Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-22-2009

Isn't Miles on a rehab assignment? If so, why is he getting over 35 ABs in the minors? Don't get me wrong, I don't want him up on the Cubs, but can't he force himself to get brought back up since he wasn't designated for assignment?

 

I think the DFA is coming if he doesnt amaze in his next few games in the minors, and since hes Aaron Miles, I dont see him amazing anyone, anywhere. Maybe their trying to shop him around before dumping him. We can hope, cant we?

More money down the toilet. We've come to expect this from our moron GM.

I'm not up on all the rules, but I think I remember reading somewhere that MLB clubs are allowed to have their position players play in 10 minor league games before they need to be activated. I would imagine Miles is close to that number.

 

I also think David Patton will be activated after he max's out his number of minor league appearances (I really thought they would try to hide him on the DL until September).

I thought the rule was something like 10 games until the player can demand to be called up. So, if you have an agreement in place you can go longer. But maybe I'm wrong.

I think pitchers can stay longer. If it is 10 games they could pitch Patton every 5 days and call him up in Sept.

 

regarding Miles, how much ML service time does he have? Couldn't the Cubs option him to AAA (assuming he cleared waivers LOL)? I don't believe he has enough big league time to ask for his release.

Miles has just enough service time to where he could ask for his release.
