The Dodgers on Friday added Michael Antonini, Stephen Fife, Josh Wall, and Chris Withrow, and outfielder Alex Castellanos to the 40-man roster. This protects them from the Rule 5 draft, which will take place on December 8 at baseball's Winter Meetings. Two weeks ago, Brandon Lennox outlined the possible additions to the roster.
Wall (2005 second round) and Withrow (2007 first round) were drafted by the Dodgers, but the other three have been acquired by trades in the last 11 months. The Dodgers got Antonini from the Mets for shortstop Chin-Lung Hu, they got Fife along with catcher Tim Federowicz and pitcher Juan Rodriguez from the Red Sox for outfielder Trayvon Robinson, and plucked Castellanos from the Cardinals for shortstop Rafael Furcal.
In addition, the Dodgers removed pitchers John Ely and Carlos Monaterios from the 40-man roster, outrighting them to Triple A Albuquerque. With these moves the Dodgers now have 38 players on the 40-man roster.

Yes
If the player is not claimed (clears waivers), the club may option him or assign him outright to the minor leagues, though he must continue to be paid according to the terms of his contract. A player may be assigned outright to the minors only once in his career without his permission. Thereafter, he may either 1) reject the assignment and become a free agent, or 2) accept the assignment and become a free agent at the end of the season if he’s not back on the 40-man roster. Additionally, player with 3 years of major league service may refuse an outright assignment and choose to become a free agent, regardless of whether he has been sent outright to the minors previously. A player with 5 years of major league service time who refuses an outright assignment is entitled to the money due according to the terms of his contract.
Are we sure about "yes"?
Have either been outrighted before? I think there is some six-year rule; Monk has been in the minors six years, but Ely only five.

I wrote this in the last thread of who is avaliable for the Rule 5 draft after these additions
Ethan Martin, Kyle Russell, Tony Delmonico, Jon Michael Redding, Cole St. Clair, Nick Buss, Jordan Roberts, Austin Gallagher, Andres Santiago, Chris Jacobs, Griff Erickson, Justin Miller, Tim Sexton, Jaime Pedroza, Matt Wallach, Pedro Baez, Geison Aguasviva, Rafael Ynoa, Carlos Frias, Bladimir Franco, Ramon Jean, Jose Dominguez, Daniel Tamares, Charlie Mirabal, Pedro Guerrero, Elian Herrera, Josh Walter, Steve Smith, Joseph Becker, Robert Booth
Not 100% sure on E Martin, but I do think he is eligible
Some of the lower level guys (like Gallagher) will need to be put on the AAA or AA rosters to protect them from the minor league phase of the draft, correct?
that's correct
but those offseason minor league rosters are never made available so we just have to wait and see if we lose anyone in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft
by Brandon Lennox on Nov 18, 2011 8:09 PM PST up reply actions
Did you ever write a primer on the minor league rule 5? I have no idea how that works.
by Michael White on Nov 18, 2011 8:10 PM PST up reply actions
Here is a good primer
From Official Minor League Baseball Site
There are also Triple-A and Double-A phases to the Rule 5 Draft. Players selected from an organization’s Double-A reserve list must spend the next season on his new team’s Triple-A reserve list or on the Major League roster. Players selected from an organization’s Class A, Short-Season or Rookie reserve lists must spend the next season on the new organization’s Double-A or higher reserve list. Players put on the Triple-A reserve list cost the selecting team $12,000, and players put on the Double-A reserve list cost the selecting team $4,000.
A player on a reserve list may not play for any team at a level below the level he’s reserved for, but that player need not be on the active roster for the level at which he’s reserved. For instance, a player on a Double-A reserve list may not be on an active roster for a team at any level below Double-A, but he may participate in extended spring training and does not have to be on the organization’s Double-A, Triple-A or Major League active roster.
If Martin is eligible
then it’s pretty shocking he wasn’t added. He’s a wild ass righty but still throws 97 with a hammer curve.
Weird move.
Especially since Ramon Troncoso is still on the 40 man
by Michael White on Nov 18, 2011 7:59 PM PST up reply actions
Maybe for a while
I still think they will make three major league additions this offseason:
starting pitcher
backup infielder
relief pitcher
If they do all three they would need one more spot.
by Eric Stephen on Nov 18, 2011 8:00 PM PST up reply actions
when they protect these players
does the organization thinks they can contribute in the majors? a couple of these guys I’ve never heard of.

Do you mean a couple of the guys they added to the 40-man, or the guys who are probably eligible but not protected?

If E Martin is indeed not eligible, I’d hazard a wild guess that Cole St. Clair is the most likely to be lost. A LOOGY with more than one year AA experience could be of some use to other teams. Houston drafted Wesley Wright, who fit that profile, away from LA.

and had nothing to do with actually playing in a given season
by Brandon Lennox on Nov 18, 2011 8:16 PM PST up reply actions
otherwise even if Martin hadn't hurt his knee after getting drafted
the Dodgers could have held Martin out of games in 2008 just so he wouldn’t be eligible for the rule 5 a year earlier
by Brandon Lennox on Nov 18, 2011 8:20 PM PST up reply actions
I think you
also have to play a minimum number of games for it to be considered a full year of minor league service time.
The system is set up to keep the players with the team that signed them as long as they can without having to do anything with them.
i hope you are right
as I def don’t want to lose Martin
by Brandon Lennox on Nov 18, 2011 8:28 PM PST up reply actions
I've def heard of that for option years
maybe it applies to the rule 5 also
by Brandon Lennox on Nov 18, 2011 8:30 PM PST up reply actions
Baseball America
uses the term “four years of minor league service.”
What is the Rule 5 draft?
The Rule 5 draft takes place every year during the Winter Meetings. Players who are not on a 40-man roster and have four years of minor league service (five years if they signed when they were younger than 19 on the June 5 immediately prior to their signing) are eligible to be selected in the major league phase of the draft. In order for a team to make a selection, it must have an opening on its 40-man roster. Teams must pay $50,000 to select a player in the draft, payable to the team which loses the player.
Players selected must remain on the selecting team’s 25-man major league roster throughout the next season or be offered back to the team from which they were drafted (for $25,000).
Logan raved about him on the radio the other day. But he also compared Griff to Aj Pierzynski, so maybe it wasn’t raving after all.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
I really wouldn't be surprised if he is gone in the rule 5
seems like you could stash him as a backup catcher considering how bad catchers are these days
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
And some teams carry 3 catchers even. Leaving him available seems like a bad idea.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
He’s a AA catcher in an organization that lacks depth at that position. We, as fans, probably think more of him than any executive in MLB does.
Like I said, on the radio, Logan White seemed to like him a lot.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
He kept Troncoso, Hoffman, Sellers, and one or two other guys who almost certainly wouldn’t make a full season over him. I’m not so sure how much White really likes him.
Sellers is an easy keeper. As the team currently stands, he’s on the opening day roster. I assume Ned is reluctant to let Tron go for the same reason he let Lolance do his Jedi mind shit on him. Hoff, I got nothin’.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."

Ramona Shelburne
examines the “we want flexibility / payroll is going down” statements from Colletti and wonders what’s up:
There’s no way Stewart and Kemp could have missed Colletti’s previous comments or been unaware of the Dodgers financial issues as they go through this sale process. Remember, Colletti and Kemp are close now. They’ve repaired their relationship and talk often. Colletti and Stewart go back 30 years.
So you have to wonder whether something else is going on here.
Could Kemp and Stewart be ratcheting up the pressure on McCourt to give Colletti the chance to make a realistic run at Fielder? Or at least not be hamstrung with a budget smaller than last season’s?
it's all a ruse
every time Colleti, Kemp and Stewart see each other, they brush the side of their noses with their index fingers.

I think Boise State as an undefeated would have jumped Alabama or Oregon at some point.
Too bad the Houston Cougars started so low this year..
How would they have jumped them? TCU wouldn’t have been back in the top 25 without their win last week and the rest of the teams on BSU’s schedule are going to do nothing but hurt them.
Oh and even if Houston goes undefeated they don’t deserve a BCS bowl bid. Their schedule makes BSU’s look like they’re in the SEC.
You can only beat the teams on your schedule.

local h.s. football team
got mauled in first round of playoffs tonight. Could tell it was going to be a long night after the first drive. 54-28 but not really that close.
After my high school team lost 81-0 in the first round of the playoffs
They reorganized the entire City of LA league structure.
In Illinois they have a running clock in the 2nd half once a team gets up by more than 40 points to prevent running it up.
Our opponent (and I say mine and our because I was in school at the time, not on the team)
was playing its “B” football team by the 3rd quarter and still scoring.
My high school team did this my junior year. We had a real good team that ended up with a couple guys in the NFL. Several more made it onto college programs.
Nobody super big though. I believe Eddie Hartwell was the biggest name guy from that team (he played in the NFL for 6 or 7 years and got a good sized contract from Atlanta at one time.
In my three years at good old Simi High, our football team won 4 games……last in the league every year. We’d get beat 42-6, 54-3, etc., etc.

"I was a little scared he was into that Oakland thing. We swing here on 3-0." Grady Little on Andre
It's actually 12.4 million
“Starting next year, teams will have to make a “qualifying offer” of a one-year guaranteed contract to their players eligible to become free agents in order to receive compensation if the player signs with another club. That amount will be at least $12.4 million and could rise by next year, depending on a formula. The new “qualifying offer” does away with the statistical formula for ranking free agents that has existed since the 1981 strike settlement."

Compensation
“If the player rejects the offer and signs with another team, the signing team loses its spot in the first round of the amateur draft and moves to the end. Teams will no longer lose a pick for signing a premium free agent. "-ESPN

SEC West....ruling the BCS
- - LSU
- Alabama
- - Arkansas
Unreal…I think LSU could theoretically lose to Georgia in the SEC title game, but still only drop to #2..
Then you’d have the BCS champion not even winning its conference.
no surprise of course
but other then SEC schools the only school of note on Bamas schedule was Penn State. Arkansas played no one worth talking about outside of the SEC. SEC SO GOOD BECAUSE SEC BEATS SEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
If LSU dropped to #2 after losing to Georgia and Alabama was #1 then LSU would not play in the BCS Championship game. Only 2 teams per conference can make it into BCS games and 1 of those 2 slots would go to Georgia for winning the conference. In this scenario the next highest rated non-SEC school would play against Alabama.
The BCS champion could still be a team that didn’t win it’s conference but it wouldn’t be a game between 2 SEC teams that didn’t win it.
nope, there can be 3 conference teams in BCS if top 2 are in BCS standings
No more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings.
I think LSU only drops to #2 even if they lose to Georgia.
So close, yet so far. Feck.

People
Should have plenty of time to talk to each other on Christmas Day. Without the NBA, there will only be one live sporting event scheduled that day, Sunday Night Football game between Chicago and Green Bay. There are no other NFL games (bulk of schedule on Satruday December 24th), no NHL games, no NCAA basketball and no Bowl games.
I see and talk to my family all year. Christmas is for sports and presents!

Man, you can barely tackle anyone in the NFL anymore, wtf is with this bullshit, game was fine the way it was… Might as well just air games on Oxygen now.

Who cares that life expectancy for an average NFL player that plays 5 or more years is 52-57 years old.

yeah, my grandma was in her 80s I think when that happened. Anyways, im not saying everything should go, but its getting a litte crazy IMO. If a guy takes a blatant shot at someone I understand, but when Kelly is just trying to make a sack with 1 arm and his arm just so happens to hit the QB in the head, what else was he suppose to do? Just do nothing because his arm might hit his head?

I really dont know, but maybe because they barely run the football, so even though they score alot their defense is on the field alot?

Man, Bills are really falling apart, wish Raiders got to play them later in schedule, oh well. I guess teams caught up with that short passing game. Or maybe Fitz got paid and said fuck it.
Ha. I think the Bills are now the worst team in the NFL. The same thing happened in 2008. They started 5-1, gave the coach, Dick Jauron, a contract extension, then finished the season 7-9. Jauron was fired in 2009. Maybe they will learn not to give contract extensions during the season.

So much fr the thought
that he might come cheap and incentive-laden. Bet he signs a pretty substantial 1-year deal (4-5 Mil base, my guess) with someone.
if it’s for a comfort thing, he might still come back. But who knows?

After all of the booing that was directed at Broxton from the Dodger fans
He is an excellent example of a player who will ‘benefit from a change in scenery’.
He could fit in with Atlanta and be right at home

Too bad such shitty weather for the MLS Cup tonight at the HDC…. Like football, soccer games are never rained out right?
Damn. Too bad I’m going to miss it.
Josie’s got my back though. She can put up a recap later tonight. (Which I won’t read.)

Dave Grohl sighting at Jerry's in Encino
he was kind of a douche. I asked to take a picture with him when he was waiting with his daughter by the door and he was just like “No.” OK. Still love the Foo tho.

I understand you don’t want to get your picture taken, but its like, yo, I’m just a fan, I help support your swanky ass lifestyle by going to your concerts, etc.

that sucks
saw him a few years back in Sherman Oaks at Carls Jr. He signed a napkin for me, gave it too a friend for her birthday
I would think so
I at least wouldn’t think that makes him a douche.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
A friend of mine moshed with him at a concert
I think it was a QOTSA concert….not sure.
