Actually, I'm not really concerned. :clap3:

But at least Roberts gets to hang out with his boys in the dugout.

[Pedro Cerrano]

What a load of crap. Roberts is officially hurting this team now as a very serviceable player has now been claimed by a division foe.

[Purple Oriole]

Whats the big deal? What was his stats this year, I dont remember seeing him play.

Why are people getting butt hurt about this move? Dude wasn't getting it done in AAA. We have Tolleson who was ahead of him. BFD.

Because there is no reason for Roberts to not be on the 60 day. The O's just freely gave an asset away to a division rival.

Big deal. Antonelli couldn't get it done at AAA. I don't think he'll get it done at the ML level, if he even gets to that level again

[sangar]

If they're down to claiming our rejects, it doesn't say a lot for their system.

we start beating the Yankees, they start taking our players

Interesting use of the word asset.

Well, whoever the player is, the point is that it didn't need to happen. Sure Antonelli might not ever do anything in New York but the point is that this happened for no real good reason.

I mean, why in the world is Roberts not on the 60 day DL?

Not sure what you mean by this? I thought the term appropriate, you disagree?

I do disagree. He was picked up off the scrap heap and was struggling at AAA. The guy is replaceable.

He was signed to a ML deal and the Yankees thought he was worth claiming. Both of those facts show value.
