bigred3535 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I was just wondering if anyone knew when the list of who made it through waivers will be released? I'm assuming that the process is complete/almost complete by now...is that a false assumption? I can't remember when it typically is known.

southsider2k5 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 We will never know the full list, but some people will leak out specific intreaging names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorthsox Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 We should begin hearing stuff by Wednesday, last yr ESPN's website ran a listing of those who cleared and those who didn't. I would expect the same this yr. As a side note: The Sox find themselves in an interesting situation this yr, as the last team on the waiver list they in effect get a period of exclusive negotiations with any team trying to clear a player. It will be interesting to see if they can take advantage of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's a false assumption, while many will be put thru at the onset many others will be put thru later on as neccessary. IIRC the waiver window for a player is up to 72 hrs.

Kyyle23 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) I would have to say that the Cubs picking up the sausage killer was pretty big. Not a big name, but he had a big impact Edited August 2, 2005 by kyyle23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 So we're looking at Larry Walker, Randall Simon, and the Crimedog? That'd be sweet if this were 1995. It kind of seems like no-names and older guys with bad contracts are the ones that make it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be sweet if this were 1995. It kind of seems like no-names and older guys with bad contracts are the ones that make it through. The question is wether they made an impact on their respective playoff bound teams. Seeing as McGriff and Walker went to the WS, and Simon came within 6 outs of going to the WS, I would say they were good acquisitions.

BigSqwert Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Griffey is a guy who most likely will be on the list because of his enormous contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxpranos Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) If Griffey is on the waiver wire , I say get him. Edited August 2, 2005 by Soxpranos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black jack Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 How does it work again? You put a player on waivers... A team claims him and you can pull him back or let that team take him? If the player clears then you can trade him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team claims him and you can pull him back or let that team take him? If the player clears then you can trade him? Yes, when a player clears you can trade him to anyone. If a player is clamied you can pull him off and then negotiate with the team. Also, I recall, Manny Ramirez cleared waivers last year.
