Question about Garcia

[doctorbj]

This may sound crazy, but-

before putting him on disabled list, could we have ?

1.offered him back to Red Sox, with everyone knowing that he has tendonitis,

2.perhaps have gotten him through waivers, etc, since he is hurt and no one would keep him on 25 man roster,

3. and then sent him down if the Red Sox declined.

1. Yes, but we wouldn't do that. Dan obviously likes him.

2. He wouldn't have cleared waivers.

3. The Red Sox would never decline to take him back.

If anything it would be MORE difficult to get him through waivers at this point because a team could just put him on the DL for the foreseeable future.

Good question though.

Yeah a team declining to take someone back usually only happens when it was a minor league free agent that got picked. Prospects almost always go back. Mets took Verrett back in a heartbeat.

Is he not with Texas anymore?

No. He is a regular minor leaguer again. Not on the 40 man roster.

Verrett was DFAed near the end of April and cleared waivers and was returned to the Mets about 10 days ago.

2 things on Garcia:

1. Palmer the other night said the amount of time he has to be on the roster excludes September, meaning September doesn't count towards the time he has to be on the roster. I believe this is incorrect, but I am sure others heard this so wanted to clarify to be 100% sure.

2. Britt was just on MASN and said the Orioles are going to have a very hard time keeping Garcia. It sounded to me like she thinks he will be offered back at some point. Just wanted to relay.

I believe Palmer is wrong on that but I thought the same before. If the Os can't keep Garcia, he will get claimed before he makes it to Boston. Orioles have already done so much of the hard work in keeping him.

Palmer is wrong.

There is nothing that says outright that September counts, but there is also nothing that says it doesn't count.

Here is a Baseball America Q&A that clearly indicates that September days count.

I was wondering how many others heard that the other night. Thanks for clarifying. Maybe I'll shoot Roch a note to confirm 110%.

On (1) perhaps he is misunderstanding or misspoke regarding what others have Sid about September not being an issue because of roster expansion? Just a thought.
