Dodgers Add Five To 40-Man Roster; Ely & Monasterios Outrighted To Triple A

By Eric Stephen

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.
