I heard reports during the game he was DFAd but still got into the game.

Does that mean the hurricane can be claimed?
If so I wonder if they let him go early as a favor to give him time to catch on another big league roster.
BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.

And I thought that he had a chance to make the team this year. Hopefully he will catch on with a team that has a spot.

With Inglett, Edmonds, and Gerut in camp
I suppose there wasn’t much room for a guy who really only plays second and the outfield.
But will they keep all three?
Also, I suppose that they have enough depth at 2B with Weeks, Counsell and Inglett.
Yeah, that was the point
They have enough veteran depth in camp, especially veteran LH hitting depth, that they won’t lose sleep over the possibility of losing Iribarren.
with lofgren
do the indians have to put him on their 40 man if they take him back. In other words, is there a chance we can keep him and put him in AAA?
Yeah, if Iribarren clears waivers they can outright him to the minors
The Indians could decide to let the Brewers keep Lofgren or the teams could work out a trade.
If they work out a trade does he have to clear waivers or something?
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
He has to clear waivers before he's offered back to CLE
If another team wants him they can claim him, but they have to deal with the same roster restrictions.
Pet peeve
It is the Rule 5 draft, not Rule V. Major League Rule 5 covers the draft, and the rule book doesn’t use Roman numerals.
You're right of course
I know why it’s called the Rule 5 draft, just was trying to overcomplicate things.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Narveson has had the best ST of any starter.
I wonder if that’ll just one more reason the Brewers release Bush soon.
That's too bad for Iribarren.
A career .314 hitter, he probably should’ve gotten a better shot at sticking with the big league club.
Gonna take this off of the front page until we get official confirmation
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Wondered why it was demoted...
Applying Simpsons and Star Wars quotes to Brewers discussions since 2009.
We're closing in on two days, and have yet to receive official confirmation here...
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
