QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) The 40 man roster stood at 38 men with him and he was not out of options, they didn't have to send him through waivers but they chose to anyway. Now the 40 stands at 37 so why were they trying to clear a spot on the 40 by outrighting him to AAA? It's probably because he's not any good but if that's the case then they must have really not thought much of him. I dont think there is more to it than that

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:59 PM) Wonder what the true story is.... Clearing roster space at Charlotte? Clearing space on the 40 man? Maybe Harrell said something to his Mgr that got him in trouble? He was picked up off of waivers before he got to AAA. So there really is no story beyond that.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 01:46 PM) seems like that's 3 serviceable relievers we've lost this season. But I'm sure some will say I'm over-estimating their worth. Yeah but that hasnt really come up and bit us yet

I was just listening to the Score. Obviously everyone is frustrated with Dunn but Rios is a different story...If he didnt have that huge contract he would be outta here. He had a good year last year but there was always a reason that Blue Jay fans were cheering when they heard we picked him up off waivers. Obviously he dogs it on some plays and Ozzie realizes that. He did the same thing in Toronto. But then there was that one youtube video of him screaming back at fans after he struck out what was it 5 times?(correct me if Im wrong on that). Seems like those red flags are popping up back here again. He can be a good ball player but at this point Im not sure if he will pull it together.
