Spring Training Game Thread: 3/17, Padres vs. Angels

I got a MLB voucher for $50

and I’ve been trying to buy this 1984 cap for like 8 months and they never have any sizes in stock. Currently they only have a 6 something and a 7. This is the official MLB store! How do they not have any selection?

How quickly do eliminated WBC players come back?

Is this the last we’ll see of Blanks start outside of SS games?

Adrian's been playing a lot

I think he’ll be back in the lineups by this weekend, but I’d be a little surprised if he pops up sooner than that.

I thought the argument

Was about wearing camo stuff for the military and who was more patriotic. I thought almost every team wears the green on St. Patty’s day.

I'm guessing

he’s quite a sure bet to make the team. Especially with KT liking him a lot. I’m really interested to see how the Cabrera, Denker, Gonzalez and Burke situation will work out. Can we send Denker to the minors if he doesn’t make the 25 man roster?

by sixpakfrombelgium on Mar 17, 2009 3:05 PM PDT up reply actions

I can't recall

but I don’t think we have to carry Denker, but I could be wrong.

I belive when you claim someone off of waivers

then you have to keep them on the 25 man roster or you have to DFA them.

He is pre-arb.

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Mar 17, 2009 3:19 PM PDT up reply actions

Denker

Is out of options. He will have to be waived before accepting a AAA assignment. Any team could claim him at that point, but since he is pre-arb, if no one claims him, he is forced to accept a AAA assignment. If he wasn’t pre-arb then he could refuse the assignment and become a free agent.

Ignore my last statement

I was assuming that the reason the Giants waived Denker was that he was out of options, but they are dumber than I thought and just waived him to get him off the 40 man roster for pretty much no good reason.

The Padres just need to keep Denker on the 40 man roster, but they can send him to Portland without consequence. This is a very likely scenario, since you cannot do the same for EGon, LRod, Burke or Cabrera.
