Kintzler DFA… Latest: clears waivers; outrighted
djoctagone replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
this move puts the 40-man roster at 39. -
mcclendon optioned to nashville last night . . . estrada activated and returned to the starting rotation.
-
maysonet officially optioned, and therefore, he remains on the brewers' 40-man roster. the 40-man roster is full.
-
what if all of this is a ploy to keep people from spending the time to vote for ryan braun for the all-star game?
-
let's not forget that the brewers are playing with 13 pitchers right now. one would assume that when travis ishikawa is activated tomorrow, that taylor green will be optioned, and not a pitcher. that still leaves the brewers short a bench player. who'd be a good available fill for us right now?
-
izturis activated, and maysonet designated for assignment evidently. weird move in that it removes maysonet from the 40-man roster; he could've been optioned to nashville. maybe they're high on bianchi or want the flexibility of a waiver claim soon.

Crew signs Livan Hernandez
djoctagone replied to Marc Newfield of Dreams's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
maybe he's on his way to help at the youth baseball clinic in whitefish bay? -
second child delivered today! no word on whether axford will be available tonight.

blame jay gibbons for setting a forum precedent.

McClendon optioned to Nashville; Vinnie Chulk called up
djoctagone replied to AZBrewCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
a 25-man roster spot and responsibility for the remainder of parra's $1.2 million salary. -
waiver claim rhp josh stinson (from the new york mets) puts the 40-man roster at 38 (i haven't seen a formal announcement regarding travis ishikawa). once ishikawa is added, the roster's at 39, which leaves room for mark rogers when his suspension ends in the coming days.
-
corey hart passed his test. he's making the opening day roster.
-
amaury rivas has been outrighted off the 40-man roster. currently at 36, pending the addition of cesar izturis.
-
recently released from the cubs, he is reported to be the #1 catcher at double-a huntsville. he does have major league experience with the pirates.
-
that's tomorrow, folks.
-
with zelous wheeler claimed off waivers today by the orioles, the 40-man roster is at 37. there might really be some truth to edwin maysonet being in the mix.

minor league deal for of corey patterson
djoctagone replied to djoctagone's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
raise your hand if you cheered when you saw the tweet about patterson being released. -
roenicke mentioned today that edwin maysonet is in the mix for a bench job. he is not on the 40-man roster.
-
per this article, ron roenicke says he knows what the team will do if corey hart starts on the disabled list. i found it interesting that he mentioned corey patterson as part of the outfield depth. makes one wonder if the brewers are considering adding patterson to the 40-man and 25-man roster, cutting him when hart returns, and having mark rogers take that vacated spot on the 40-man when his suspension ends. i can't see why they'd make such a move, but perhaps it's because another player on a minor league deal has an opt-out clause if he's outrighted. players on minor league deals with invitations to big league camps typically have opt-out clauses that take effect at the end of spring training or around early june. let's suppose brooks conrad has an opt-out clause that allows him to become a free agent by 1 june if he's not on the 25-man roster by then. his contract requires him to play for the brewers' minor league team until 1 june. but let's also suppose that he has an opt-out clause to become a free agent if he's on the 25-man roster, but outrighted before 1 june (i.e. just five days into the season when corey hart returns). one would think that the brewers would care more about keeping brooks conrad in their system than corey patterson.
-
designating dillard at that point would conveniently open up a spot to return mark rogers to the 40-man roster when his suspension ends . . . which would be just a matter of days after marcum would be activated.
-
if having brooks conrad available as emergency catcher makes ron roenicke feel more comfortable about using george kottaras as a pinch hitter late in the game, i'm all for having brooks conrad on the bench.
-
take xavier nady off the list. he signed a minor league deal with the nationals last week.
-
i really wish that all of this discussion about potential acquisitions for backup middle infielders was in the thread devoted to potential acquisitions for the bench.
-
jeff bianchi has been outrighted to huntsville. 40-man down to 38 players, with mark rogers still restricted.
