ooooo. Interesting. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see someone pick up Fontenot.

 

I'm reposting this in transactions, by the way

Thank You... I'm thinking Greenberg and Fontenot will probably get picked up.

[Chris]

Thanks for the update!

I liked Fontenot's chances to be a 25th man, unfortunately this roster has about 5 of those. I'm assuming they didn't take off any of the crappy vets.

 

If I'm a small market team with a CF question, I'd take Greenberg and see if he could stick.

[Andy]

What about the Greenberglar was bad enough to get him DFA'd? :?

[sethuel1]

Reposted in transactions. We might want to merge threads or something. Sorry for the extra work, mods, I just figured it would get more views there.

[MPrior]

Greenberg was DA'd? That's terrible! Unless I'm not remembering how getting designated for assignment works. Somebody tell me we didn't just completely get rid of Greenberg.

[Brian]

If i'm a GM with a small team and have bullpen problems I'd give Bobby Brownlie a shot.

He can get picked up in the Rule 5 draft.

Is that the "you have 10 days to trade him" move?

Definitely. It's his only chance to make it, and I think he can.

[Brian]

He was mostly very effective when used from the pen this season if I remember correctly.

You have ten days to trade him if he refuses assignment. Only "veterans" can refuse assignment. Greenberg doesn't have enough service time to refuse assignment, I don't think

If another team picks him up, he has to stay on their 25 man roster the whole year (either that, or the DL). If he doesn't stick, he gets returned to us, and the team gets a little money out of the deal.

I know that's how the Rule 5 works, but I was wondering about the DFA, rather than being outrighted to Iowa.

that's the rule 5 process, he was talking about designating for assignment, which is defined as removal from the 40 man roster without immediate assignment to a minor league roster.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I could see Fontenot and Greenberg being selected.

[JeffH]

These moves leave the 40-man roster at 41. Someone else has been or will be removed or there is a trade pending.

 

Release Macias!

Are you counting Eyre or not?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Shocked that Dope and Moore were protected (in regards to Dope - maybe Hendry decided not to gamble over a big name prospect who struggled in high A this time after what happened to Sisco). Disappointed that Sing wasn't protected.

[JeffH]

Are you counting Eyre or not?

 

Yes, I'm counting him.

[YearofDaCubs]

I dont know what to say. We have a lot of people who are elgible for Rule 5. UNfortunately, some of these guys could have helped our bench.

[CUBZ99]

I don't see why Greenburg wasn't even given a shot to win the 5th OF spot.

 

Couple questions:

 

Why is Soto still protected?

 

Also, who is Jose Reyes and why in the world would they protect him?
