Today we have added Luis [Javy] Guerra to the 40-man roster. Our 40-man now stands at 33 players.

Logan White probably changed his mind and had Guerra added after getting a positive report on him from George Genovese. (The flip side to Eric’s joke yesterday.)

The delay of a day
is quite curious. I wonder if along they were going to add at least one player and the debate was over who that player should be. Not that I see any other candidates. I’m glad they did so, I didn’t want to say anything the other day until the deadline had passed. Thus saving my outrage for other matters:)

Maybe we didn’t add Van Slyke because HOFFMANN will be back in May.
by silverwidow on Nov 20, 2009 2:21 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
and because nobody will take Van Slyke

As I recall
his father told him he sucked when he was playing for the Loons and that if he wanted a major league career he better get going.

I always liked the Mutt Mantle story (and for more than his name!)…when Mickey was struggling in the minors he called his dad and said he felt like quitting and wanted to come home, and his dad told him he thought he raised a ballplayer and not a quitter.

2011 Rule 5
Are we going to add Tennessee’s all-time strikeout leader, James Adkins??
I’m guessing no.

I actually meant December 2010.
But if you’re asking why I’m talking about this, I’m not sure.

Like anyone would care if we lose George Sherrill the II.

I guess that would make him Cory Wade 3.0

jamie moyer has a great change and command

command needs to get better, needs to prove his slider can work on lefties
and that’s just to be considered for a loogy type role :o

Jeff Passan with his FA list with some humorous capsules like

56. Orlando Cabrera(notes), SS: Well, his defense regressed significantly, his offense was as milquetoast as ever and he turned 35. The Baseball Twinkie survives nonetheless.

Keith Law defends his Cy Young ballot on a St. Louis radio sports talk show. You kind of know what his answers are going to be, but it’s interesting to hear him say it. (It is a ten-minute long segment.)

What makes that interview hilarious is of the ten minutes, about six of them are spent re-asking the same question over and over and over again, and Law’s attempt to not answer it the same way he had twelve times previous.

its pretty easy to not vote for him..
just be like… He was injured the first month of the season and a cy young awardd winner should be helping his team out from day 1 to the last day of the season..

Recent Lincecum news cause commercial to be reworked.

LOL! (l literally did)
That would be a great commercial to rework with Timmy. "I don’t always toke up, but when I do, I prefer Maui Wowie."

RSM is Reynolds Sports Management, a sports agency (Larry Reynolds) who reps Torii Hunter, among others.
Javy Guerra is a client, as are Old Friends Joel Hanrahan, Reggie Abercrombie, and Wesley Wright.

There was talk from the Astros into converting Wright from a LOOGY to a starter.

I’m too lazy to check the other 29 teams, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Dodgers’ 40 man list is the smallest in baseball right now (33).
by silverwidow on Nov 22, 2009 8:56 AM PST reply actions 0 recs
That sounds right. I took a quick look at the NL West, and the Dodgers are the lowest by far:
Dodgers 33
Rockies 38
Padres 39
D-Backs 40
Giants 40
by Eric Stephen on Nov 22, 2009 9:11 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
The Cardinals, who had 9 free agents (one of the highest totals; Dodgers led with 15), have just 34 players on their 40-man.
