prochisox Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) The Red Sox claimed righty Santo Luis off waivers from the White Sox, according to a team press release. Luis was then optioned to Double A. Jed Lowrie was placed on the 60-day DL to clear a spot for Luis. Luis, 26, posted a 4.34 ERA, 12.7 K/9, and 3.7 BB/9 in 56 High A relief innings last year, allowing 11 home runs. He saved 14 games for Joe McEwing's Winston-Salem Dash. The Sox had claimed Luis from the Astros in '07 in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/04/red-...santo-luis.html The 40 man roster now stands at 39. Making room for a move? Edited April 15, 2010 by GO CHI SOX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Santo Luis was a Rule V project that wasn't worthy of a spot on the 40 man roster, you can sometimes sneak those guys through waivers in April and save yourself a 40 man spot. It's best to have 39 or less guys on the 40 man roster at all times for flexibility purposes. This opens up the possibility of making a waiver claim or the like. Most all trades before June are made out of necessity and are of little to no import. You're never going to see a decent player for prospects deal done in mid April when all team are still technically "in it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
