Jays claim (and demote) Thad Weber; Santos to 60-day DL

[fatcowxlive]

"The Blue Jays have announced they have claimed right-hander Thad Weber off waivers from the Padres and assigned him to Triple-A Buffalo. To make room for Weber on the 40-man roster, the team transferred right-hander Sergio Santos to the 60-day disabled list."

I thought Santos's injury wasn't major? I guess I'm wrong lol

[Smokey]

I think at this point it safe to put a fork in Santos and the chances of this FO ever being honest with us.

[Caper]

That 60 day DL would be retro active, so I think he must have less then 30 days now?

Josh Johnson will follow him on the 60 Day DL... Watch

I we cleared a 40-man spot why not use it for Negrych????

 

 

AA made a promise to the Buffalo team that he'd do what he could to put together a good team in Buffalo. With Ortiz and Storey up with the Jays, he's trying to replace them, McGowan will be there for 2 weeks and Stilson could be traded or promoted in place of Lincoln or something. Forget about Negrych, he along with Jimenez, Gomez and Langerhans were signed to help Buffalo compete.

I'm really not sure which orifice you're pulling this information out of, but Buffalo had very little leverage when signing with the Jays, the Mets were leaving so they had no options. Also, being geographically so close to the Jays is a boon for their attendance.

I was having a bit of fun, but there is something to it, the following is from a piece by Ken Rosenthal:

 

“It’s nice to have prospects, but the owner said, ‘We’re all about winning.’ And we gave them our word: We would do everything we could to give them as competitive a team as we can,” Anthopoulos says.

 

The GM then cites first baseman Mauro Gomez, who the Jays claimed from the Red Sox on April 8, then sent to the minors.

 

“He’s on waivers, and he was the International League MVP last year,” Anthopoulos says. “How can we look at the Bisons ownership and say, ‘We’re going to pass on the MVP?’ And obviously, he had big league time as well.”

Okay, well... the point is that there's no way that AA is going to weaken the MLB team to make the AAA team better... He's doing what he thinks is right (not that I necessarily agree with him in this, or most cases...)

He's starting rehab on Monday for Class-A, I think he'll be back soon

I was responding to someone asking why not use the 40-man spot for Negrych so I said forget about Negrych or anyone of the AAAA players because they were signed to help Buffalo compete, that's all, it's no big deal, but I don't talk out of orifices.

 

No doubt AA wouldn't weaken the MLB club to make the AAA team better, I mean it's not like Thole is better than Blanco.

Silliness. Not to mention that Buffalo have a log jam at 2b. Negrych began the year behind Velez on the depth chart but stole the job away.

[GD]

I'm pretty sure Thad Webber is leading AAA in FIP.

Sad but probably true. Converting a former short stop to pitcher hasn't worked out so far. Will he be back after the all star break?

Perhaps AA made a promise to Blanco that he wouldn't cut him this year? Didn't he make a similar deal with John Buck in 2010?

If he did that, that's just... Terrible GMing... I can't believe that any GM would promise Methuselah that he'd be with the big club all year.

I'd bet AA has more than 1 of those promises on the field.

I just can't see a situation where Henry f***ing Blanco was like "I'll only sign with you (remember, I'm 800 years old and haven't ever been a good hitter!) if you promise that under no circumstances will you take me off the MLB roster" and AA (or ANY GM) was like "DEAL!"

I don't see that either since Blanco was signed to a non- guaranteed deal

Which then begs the question "The f***? Why is he still here?"

Dickey wanted him. not sure, but if there was no promise made, why the hell is father time still on the team??

It goes like this... VetSavvy=Ribeyes > Leadership > Hustle > High Socks > Scrappyness > Versatility (here meaning, the ability to stand at various places on the diamond, not necessarily being able to play the appropriate positions) > how cute your butt looks in dem jeans > OBP

I'd pretty much agree, but the high sock is working for Casey so I wont trash it. lol

I like the high socks... If I still played, I'd be a high sock guy too (of course, by default I'd be a "scrappy white guy" since I'm 5'10 and pasty.)... But f*** playing when I can just SHOUT AND DRINK BEER!

5'10", you're a giant! lol I was always the smallest guy on the field, now I'd be the widest.

 

 

I'm more of a single malt kind of guy.
