Final round of promotions?

Lebron could have been up sooner, along with Dorrian, but getting to see them this last week of the season could be good.

Nice reward for these guys, though I suspect some of them might have been just as happy to go home.

They get an extra week of pay (and a raise at that.)

I wonder if all three might be sent to the AFL. Keep them sharp for that makes some sense.

Dorrian took the Golden Sombrero in his first AAA game.  Grenier went 0 for 3 with a walk.

Don’t players have to be in the AAA roster to protect them from the milb portion of the rule 5 draft?  That could be why we saw these three get promoted.

That would also indicate they are not going on the 40.

No, they can be assigned in the offseason to the AAA roster, they need not actually play in AAA to be protected in the AAA portion of the Rule 5 draft.

Of the three, I think Grenier might be protected. I could see him being selected and kept for his glove. I’m not sure they would keep him on the 40 along with Martin, Urias, Mateo, Jam Jones and Bannon. Would you rather have Bannon or Grenier? Bannon or Gutierrez for that matter? 

Lebron’s command is not great, but a nice k rate. I do not think he’ll be on the 40. Dorrian, I do not think he is protected on the 40. 

They could have easily added them to the AAA roster after the World Series. No need to do it now to protect them from minor league R5. This is more information, data collection, to make those decisions.
