We have quality PTBNLs?
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
6 months after the draft.
New Draftees can’t be drafted for the first year, but naming PTBNL can be pushed back up to 6 months.
The PTBNL is somebody named "Alcides"
something or other. (j/k of course)
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Yup
It’s Hernan Alcides Iribarren.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Hopefully it's not Heether
Although he might get a shot in the majors that way

IIRC
if we don’t put Heether on the 40-man this year, he can become a free agent. That would make it less likely the Reds would take him, though it also means it doesn’t matter. We probably lose him either way.
Also, cheese.

Call me crazy
But I’m not too excited about gathering ex brewers
Friends don't let friends be cub fans
Good may come out of this
The Grand Branyan could be next.
Ok, so that’s an unsubstantiated rumor I just made up, but I’d be ok with it.
C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk
About as consistent as relievers get
Good veteran guy to have around.

I wonder who goes down and who gets booted off the roster
Corporan, I’d imagine, gets DFA’d, and Smith is probably packing his bags for Nashville.

The Rays have coveted Corporan for a long time.
Also, cheese.

I brought this up in the game thread, but I'll mention it again here:
What are the odds the team sends Iribarren down and goes with an extra reliever in the pen?
With Hall now able to play three infield spots and three outfield spots, Iribarren is somewhat redundant on the bench.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Can't complain much
He at least has a functioning arm and doesn’t give up that many runs.
(Does this also mean that McClung certainly won’t be activated this week? Haven’t heard a thing about the state of his arm in the last 14 days….)
I'll take it
Pretty solid bullpen arm, much like the other ex-red.
