Didn't Gregerson go on that list for something last season, too? I wonder what it is. Hopefully nothing too serious. Also, why designate Minaya when you have a crappy Peacock that could easily done without. At least Minaya is a few years younger.
I won't pretend to know much about Juan Minaya because I don't. But why would you DFA a 25 year old who most list as one of your top 30 prospects, to keep guys like Fields and Peacock? Will be good to see Worth play a little, if he actually does
I can't recall ever really paying attention to Minaya before today, but I am 100% confident that he will now turn into a star.
That makes a lot more sense, wasn't thinking about that possibility. Would guess they already have some talks going that makes them think they will be able to move him for a non-40 man prospect
Yes, it's always bugged me as well. He strikes me as lazy minded and full of it. He's a freaking rookie, not Kirk Gibson.
Have you seen Giles? I think only the button right above where it is tucked in is actually buttoned. Thats probably why he blows saves.
Minaya hasn't had a good year and was a fringy 40 man add to begin with, but I would be surprised if he wasn't claimed. Doubt he has much if any trade value. Maybe some cash or a very low value PTBNL.
If he threw in some walks and extra base hits. Definitely a good first game though. No strike outs, and all quality contact.
