single season? i seem to recall reading about a 2015 rule 5 draft pick who spent too long on the dl last year, and that he made the 2016 opening day roster because the club wanted to keep him. anyone know whom i'm talking about?
-
if the rule 5 player has already cleared waivers (removed from the 40-man) and is traded by the original team to any other team, it's a trade of a minor league player on a minor league contract. you can't option a player that's not on a 40-man roster. you can assign him to a specific minor league club, but it's not an optional assignment.
-
zack jones was transferred to the 60-day disabled list today. jones needs to spend a minimum of 90 days on the brewers 25-man roster in 2016 in order for the brewers to keep him on their 40-man roster and be able to option him during 2017 spring training and beyond. 32 of those 90 days can be after 1 september, when rosters can expand to 40. thus, the brewers can stash jones on the dl until early july before having to make a decision about bringing him up to the club (and putting him back on the 40-man roster by activating him). jones would also be allowed a 30-day minor league rehab assignment--which could start in early june if the club wanted to maximize his stay in the minors.

Tyler Cravy to AAA; OF Alex Presley called up.
djoctagone replied to 1992casey's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
yes, broxton's option would not have been burned, but he has to remain in the minor leagues for a minimum of ten days before he can be recalled again. the only exemption would be if broxton was replacing a player placed on the disabled list (possible that the paternity or bereavement list would allow for that recall exemption as well). -
Tyler Cravy to AAA; OF Alex Presley called up.
djoctagone replied to 1992casey's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
it's indeed alex presley. -
zack jones transferred to the 60-day disabled list to open up a spot for alex presley. presley has no minor league options remaining. he has also been outrighted to the minor leagues before, so if the brewers wish to outright him again, presley has the right to refuse the assignment and declare free agency. the 40-man roster remains full.

don't expect corey knebel back any time soon.
-
garza is likely going to be on the dl for quite some time.
-
reed started in center tonight for colorado springs.

broxton's oh-fer performance to start the season reminded me of another player who was once a promising prospect: brad nelson. in 2009, nelson went hitless in 21 at-bats (two-thirds were pinch-hit appearances) with 9 strikeouts. he was outrighted to the minor leagues on 13 may, refused the assignment, and became a free agent. the regime was different then, and the short-term goals of the organization were different then.
