Juan Pierre Rumor...

[clapdiddy]

If the O's made playoffs he couldn't be on roster right?

I don't think so. I think he would've had to be in the organization before 8/31.

[Va Beach O's fan]

I support this move simply because the alternative of mcclouth batting leadoff is not very appealing to me. This would also allow mcclouth to move back to 3.

At this point, why not? I don't see how it could hurt. Kevin Gregg could be dropped from the 25 and 40 man in a heartbeat.

Yes. Just as long as anyone we get is on the 40 man before Sept. 1st they can be added to the playoff roster if they are replacing someone on the dl.

Anyone else reporting this? Or is it WNST just trying to say they broke a story?

Nobody else has anything. I don't even see the tweet from WNST in the OP.

Nice, now Nick might return in 4 weeks.

I believe the Rumor stems from this thread.

Simply speculation. Not like WNST has any credibility.

More proof that WNST aren't real reporters. Reporters who have to get this from two sources before even mentioning it. All they need to do is read a thread on the Sun's website. They're such a joke.

That's how I've always understood it, too.

On the pre-game today, Jim Hunter said if they aquire a player now, via trade, that player would have to be on a 40-man roster before Sept. 1 in order to be eligible for post season play. So, if the O's aquire Juan Pierre, he could get on the post season roster because he was on the Phillies 40-man before 9/1. Of course, he would have to replace someone that goes on the DL.

Pierre was used as a pinch hitter in the Phillies night cap

I live in Philly and these people looooove Juan Pierre. Supposedly, he is a pro's pro and he's still very effective.

Having him and McLouth go 1-2 would be a great idea. He is making less than a mils I don't know if he passes through waivers.

Yeah...that's how we know he sucks.
