Player-Option - Player chooses to pick up the option in the contract or become a Free Agent (Opts-Out) Club Option - Team chooses to exercise the option in the contract to keep the player or declines the option and the player is a Free Agent...typically there is a buyout amount that the club pays to end the contract Mutual Option - Either Player or Team can pick-up or decline the option in the contract Fan Option - No such thing...but it's fun to wish and hope for some to stay and others to go
My 40-man adds look like this: Luis Rijo - just so we can continue to compare him to Gil Jhoan Duran - Big Arm and a Falvine acquisition Griffin Jax - Think he'd get picked up by the Marlins and dealt at deadline Jovani Moran - young LHR (no other reason) Wander Javier - POT (as in big potential) Travis Blankenhorn - plays and looks like a left handed hitting Justin Turner...hope he's that kind of late bloomer Gilberto Celestino - should bust out this summer also Falvine Acquisition Luke Raley - medium aged OF insurance (or we can fast forward those guys a couple years younger) I'd part ways with the following: Harper - the book has been written and all the teams have it Hildy - lost the confidence to fool batters...I wonder if he's not tipping pitches Poppen - not as fresh anymore Cron - I hope the surgery does wonders for him...too high ARB$$ to keep around Bringing my total to 35....leaving FA room for 3 starters a reliever and backup catcher I'll wait for another topic for freeing up some spots via trades... Which will have to happen when you look at next years R5 group Here's a picture (which in this case is worth 210 words) of my 40-man roster Sheet
Today should be all about the Quez Trade the Farm for: Closer: Felipe Vaz Frontline Starter: German Mar Maybe call the Phillies about Vince Velas Win today...win the Central...win the AL...win the WS Seems like a good day to me
