What's Ryan Flaherty's contract situation? Can they release him the same way they did Miguel Gonzalez last year and save the 1.8 mil?

I believe, and I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong, they'd have to pay Flaherty $180k if they give him the Gonzalez treatment.

Considering that Giavotella has never played 1B, 3B or OF in the majors, and has all of one inning at SS, he'd need to prove his versatility before we'd release Flash.   He did play some 3B and LF in the minors, but no 1B or SS.    So he's really a shorter (5'8"), less versatile, RH version of Flaherty.   I'd put his odds of making the team at 10%.

PS -- Should I feel bad that I've literally never heard of the guy?
