They have one, which was opened up by Thad Weber leaving for Korea.

 

Which is too bad, since there's about 5 other guys that could be removed from the roster without creating any problem and arguably 2-3 more after that.

 

Storey, Jeffress, Jenkins, Rasmussen, Perez...

Marcos Mateo is good. I want him.

Idk, one's enough. It would be almost impossible to commit to two rule 5 guys for the whole season in an all-in year.

True, but I'm moreso just saying there's no need for the 40 man roster to be at 39 right now.... there's some easy trimming that could be done.

Top names to watch per Mayo(shudder)

 

Junior Arias, OF, Reds: Super-toolsy outfielder who hasn't played above A ball but had 15 homers and 60 steals in 2013.

 

Danny Burawa, RHP, Yankees: Right-handed reliever who pitched in Double-A in 2013, up to 95 mph with his fastball, but with command issues.

 

Oliver Drake, RHP, Orioles: A one-time well-thought of prospect as a starter, Drake threw just 18 innings in 2012 (shoulder) and came back as a reliever in 2013, throwing well in Double-A with a low 90s fastball.

 

Marcus Hatley, RHP, Cubs: He's been eligible before, with command issues keeping him from being a viable candidate; threw much better in the second half of 2013 with a mid-90s fastball and glimpses of a good slider and splitter.

 

Tommy Kahnle, RHP, Yankees: Anotther hard-throwing right-hander, with a mid-90s fastball, who has had command issues and a lack of a consistent secondary pitch, Kahnle did have 15 saves and an 11 K/9 ratio in Double-A in 2013.

 

Freddy Lewis, LHP, Yankees: A lefty reliever who was known as a strike-thrower with an average fastball, Lewis may have improved his stock by throwing hard and tossing 11 scoreless innings in the Arizona Fall League this fall.

 

Marcos Mateo, RHP, Cubs: Mateo pitched in the big leagues in 2010-2011, missed 2012 following Tommy John surgery, but was reportedly throwing very well in the Dominican Winter League.

 

Brian Moran, LHP, Mariners: The older brother of 2013 Marlins first-round pick Colin, Moran is a deceptive lefty who is a strike-thrower while also striking out 10.6 per nine in his career.

 

Adrian Nieto, C, Nationals: Former high school teammate of Eric Hosmer, he's put a 50-game suspension behind him and is coming off a solid 2013 in the Carolina League followed up by a strong turn in the AFL.

 

Zach Thornton, RHP, Pirates: More of a command guy with decent stuff who gets a ton of groundballs, Thornton pitched across three levels in 2013 and threw well in the AFL to boot.

 

Others to watch: Jabari Blash, OF, Mariners; Anthony Carter, RHP, Red Sox; Steven Kohlscheen, RHP, Mariners; Carlos Perez, C, Astros; Tyler Ybarra, LHP, Blue Jays

Yep, that's true. AA hasn't done a very good job of managing the 40-man. Adding Nolin in particular was a big mistake.

Last night I met with Felix Pie, Marcos Mateo, Rafael Dolis and Junior Lake.

 

Pie will sign a deal with Japan team (900K); Dolis want to pitch in Japan; Mateo told me that several scouts are impressed with him;Lake was playing in DWL and the Cubs sent him to rest.

The Angels have acquired left-handed reliever Brian Moran from the Blue Jays in exchange for an international bonus slot, according to Bill Shaikin of the L.A. Times. The Blue Jays had selected Moran from the Mariners in this morning's Rule 5 Draft (Twitter links).

So it's $244K to be used up before June 30, 2014? Don't know where the Jays spending is at but there are zero Central or South American prospects worth giving that to.
