Everth Cabrera can't be optioned without his consent

I thought it was 172 or 173 days for service time? If not than maybe BBref is wrong about his service time.

It could be the 172, that still wouldn't get him close to 5.0 if BR is correct.

Would be nice if they could send him down.

172 days of service time in a full season.

172 -144 = 28 days of service time to get to 5 years.

So BR lists ST as Y.D?

That is odd but makes sense with the results.

I have never been one to worry overmuch about service time.

I am thinking his time might be over anyway. Not the smartest baseball player and I am sure Buck has taken notice. I would be surprised if he actually had all 20 days on a rehab assignment.

It's a good way to show him off to a team that wouldn't mind spending money on him.

He doesn't get paid if he refuses the assignment does he? Also his deferred adjudication? What does quitting your job do for the probation requirements?

Pretty sure what he has done at the major league level this year outweighs what he does at AAA.

Pretty sure he plays at Norfolk.

Within 35 days -- 15 days on the DL and a 20-day rehab -- they should know whether or not he's necessary for the rest of the season.

How does Janish compare defensively?

Janish is more than adequate at SS and they have Navarro also who is much more comfortable at SS than 2B. Cabrera is not necessary unless they decide they aren't going to eat his remaining salary.

It is 172. I can't see the Orioles eating that contract. Unless there was a handshake deal with Cabrera I can't see him getting sent down.

Good question about the money. People assumed Webb would not get paid and he did.

Why not? It's $2.4 million, not $10.

[Can_of_corn]

Less even since some of the money has already been paid.

We gave up a pick to save 2.some million earlier.. apparently we can't just eat it. Or at least it seems that way at the moment.

We gave up a pick and got Ben Rowen and Chris O'Brien.
