Ozuna signed for $.5M for one year (or 330k if in the minors), already noted in another thread. But the rest of the article...

 

We added Owens, Young, Stewart, Haigwood, and Haeger to the 40-man roster.

 

I believe that Borchard, Gload, and Anderson were already on that roster, though i can't find an official list to check.

If they were called up during the year, as they were, then they are on the 40-man.

Haeger!!!! Nice!!!!!

 

The rest are not surprises to me.  Owens and Young both have a chance to prove themselves in ST

That's the name that jumped out at me as well. Maybe the Sox are serious about bringing along the knuckelballer. That's so f***ing cool.

For some reason, the name Chris Stewart is not ringing a bell with me.  :huh

 

 

Catcher for Birmingham. I've been following him for a while. Was always regarded with defensive ability but this was the first year his bat started to come around as he repeated Birmingham. I'll be a little surprised if he does not start in Charlotte so the Sox can see if his improvement is the real deal.

Thanks for that!

 

Interestingly, unless I counted wrong, there are 39 players on there.  Hm...

 

So, the 40-man deadline has passed, and the Sox still have 39 people on their 40-man roster. Does this seem a little weird to anyone? Why would you not use all those slots to protect prospects, if nothing else? Is this a typo on MLB, or does it hint at something else? Any ideas, anyone?

Very simply, so they can add another player, whether it be via trade or free agency.

 

Also keep in mind that the Sox own free agents, namely Thomas and Konerko, are not counted on the 40-man at this point.

 

Putting a Minor League player on the 40-man and then taking him off shortly after can be a bad move. It is easier for a team to take a player off of waivers that is being taken off the 40-man than it is to select him in the Rule 5 draft.

Gotcha. That was the part I was missing. I figured it would be better to protect them while you could, but if that means putting him on waivers, I see why that may not be smart. Thanks.

They could be looking at someone in the Rule 5 draft also...
