De La Rosa as in Eric De La Rosa? He may not even get protected from the AAA Phase.

Anyways, McCosky doesn't know what he is talking about, in general. In the case of SGL, they don't pick him up in the deadline if they don't plan on adding him.

Honestly, I think you brought it up when they got him that by acquiring him they knew he would have to be protected in the rule 5 and put on the 40 man and we did MN a favor by making it easier on them and their 40 man. Good thing there is quite a bit of dead weight that can be slid off of it after the season. 

[Edman85]

This is a bit dated, but this type of calculation is a lot more reasonable than anything McCosky and his complete lack of ability to understand any roster rules or nuance could muster. Note the Tigers aren't listed, which implies they don't have a crunch to worry about. Plenty if flotsam on the current 40 man.

the more they add, the more trash gets taken out

The absurdity continues:

Well atleast it wasnt arm related, of course its not exactly ideal to hear an 18 year old complain about any sorta back problems even if it is just "stiffness" either.

kids today...

A few lines from tonight of note. 

Tork a double for 4 with a walk.

Dingler 2 for 4 with a HR and a walk.

Santana a Homer for 3 with a walk.

On a side note while looking at the AAA box scores I noticed our old pal Christin Stewart is still around playing for the Worcester Sox, he hit his 19th HR of the season and now has an OPS in the upper .800s. I wonder if he will ever get another crack at the big leagues or if he is just going to be a minor league lifer?

Wentz 5IP 2H 1ER 3BB 2K 1HR.  2K not much but 2H in 5 not bad.

Some of those 60 Day IL guys will be staying there as well for at least part of 2023 as well (Mize, Skubal).

It would seem like they'd have enough room for the must adds and a couple of the fringey guys once they cull the chaff of the current roster (ie. Short, Cameron, Clemens, Davis, Castillo, Hutch would be my guess, but the team may have different ideas)

Players are removed from the 60 day IL at some point after the season can't be put back on until sometime around spring training - in other words, they will count against the 40 man for the Rule 5 status.

Thanks.....

Still enough chaff to clear room one would imagine.

You have to activate 60 day guys in the offseasom.

[Edman85]

Also, that 60 day rule is a big reason why there is a rash of free agent signings around mid February when 40 man spots open up.

Bowden has one Tiger in the top 50 Jobe at 44.

[buddha]

jobe is on these lists because of draft position.

[casimir]

All of those top 100 prospects thanks to the tanking.

Parades homers again, geez

[casimir]

Torkelson at bat, runners on 1st & 2nd, hit & run, and he lines one to the 1Bdude who picks it cleanly, runs over to 1B and then tosses down to 2B for a triple play.

But did you have the over or under on the EV?

Al's parting gift. He wanted to be like DD with E. Suarez.

EV as in extremely vexing?

[RandyMarsh]

Scouring the box scores tonight and not a whole lot of positive things to pass on that I can gather. Kriedler had a nice day going 3-5 with a HR bringing his season OPS to .795 in Toledo.  Also Gage Workman was 2-4 with a double and triple down in Erie. 

On the pitching front Reese Olson went 6 innings of 4 run baseball with 6Ks in Erie.

exit velo.

As I happened to have the afternoon sports radio come on in my car today and I was amused to hear several minute's prattle regarding various silly betting options on sporting events, it struck me that there must be millions of people out there watching sports with no interest in the actual net outcome of the human competition and it seemed a fan more interested in how hard Tork hit the ball instead of the rare but absurd game outcome of the AB summed it all up.
