Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 03:55 PM) I think signing Cleto may be the precursor to a potential Petricka trade. Petricka is young, has had success in the minors, good pedigree, yet somewhat expendable. Worth noting the Yankees drafted him out of high school, not that I think a Yankees trade is imminent. Do you think Kenny Williams is still obsessed with Dellin Betances? He had kind of a bounceback year last year I suppose. Just curious.

Athletics To Designate Parrino, May Acquire Elmore By Jeff Todd [February 27, 2014 at 10:11am CST] 10:14am: Oakland may be acquiring infielder Jake Elmore from the White Sox, tweets Slusser. Elmore was designated by Chicago yesterday. 10:11am: The Athletics will soon announce that utilityman Andy Parrino has been designated for assignment, tweets Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. As Slusser notes, that means that a corresponding move is set to take place. Parrino, 28, has seen 229 MLB plate appearances over the last three years with the A's and Padres. His cumulative line stands at a meager .186/.295/.242. Though he also struggled at the Triple-A level last year with Oakland, he had previously shown an ability to get on base and provide some pop at the upper tiers of the minors. Parrino's primary appeal, however, lies in his versatility: he has appeared at short, second, thirtd, and both corner outfield positions during his short big league tenure.

Especially considering he took a roster spot away from one half of the "Twosome of Terror" that were destined to be the 1-2 punch that the Sox desperately needed at the top of the order. On a side note, the poll also showed that Cleto failed to elicite smiles from patrons at afrorementioned Applebees when he dined there.

Dick Allen Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I wonder if a player has ever been waived and/or DFA'd in one offseason by 2 teams with more losses the previous season than Elmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
