Lefty Chris Lee, RHPS Andrew Triggs, and Parker Bridwell were added to the 40 man roster today

[clapdiddy]

I do too.

Anyone that can beat the crap out of Daryl Strawberry is OK in my book!

Showalter thinks that Triggs can pitch in the majors this year.

"It probably sounds silly, but I've tasted it since I was 12 years old. I mean, it's nice to be this close. If you look at it objectively, as an outside observer, you are a little bit closer. For me, this has been in my head longer than I can remember. I'm just going to continue to do what I've been doing for the last 10-plus years and keep picking out one or two things every single day to work on and keep working toward that goal. I honestly don?t look at it much different from any time in years past, but I'm not silly enough to think that things aren't different than they were at this time last year or the year before," Triggs said.

So we lose another potential nugget to sign another DH

1. Trumbo

2. Wieters (assuming his arm continues to bother him)

3. Alvarez

4. Paredes (why was he kept on 40 man roster exposing Triggs)

5. Riemold (why is he still on the roster?)

6. Kim

That's 6 players who will likely not contribute defensively to the club.

He'll do GREAT out in that Oakland pitching park with all that foul territory.

So would Chaz Roe or any other pitcher for that matter.

Absolutely. Even Jeremy Guthrie.

Technically a player can decline to be accepted on release waivers and become a free agent. But this is a solid landing spot got Triggs

[TheBee]

Disappointing but expected.

I'd love to hear the logic for exposing him instead of Parades.

There are a couple of players I would have exposed before Triggs, but that is just me...

You never answered Crazysilver's question from the Pedro Alvarez thread:

Did you even know who Triggs was before the offseason?

You are allowed to release injured players?
