April 15, 201015 yr The Red Sox claimed righty Santo Luis off waivers from the White Sox, according to a team press release. Luis was then optioned to Double A. Jed Lowrie was placed on the 60-day DL to clear a spot for Luis. Luis, 26, posted a 4.34 ERA, 12.7 K/9, and 3.7 BB/9 in 56 High A relief innings last year, allowing 11 home runs. He saved 14 games for Joe McEwing's Winston-Salem Dash. The Sox had claimed Luis from the Astros in '07 in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/04/red-...santo-luis.html The 40 man roster now stands at 39. Making room for a move? Edited April 15, 201015 yr by GO CHI SOX!
April 15, 201015 yr I said this in the minor league page about the same thing... How many trades actually happen before June?

April 15, 201015 yr Santo Luis was a Rule V project that wasn't worthy of a spot on the 40 man roster, you can sometimes sneak those guys through waivers in April and save yourself a 40 man spot. It's best to have 39 or less guys on the 40 man roster at all times for flexibility purposes. This opens up the possibility of making a waiver claim or the like. Most all trades before June are made out of necessity and are of little to no import. You're never going to see a decent player for prospects deal done in mid April when all team are still technically "in it."
April 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) Maybe we will sign J Dye or J Crede? I dunno, Charlotte's roster is fairly strong this year already
