Rymer Liriano and Giovanni Soto cleared waivers and have been outrughted to Triple-A Charlotte

 

How much room did we need to create on the 40? Is there enough room to scoop someone up on waivers?

That's good we didn't lose Liriano.

Nice to see they both cleared. Would really like to see Liriano take advantage of what might his last real chance.

It was at 38. Drop Liriano and Soto (pitcher), moves it to 36. Add Asche, Geo Soto (Catcher) and Swarzak should put it at 39.

So room for a possible waiver add.

Sure but who are you sacrificing off the roster?

Half of the roster is worthless. Maybe you find someone slightly less worthless to replace them with.

Basically.

Asche is a minor league deal so could put him in AAA without losing him, I believe.

Not that it matters, but what is the theory behind Cody Asche on the roster? 1200 PAs and .684 OPS. .298 OBP.

Just that he hits left-handed?

What would you do with the roster spot instead?

Nick Franklin DFA'd.

 

Would be an interesting grab.

Just to piss you off.

I'm sure Blue Jays fans in 2010 were also saying "WTF, why is Jose Bautista on the roster? 29 years old, 1911 plate appearances, and a career .242/.334/.412/.746 95 OPS+ in his career. Stupid." Then he exploded.

 

It is the exception to the rule, but Asche has put up numbers in the minors and he only turns 27 this year. He hit well this spring. His roster spot is perfectly justifiable.

I know he's not making the opening day roster, but has Delmonico been sent down yet?

No. They technically have to do something with E Cabrera, Hayes, Delmonico, K Smith, and Burdi. And they have to place Rodon, Tilson, and Minaya on the DL.
