Yeah, but losing him to waivers is worse than the rule 5 draft. If he would have been taken, he would have been returned given this spring and would currently be pitching at Bowie.
Chris Jones dfa by Angel's. I was a tad critical of the move but it appears to be a good move now. Knew he wasn't fantastic but didn't expect him to pitch to a 5+ ERA.
Jason Garcia was on the roster because he had to be. If he had "truly made the transition," he would be on the team this year. Not already sent to the minors.
He will make his major league debut Wednesday against the Pirates. He will be inserted into the rotation immediately.
