Orioles Claim Snelten

[Rene88]

There was a thread on likely traded players and I stated Bleier. To me, at the very least, thisxmeans they will be looking to do exactly that.

I can think of a dozen names we could drop.

Off of the 25 man alone.

The Orioles must be looking to corner the market on DJs. Maybe they can rent Snelten out to play weddings if he flames out at the MLB level.

Doesn't matter to me.

The 40-man is now full.

Beckham, Britton and Ynoa are on the 60 day DL.

At a minimum, there'll be 1 cut when Britton returns.

If there are no trades before then, there will be a number of candidates competing to yield their spot for Britton.

Vielma should be on the 60 Day DL and will be soon. Rasmus should of been 60'ed.

Someone will be DFA'ed (maybe Susac as they have a glut of catchers in Frederick and Bowie, in favor of Audrey Perez taking over in Norfolk.)

I think they will DFA him very soon. Don't you? He made it all through the National League. Maybe have a DFA party someday.

They should, especially with Britton coming back soon.

So we had room on our 40 man?

Yeah, 1 spot. But 2 other spots taken up by people that should be 60 day DL (Vielma) and one that should of been (Rasmus.)

Plus, Susac...

6'7, 93. Who knows. Maybe a tweak makes him Andrew Miller. 

LOL PLEASE say it's SOOO... Miller was the one guy I wanted so bad I could taste it when he left. I know its different now, and possibley not money well spent, Yada Yada, but OMG he just made hitters look like fools while he was here.

I agree that there were only 39 on the 40 roster  and the Snelten will make it 40.  Britton  will not be activation until the 15th according the last report I heard.  Vielma  will probably not go on the  60 day because he is currently on the minor league DL.  If the put him on the  major league 60 day DL they have to pay him.  I don't see the O's doing that.

Chris Lee was bad last year and worse this year.   He probably will pass through waivers if DFA'd.  If he doesn't, no great loss.

I hate this windup. 

Like a lanky country boy with a bucket of milk in one hand.

I think Rasmus and Beckham and Britton are all on 60 day and we had an open spot when we made our last claim and promptly DFA/outrighted.

Now see. I like that look.

Maybe they thought they were claiming Blake Shelton (he says only half jokingly).

Wind-up is like a left-handed Dick Hall. It'd be nice if he were nearly that good. Hall had extraordinary control and hit well for a pitcher (was a converted OF'er)--even remember him PH'ing once in a long while for the O's.
