Who comes off the roster on Monday?

Steve's a rotation candidate. Junior Lake is AAA, not even AAAA, just AAA.

No he isn't. He's 28 and has accumulated 5.1 IP in the majors the last two seasons.

If Steve Johnson is a rotation candidate, this team is in deeper trouble than I ever dreamed of.

In what sense is Johnson a rotation candidate? He made one start this past year and it was an emergency start that wasnt particularly long.

It's true that a lot has to go wrong for Johnson to inserted in the rotation, but the point here is they should designate Lake, don't wait until Monday, do it now.

If that is your point, then leave it at that, there is no need to exaggerate for some asinine possibility.

According to this article all the free agents do.

Free agency begins in earnest. The Orioles? six free agents -- left-handed starter Wei-Yin Chen, first baseman Chris Davis, right-handed reliever Darren O?Day, outfielder Gerardo Parra, infielder/outfielder Steve Pearce and catcher Matt Wieters -- will officially be removed from the team?s 40-man roster at 9 a.m. Monday, thus officially becoming free agents.

The Orioles have exclusive negotiating rights with those six players for the next five days, until Friday at 11:59 p.m. local time. Other teams can express their interest in those players, but can?t talk money until Saturday, when they officially are free to talk terms with the other 29 teams. The Orioles have had extension discussions with some of their six pending free agents since their season ended, but not with all of them, according to industry sources.

Teams also have until Nov. 20 at 11:59 p.m. local time to add players to their 40-man rosters to protect them from the Rule 5 draft, which will occur on Dec. 10 on the final day of the winter meetings in Nashville.

The Royals saved them from having to make a decision. Glad to see they fixed the article. The first edition this morning said they all come off the roster on Thursday. It made no sense.
