 Well I guess that’s okay.

The only thing I saw with Yefry was some deception in his delivery and he isn't 30. He didn't have good stuff in my opinion. Givens and Scott have good stuff but the results haven't quite been there due to command. Those are guys you give lots of chances to.

He fell out of favor REAL quick.

Was he ever in favor?

Somewhere @wildcard is pouring out a little liquor.

I thought when he was DFA'd he was gone.   Doesn't make a lot of sense to me that they DFA'd him.

Could of slipped him through and got him to Norfolk, to clear up a 40 spot.

Maybe he was going to be claimed. The Orioles were able to trade him even if the return ends up being a batting tee.

Good luck with the pirates, he may actually do better in the National League. Now he can work with Chris Archer...Working with Sterling Archer would be more fun

He was never going to slip through.  25 year old,  successful at AA and AAA.   Has an option left.  Most teams are looking for pitching.

And the Pirates are still looking. Ramirez made it through all the way through the American League, And probably halfway through the National League before the pirates got him. I wouldn’t call that bountiful confidence in his potential.

I thought we traded him through the Pirates.   Don't think that he ever got to waivers.  When you DFA someone there is a specific period you have to try to trade them BEFORE the waivers take place.

Ramirez did not go through waivers.  The O's traded him instead.   The Pirates wanted him so bad they out bid the other 29 teams to get him.

I did not know that, thank you for the clarification. I thought that when he was DFA-ed, He instantly went on waivers, which was a 10 day period during which he could be traded while going through the waiver process.

So you’re saying that when he’s designated there is a period of time only for trading or not trading, after which he goes to the waiver process?

That kind of begs the question of why didn’t we get more if they wanted him so bad? It also begs the question of why in God’s name did they want him so bad?
