The complete list of Ryan's Mark I (and bit of 2012 for Mark II) transactions is here.All those guys (except Alvarez I think, who I already noted) were already on the 40-man roster, or had recently been on the 40-man (maybe DFAs?), or in the case of Speigner, was on another team's 40-man (he was a rule 5 pick).

The complete list of Ryan's Mark I (and bit of 2012 for Mark II) transactions is here.I don't claim to remember a vast majority of these guys listed in the trade examples... I recall Luis Castillo working out well. The one that stuck out to me and should include an asterisk is Johan Santana. He was a Rule 5 pick that year. The Twins had the #1 pick, Marlins #2. So essentially they swapped picks (cash received in deal) so the Marlins could select Jared Camp, and the Twins selected Johan. I guess you could consider that a trade? But again, that goes back to the debate of does the credit go to the person scouting the player or the GM turning in the card.....
August 8, 201511 yr People get floors and ceilngs mixed up all the time I'm sure.Happens to me all the time, usually after I've been drinking all day.
August 23, 201511 yr Given the way this guy can pop the mitt, and given his performance vs. Baltimore helps keep this crazy dream of a season still alive, all I can say, to quote Blur, is "woo hu!"
