A team can only use the 60-day IL when they need to add a player. They can't just put a guy on the 60-day and be at 39 players. 

I thought the whole idea of the 60 day IL/DL (when did they change the name and why, did Gatorade have a hand in this) was to take the guy off the 40man roster without burning an option or accruing service time. The team takes a risk that the player is healthy before 60 days, but that’s clearly not the case with Tommy John. Seemed to me like a very team-friendly thing. 
 

I guess it’s practically the same thing, you don’t want an injured player taking up a spot when someone else could do it, and why stay at 39. I might be mistaken on the rule, but my thinking is this injury doesn’t affect Berroa’s standing with the team, it just puts it on pause for a year. Probably not ideal for him, but I’d like to see what he’s got.

Players aren't "disabled". They're injured. Scholtens has accrued a year's service time on the 60-day IL all last year.

No, he's on the 40-man. If he's not on the 26-man, they're burning an option. 

That is false. An option is used when a player is demoted from the major league roster. Being placed on the IL is not a demotion

There's no regular IL right now because there's no 26-man rosters in effect. And the 10-day (15-day?) doesn't open any spot on the 40-man. 

The 60 day removes player from 40 man roster. The sox do have players already on 60 day list currently

The 26-man is the major league roster. If one is on the 40-man, and is put on the 60-day, he burns service time without using an option.

Yeah I read that quote out of context. My mistake

Nobody said they didn't. They don't have players on the "15-day IL" because there's no 26-man roster to take players off from, yet.
