Boers and Bernstein are trying to confirm that Juan Uribe has been released.

 

That would be dumb. And I dont like Uribe. You are already paying him lots of money to play here. Whats the point of releasing him.

oh boy I cant wait for SSI71's snacks and cakes post

 

I don't like him, but getting rid of him for nothing is stupid.

 

Now to appease Kyyle's call for blood.

 

Unless he injured half the team running to the buffet table for the snacks and cakes call.

LOL, thanks for that.

 

 

 

The only reason I could see the Sox cutting him loose is Uribe being disgruntled with his move to 2B, and the ascension of Ramirez (and even Richar).

Boers & Bernstein confirm he's been DFA'd.

 

Alexei Ramirez must be the starting 2B now...

 

Okay I like the idea of Ramirez or Richar being the starter. Great.

 

Hopefully they can trade Uribe to someone and get some salary relief. I can't see them just eating the salary.

Well...I wasn't willing to say that renegotiating Uribe's contract before trading for Cabrera was a mistake a few months ago when that all went down.

 

But today, this officially moves me into the camp of saying it was a mistake to re-up with Uribe. How can you re-up with a guy and then 4 months later cut him before he's played a game of baseball?

The O's want him, they can have him

 

A-ram is now our starting 2B with Richar as backup plan. This is of course if we didnt trade for Brian Roberts.

 

 

Interesting angle by both you and Fathom. By DFAing Uribe we clear a roster spot.

so... including last year we dumped Mackowiak, Iguchi and Uribe all for absolutely nothing in return. cool.

At least with Mack and Iguchi we saved a bit on salary and at least picked up a couple fringe minor leaguers for them. Unless we've got something lined up, DFAing Uribe doesn't save us a penny and gets us nothing in return other than a roster spot and playing time for the youngin's.
