Dick Allen Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:59 PM) With Houston paying all of his contract. Does that money go with, or does Florida keep it? The Marlins keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 03:59 PM) One big difference, the Astros are paying the Marlins. If you claim Lee, you have to pay him his entire contract. The Marlins were trying to trade him and wanted teams to eat $2.5 million even though they essentially are paying him the minimum. For 2 months that's about $6 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) The Red Sox placed Nick Punto on waivers today. He would be a better option than Hudson at this point... Â no, No, NO!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Of course, there's always Manny, and I'm sure Julio Franco can still hang out some rope. Â If Kenny can talk Carlos Baerga out of retirement, he still has a chance to complete his collection of that team's full starting line-up.

Jeff Manto was on that '97 team. I guess we can add him to the collection of Indians.  http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mantoje01.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 01:51 AM) When would we find out if anyone claimed Fontenot? If he passes through waivers, you should only know it if someone happens to leak it. Â There are 47.5 business day hours after the player is put on waivers for any team to put a claim in on him unless the rules changed under the last CBA. Once a claim is put in on a player, the 47.5 hour clock restarts for a team to either trade him or to pull him back. Â I don't believe Saturday/Sunday count as business day hours.

Ok, then I learned something too.  One more thing to note...if he clears waivers, he can be traded at any point through the end of the season.

cabiness42 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Fontenot seems like a clear upgrade over Olmedo or Hudson. Must be something we're all missing about him if KW hasn't picked him up already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 07:33 AM) Fontenot seems like a clear upgrade over Olmedo or Hudson. Must be something we're all missing about him if KW hasn't picked him up already. Why isn't Fontenot in a Sox uniform by now? He must be weighing options from several clubs because I would think Kenny would have made him an offer by now. He'd be a clear upgrade over Hudson.
