If they thought so lowly of Gunkel, I don't get why he was added in the first place. 

Didn't want to lose him to the rule 5 draft

It was as strange 40-man add honestly, but then again, they lost no one in the Rule 5 so it's not like it mattered. Maybe Buck just wanted to get eyes on after some conflicting reports on him. It was pretty obvious where he stood when he was sent out of camp so early.

Yeah, but losing him to waivers is worse than the rule 5 draft. If he would have been taken, he would have been returned given this spring and would currently be pitching at Bowie.

Yeah, probably.

Gunkel has since been DFA'd by the Dodgers and claimed by the Marlins.

Funny that the last comment was from me ^

Came across Joe Gunkel's page on BR and is it just me or does Gunkel look like a carbon copy of Darren O'Day?
