How does the claim order work for subsequent players if we do claim someone? Meaning, do we stay the same place in the order for the next players, or are we dropped lower in the order as a result of having already claimed someone?

I think each time it’s the same order but not positive.

The using Shaw part does

Tommy Lee Jones played Al Stump's distorted version of Ty Cobb in 1994, three years after he portrayed Clay Shaw in 1991.

Now that he is 76, he is the proper age to portray Bryan Shaw.

Quintana (and Veal) were full minor league free agents, so they had cleared waivers entirely. It looks like he was a 40 man roster casualty and the White Sox signed him in Mid November to a 40 man roster contract.

Here is more info on Navarro. The Sox signed him as a 20 year old out of Venezuela.

Quote

Navarro, 25, gets his first major league call. The Venezuela native signed with Chicago as an amateur free agent late, beginning his professional career at age 20. (Most Latin American amateurs sign at 16). Predictably, Navarro didn’t generate much prospect attention given his late-blooming background. He combined for a 3.64 ERA in 54 1/3 innings between High-A and Double-A last season to put himself somewhat on the radar.

Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs named him an honorable mention on his write-up of the Sox’s farm system last winter, pointing to a traditional sinker/slider combination. Navarro has indeed racked up plenty of grounders between the top two minor league levels this year, including a 60% grounder rate in 34 1/3 Triple-A frames. That has contributed to a reasonable 4.19 ERA despite a below-average 21.2% strikeout percentage and particularly alarming 16% walk rate.
