Minor League Transactions



This time: June 22-27

The numbers in parentheses denote draft round, of course, and I encourage one and all to check out our Draft Database. It's the easiest place on the Web to find out, 1) who drafted whom, and from which school and which state, and 2) which players have signed. That's all free. Subscribers can visit the Advanced Draft Database, which has scouting reports and bonus information for all the top picks. The ADD also lets the reader sort by school, state and position.

An asterisk (*) denotes an instance of a player agreeing to terms on a minor league contract with an organization with which he already had a major league agreement.

RHP Corey Davisson (NDFA—Evansville)

Removed from 40-man: C Clint Sammons (Triple-A)
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Craig Kimbrel, SS Diory Hernandez

Baltimore Orioles
Draft picks signed:
RHP Travis Strong (39), LHP Cameron Roth (29), C Joe Velleggia (40), C Riley Hornback (12), C Tanner Murphy (22), OF Chris Clinton (23), OF Trent Mummey (4)
Traded: RHP Ross Wolf to Athletics for OF Jake Fox
Recalled: RHP Brad Bergesen
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Chris Tillman
Designated for assignment: RHP Cla Meredith
Option transferred: SS Pedro Florimon (Double-A to high Class A)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Brandon Erbe, RHP Randy Henry, C Jason Stifler, C Zach Booker, 1B T.J. Baxter
Transferred to 60-day DL: RHP Jeancarlos Reyes
Reinstated from DL: RHP Andy Mitchell, C Justin Dalles, 1B Tyler Townsend, SS Pedro Florimon, OF L.J. Hoes

The A's carved out room on their 40-man roster this spring to keep 27-year-old Jake Fox, who was out of options, designating him as backup catcher, righty-hitting DH and occasional player at third base and in left field. But the experiment ended badly when Fox batted just .214/.264/.327 in 98 at-bats, prompting Oakland to designate him for assignment in hopes of finding a trade partner. Baltimore stepped in and took a worthwhile gamble in exchanging Ross Wolf, a Triple-A reliever with fringy stuff and peripherals, for Fox, who could develop into a cheap power source.

Boston Red Sox
Signed:
RHP Jay Broughton (Calgary (Golden)), C Trey Lucas (NDFA—Austin Peay State)
Draft picks signed: RHP Jacob Dahlstrand (10), RHP Jason Garcia (17), OF Henry Ramos (5)
Traded: LHP Fabian Williamson to Athletics for OF Eric Patterson
Recalled: LHP Fabio Castro, SS Angel Sanchez, OF Josh Reddick
Placed on 7-day DL: C Carson Blair, C Dusty Brown, OF Jason Place
Placed on 60-day DL: RHP Jennell Hudson, RHP Kyle Stroup
Reinstated from DL: OF Ryan Kalish
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Robert Manuel, OF Josh Reddick
Reinstated from inactive list: OF Jason Place

As they did with Jake Fox, the A's made room on their roster this spring for the out-of-options Eric Patterson. But with the impending return of Coco Crisp, not to mention Patterson's .204/.255/.408 line in 103 at-bats, Oakland decided to cut bait and designate the left fielder for assignment. The Red Sox offered up 21-year-old lefty Fabian Williamson, whom they had acquired from the Mariners in a similar DFA trade involving David Aardsma. Williamson is your standard-fare, three-pitch lefty who sits in the mid- to high 80s and keeps batters off balance with his curveball. His strikeout rate slipped from 8.7 per nine innings in low Class A last year to 5.5 with high Class A Salem this season.

Red Sox pro scouting director Allard Baird signed Jay Broughton away from the Golden League, where the Ball State product went 2-2, 4.01 with 23 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings. Interestingly enough, former Red Sox's indy find Morgan Burkhart served as Broughton's manager with Calgary.

Chicago Cubs
Draft picks signed:
RHP Colin Richardson (14), C Micah Gibbs (3)
Released: 3B Bobby Wagner
Added to 40-man roster: RHP Brian Schlitter
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Jeff Stevens
Option transferred: RHP Rafael Dolis (high Class A to Double-A)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Melvin Rosa, LHP Drew Rundle, OF Dong-Yub Kim, OF Manuel Pestana
Placed on temporarily inactive list: LHP Hunter Ackerman

Continuing the theme of DFA trades, the Cubs acquired Brian Schlitter from the Phillies in August ’08 when they unloaded Scott Eyre. Schlitter, 24, ran up a solid 31-to-10 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 33 innings for Triple-A Iowa. In fact, the Cubs have leaned hard on the Iowa bullpen this season, making use of Justin Berg, Andrew Cashner, Jeff Gray, James Russell and Jeff Stevens in addition to Schlitter.

Chicago White Sox
Signed:
LHP Stephen Huff (NDFA—Austin Peay State)
Draft picks signed: RHP Kevin Moran (9), LHP Chris Sale (1)
Released: RHP Chris Zagyi, C Dylan Tonneson
Traded: C Jared Price to Athletics for SS Michael Richard
Added to 40-man roster: LHP Erick Threets
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Dan Remenowsky, OF A.J. Casario, OF Marcus Spencer
Placed on 60-day DL: RHP Danny Wiltz
Reinstated from DL: C Josh Phegley

Chris Sale signed for $1.656 million and earned a ticket straight to high Class A Winston-Salem. That's one rung higher than the route taken by Chicago first-rounders Jared Mitchell (’09) and Gordon Beckham (’08) when they signed out of college.

Cincinnati Reds
Signed:
OF Gary Matthews Jr.
Draft picks signed: RHP Kevin Arico (10), RHP Lucas O'Rear (13)
Released: LHP Daryl Harang, 2B Chris Burke, OF Ayeudi Felipe
Recalled: LHP Bill Bray
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Sam LeCure
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Nick Christiani, SS Miguel Rojas
Placed on 60-day DL: 3B Miguel Chacoa
Reinstated from DL: OF Danny Dorn
Placed on temporarily inactive list: RHP Scott Carroll

Cleveland Indians
Signed:
2B Luis Valbuena*
Draft pick signed: RHP Owen Dew (21)
Traded: 1B Russell Branyan and cash or a player to be named to Mariners for SS Juan Diaz and OF Ezequiel Carrera
Recalled: RHP Joe Smith, LHP Aaron Laffey, 1B Matt LaPorta
Designated for assignment: RHP Shane Lindsay
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Jensen Lewis, 2B Luis Valbuena, OF Ezequiel Carrera
Placed on 7-day DL: LHP Eric Berger, OF Ezequiel Carrera
Reinstated from DL: RHP Zach Putnam

Colorado Rockies
Draft picks signed:
RHP Russell Brewer (31), SS Josh Rutledge (3)
Released: LHP Damian Moss
Removed from 40-man: RHP Juan Rincon (Triple-A)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Michael Marbry, RHP Sean Jarrett
Reinstated from DL: OF Brian Rike
Reinstated from inactive list: RHP Sean Jarrett

Detroit Tigers
Draft picks signed:
RHP Jordan Pratt (16), RHP Patrick Cooper (14)
Released: 1B Ron Bourquin, OF Ben Johnson, OF Josh Burrus
Placed on restricted list: RHP Nolan Moody
Recalled: RHP Jay Sborz
Added to 40-man roster: LHP Andy Oliver
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Jay Sborz
Option transferred: RHP Jacob Turner (low Class A to high Class A)
Placed on 7-day DL: 2B Scott Sizemore, SS Audy Ciriaco
Reinstated from DL: RHP Brayan Villarreal, 3B Bryan Pounds

Ron Bourquin batted .237/.366/.390 in 59 at-bats since returning from his 50-game drug suspension.

Jacob Turner, the high school first-rounder last year who signed a big league deal, made quick work of low Class A, going 2-3, 3.67 in 11 games for West Michigan. He struck out 51 and walked nine in 54 innings. Andy Oliver, the club's second-round pick, put the entire minor leagues behind him, going 6-4, 3.61 in 14 starts for Double-A Erie, while notching 70 strikeouts in 77 innings.

Florida Marlins
Signed:
RHP Armando Benitez (Newark (Atlantic))
Draft pick signed: RHP Jeremy Heatley (22)
Released: LHP Hunter Jones, OF Chris Dunn
Placed on disqualified list: RHP Daniel Gil
Added to 40-man roster: RHP Alejandro Sanabia, RHP Jose Veras, LHP James Houser
Removed from 40-man: RHP Jorge Sosa (Triple-A)
Option transferred: RHP Jay Buente (Triple-A to Double-A), RHP Jose Ceda (low Class A to Double-A)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Jay Buente, RHP Kasey Olenberger, RHP Ryan Tucker, SS Javier Guzman, SS Terrence Dayleg
Placed on 60-day DL: LHP Forrest Moore
Reinstated from DL: 3B Paul Gran, OF Chad Cregar
Reinstated from inactive list: RHP Ryan Tucker

Houston Astros
Signed:
2B Mike Affronti, 2B Ramon Vazquez
Draft picks signed: RHP Vincent Velasquez (2), LHP Evan Grills (10)
Acquired: 1B Tommy Everidge from Mariners for future considerations
Acquired: 2B Luis Maza from Phillies for future considerations
Placed on restricted list: LHP Gabriel Garcia, OF Devon Torrence
Granted free agency: OF Cory Sullivan
Recalled: 3B Chris Johnson, SS Oswaldo Navarro
Added to 40-man roster: RHP Josh Banks, C Jason Castro, OF Jason Bourgeois
Removed from 40-man: RHP Casey Daigle (Triple-A), C Kevin Cash (Triple-A), OF Cory Sullivan (Triple-A)
Optioned to Triple-A: LHP Wesley Wright
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Jared Wells, RHP Juri Perez, RHP Raul Rivera, RHP Sergio Perez, LHP Kilby Pena, C Alfredo Gonzalez, C Luis Alvarez
Placed on 60-day DL: RHP B.J. Hyatt, OF Kellen Kiilsgaard
Placed on temporarily inactive list: RHP Erick Abreu, C Carlos Mojica
Reinstated from inactive list: RHP Erick Abreu

Kansas City Royals
Signed:
RHP J.J. Leaper
Draft picks signed: SS Christian Colon (1), SS Mike Antonio (3)
Released: RHP Jorge Campillo, LHP Adam Bostick
Placed on 7-day DL: LHP Edgar Osuna, C Juan Graterol, OF Damon Hollins
Reinstated from DL: RHP Jairo Cuevas, RHP Jorge Campillo, LHP Brandon Barrow
Placed on temporarily inactive list: RHP Matt Mitchell

The fourth overall pick this year, Christian Colon signed quickly for $2.75 million and reported to high Class A Wilmington, where he's went 0-for-12 to begin his career.

Kansas City allowed Adam Bostick to serve out his 50-game drug suspension but released him as soon as it ended.

Los Angeles Angels
Signed:
RHP Joe Melioris (NDFA—Polk (Fla.) CC)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Jon Bachanov, RHP Kevin Nabors, 2B Ivan Contreras, 2B Nate Sutton, 2B Ryan Mount, SS Gary Patchett
Reinstated from DL: C Anel de los Santos, SS Adam Younger

It appears that the Angels have cornered the market on talent from the Mohawk Valley region of New York state. Melioris signed out of community college, yes, but not before graduating from Rome (N.Y.) Catholic High, where his father Joe Sr. is coach. Elsewhere in the system, lefty Pat Corbin, an ’09 second-round pick from Chipola (Fla.) JC, had vaulted to high Class A Rancho Cucamonga, going 10-2, 3.86 with a 3.6-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio through 15 starts. He attended Mohawk Valley CC in Utica, N.Y., before transferring to Chipola.

Los Angeles Dodgers
Signed:
RHP Jesus Colome, LHP Jack Taschner
Draft picks signed: RHP Logan Bawcom (17), OF Bobby Coyle (10)
Placed on restricted list: OF Prentice Redman
Recalled: RHP Jon Link
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Jon Link, RHP Travis Schlichting, SS Chin-lung Hu
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Andres Santiago, RHP Eric Thompson, RHP Sung-Wei Tseng, RHP Tim Corcoran, LHP Cody White, LHP Geison Aguasviva, C Esteban Lopez, C Keyter Collado, 1B Brenton Calfee, 1B Dustin Yount, 1B Kyle Orr
Reinstated from DL: LHP Jordan Roberts, 3B Pedro Baez
Reinstated from inactive list: OF Andrew Lambo

Jesus Colome and Jack Taschner join the growing list of recently discarded pitchers who have signed on to pitch at Triple-A Albuquerque, a list that includes Luis Ayala, Kiko Calero and Claudio Vargas. The Isotopes have used an astounding 35 pitchers so far this season, though that includes rehab stints by Vicente Padilla and George Sherrill as well as position players like Timo Perez and Ramon Nivar getting into the act.

Prentice Redman will sit for 50 games after testing positive for an amphetamine. Too bad. He was having a great year.

Milwaukee Brewers
Signed:
LHP Tony Butler
Draft picks signed: RHP Jimmy Nelson (2), RHP R.J. Johnson (36), LHP Thomas Keeling (18)
Released: RHP Brian Bruney, LHP A.J. Murray
Placed on 7-day DL: LHP Casey Baron, LHP Tony Butler, C Martin Maldonado, 3B Wayne Dedrick, OF Juan Barrini
Reinstated from DL: RHP Mike McClendon, OF Drew Anderson

Tony Butler grew up in Oak Creek, Wis., just outside Milwaukee, which made him a natural target for the Brewers following his release by the Orioles. He played for the low Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in ’07, while with the Mariners, and he could be headed back to Appleton later this season.

Minnesota Twins
Signed:
2B D'Angelo Jimenez (Yucatan (Mexican))
Draft picks signed: RHP Nathan Fawbush (21), RHP Nick Alloway (35), SS Niko Goodrum (2), OF Nate Roberts (5)
Released: RHP Hernan Colmenarez
Placed on restricted list: 2B Yancarlo Franco
Added to 40-man roster: OF Jason Repko
Removed from 40-man: 3B Brendan Harris (Triple-A)
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Jeff Manship
Placed on 7-day DL: SS Jairo Perez
Reinstated from DL: RHP Bobby Lanigan, RHP Brad Tippett, RHP Bruce Pugh

New York Mets
Traded:
RHP Clint Everts to Blue Jays as player to be named in trade for OF Jorge Padilla
Placed on suspended list: RHP Scott Shaw
Recalled: RHP Bobby Parnell, C Josh Thole
Optioned to Triple-A: LHP Raul Valdes
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Dan McDonald, RHP Jake Goldberg, RHP Michael Johnson, RHP Nick Abbott, RHP Trey Rackel, RHP Tyler Howe, RHP Zach Von Tersch, LHP Brian Valenzuela, LHP Steve Matz, C Omir Santos, 3B Eric Campbell, SS Luis Rivera
Transferred to 60-day DL: RHP Nick Abbott, LHP Brian Valenzuela, LHP Steve Matz
Placed on temporarily inactive list: LHP Angel Calero
Reinstated from inactive list: LHP Angel Calero

New York Yankees
Draft picks signed:
RHP Dustin Hobbs (21), C Tyler Austin (13), OF Jake Anderson (7)
Released: RHP Brad Rulon
Removed from 40-man: C Chad Moeller (Triple-A)
Option transferred: RHP Andrew Brackman (high Class A to Double-A)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Kelvin Perez, 1B Juan Miranda
Reinstated from DL: RHP Adam Warren, RHP Ben Watkins, RHP Jose Ramirez

Oakland Athletics
Released:
2B Mike Affronti
Traded: OF Jake Fox to Orioles for RHP Ross Wolf
Traded: OF Eric Patterson to Red Sox for LHP Fabian Williamson
Traded: SS Michael Richard to White Sox for C Jared Price
Placed on 7-day DL: C Anthony Recker
Reinstated from DL: SS Jason Christian, OF David Thomas

The A's took special care this spring to carry Jake Fox and Eric Patterson, both of whom were out of options, but when neither hit as expected, they were shipped to AL East clubs. See the Orioles and Red Sox entries above for more on Ross Wolf and Fabian Williamson.

Philadelphia Phillies
Signed:
RHP Juan Sandoval
Draft picks signed: RHP Jake Borup (23), C Cameron Rupp (3), SS Stephen Malcolm (8)
Released: RHP Josh Fogg
Traded: 2B Luis Maza to Astros for future considerations
Acquired: OF Chris Aguila from Blue Jays for future considerations
Voluntarily retired: OF Winder Torres
Recalled: LHP Mike Zagurski
Added to 40-man roster: RHP Nelson Figueroa
Removed from 40-man: 3B Greg Dobbs (Triple-A)
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Scott Mathieson
Placed on 7-day DL: LHP David Noles, OF Gauntlett Eldemire, OF Tyson Gillies
Reinstated from DL: C Paul Hoover, SS Jeremy Barnes
Placed on temporarily inactive list: C Kevin Nelson

Pittsburgh Pirates
Signed:
2B Akinori Iwamura*, 2B Yung Chi Chen
Draft picks signed: RHP James Archibald (36), 1B Justin Howard (24)
Released: RHP Jimmy Barthmaier
Recalled: RHP Daniel McCutchen, RHP Steven Jackson
Added to 40-man roster: LHP Justin Thomas
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Steven Jackson, 2B Akinori Iwamura
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Jeff Inman, C Milver Reyes, 1B Justin Howard, OF Wes Freeman
Reinstated from DL: RHP Diego Moreno, SS Jose de los Santos
Reinstated from inactive list: OF Cole White

Not to belittle Yung Chi Chen, who ranked as the Mariners' No. 9 prospect in ’07 and is a veteran of the ’06 World Baseball Classic, but the headline writer for Focus Taiwan is probably alone in his estimation of Chen as a "slugger." His career high for home runs in a season is eight, while he's slugged .374 and .337 in Double-A and Triple-A.

Another former Mariner, Justin Thomas paced all Triple-A International League relievers with 0.78 walks per nine innings for Indianapolis. His .157 opponent average ranked second. The Pirates claimed him on waivers last October.

St. Louis Cardinals
Signed:
RHP Ricky Martinez (NDFA—Nova Southeastern (Fla.))
Draft pick signed: OF Reggie Williams Jr. (10)
Released: LHP Rich Hill
Placed on restricted list: RHP Shaun Garceau
Recalled: RHP Adam Ottavino
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Fernando Salas
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Matt Frevert, RHP Pete Parise, 3B Rich Racobaldo
Reinstated from DL: RHP Miguel Tapia, RHP Trey Hearne, C Nick Derba, SS Luis Mateo, OF Mark Shorey
Placed on temporarily inactive list: RHP Cory Rauschenberger
Reinstated from inactive list: RHP Cory Rauschenberger, RHP Shaun Garceau

Birds of a feather flock together. Not only did the Cardinals come to terms with 10th-rounder Reggie Williams Jr., son of the former big leaguer of the same name, but they also signed Ricky Martinez, the son of Dennis "El Presidente" Martinez, who won 245 games in 23-year career. These days, Dennis serves as pitching coach for Double-A Springfield.

San Diego Padres
Released:
OF Matt Vern
Acquired: C Kyle Phillips from Blue Jays for future considerations
Placed on restricted list: RHP John Hussey
Optioned to Triple-A: C Dusty Ryan
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP John Hussey, 2B Josh Barfield
Placed on 60-day DL: RHP James Needy
Reinstated from DL: RHP Jeremy McBryde
Reinstated from inactive list: OF Matt Vern

San Francisco Giants
Signed:
C Mike Murray (NDFA—Wake Forest)
Draft picks signed: RHP Brett Bochy (20), RHP Mark Christman (13), RHP Ryan Bean (17), C Eric Sim (27), C Joe Staley (8), OF Chuckie Jones (7), OF Devin Harris (48)
Released: SS Angel Berroa
Recalled: LHP Madison Bumgarner
Optioned to Triple-A: RHP Joe Martinez, 2B Emmanuel Burriss
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Brandon Medders, RHP Brett Bochy, C Aaron Lowenstein, 2B Nick Noonan
Reinstated from DL: SS Juan Ciriaco

Seattle Mariners
Signed:
RHP Bryan Leigh (NDFA—Massachusetts), RHP Ian Snell*, RHP Jarett Attard (NDFA—Cal Poly Pomona), RHP Joe Nelson, RHP Lance Abbott (NDFA—Sacramento State)
Traded: SS Juan Diaz and OF Ezequiel Carrera to Indians for 1B Russell Branyan and cash or a player to be named
Traded: 1B Tommy Everidge to Astros for future considerations
Added to 40-man roster: RHP David Pauley
Optioned to Triple-A: C Adam Moore, 1B Mike Carp
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Mumba Rivera, 3B Jharmidy DeJesus
Reinstated from DL: OF Ezequiel Carrera, OF Maximo Mendez
Placed on temporarily inactive list: RHP Andy Baldwin
Reinstated from inactive list: RHP Andy Baldwin

Lance Abbott is the son of 11-year big league veteran Paul Abbott, who pitched for the Mariners from ’98 through ’02.

Tampa Bay Rays
Signed:
RHP D.J. Johnson (NDFA—Western Oregon State), RHP Yorman Mayora, C Marcos Torres (NDFA—Felician (N.J.))
Draft picks signed: RHP George Jensen (46), RHP Merrill Kelly (8), LHP Brandon Henderson (15), LHP C.J. Riefenhauser (20)
Placed on restricted list: LHP Stepan Havlicek
Voluntarily retired: RHP Woods Fines
Recalled: OF Matt Joyce
Optioned to Triple-A: C Dioner Navarro
Reinstated from DL: RHP Woods Fines, SS Shawn O'Malley
Reinstated from inactive list: SS J.J. Furmaniak

The signings of D.J. Johnson and Marcos Torres as undrafted college seniors brings the Rays' NDFA count to 13, tops among all clubs according to my records. The Blue Jays and Royals are next with eight signings apiece. Not surprisingly, the majority of NFDAs are either pitchers or catchers who can help shepherd a short-season club through the year.

Texas Rangers
Draft pick signed:
RHP Andres Perez-Lobo (23)
Released: C Toby Hall, 1B Wes Bankston
Recalled: RHP Warner Madrigal
Removed from 40-man: RHP Warner Madrigal (Triple-A)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Andrew Laughter, RHP Brandon McCarthy, RHP Tim Steggall, C Alberto Puello, 2B Jason Ogata, 3B Lee Soto, SS Luis Sardinas, OF Edward Alfonzo, OF Jared Prince
Reinstated from DL: RHP Omar Beltre, LHP Kasey Kiker, LHP Michael Ballard, C Toby Hall, OF Cody Podraza

Toronto Blue Jays
Signed:
3B Edwin Encarnacion*
Draft pick signed: LHP Art Charles (20)
Acquired: RHP Clint Everts from Mets as player to be named in trade of OF Jorge Padilla
Traded: C Kyle Phillips to Padres for future considerations
Traded: OF Chris Aguila to Phillies for future considerations
Placed on restricted list: LHP Tyler Ybarra
Recalled: 2B Jarrett Hoffpauir
Removed from 40-man: 3B Edwin Encarnacion (Triple-A)
Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Bobby Bell, RHP Dumas Garcia, RHP Scott Richmond, C Alberto Quintana, 2B Jon Del Campo, OF Johnny Roberts
Placed on 60-day DL: RHP Denny Valdez, RHP Felix Moreno, LHP Kenllie Santana, SS Nick Bidois
Reinstated from DL: C Kyle Phillips, 2B Justin McClanahan, OF Aaron Mathews, OF Moises Sierra

Washington Nationals

C Dan Killian, 3B Alexander Romero, OF Jesus Morales
Placed on 7-day DL: LHP Austin Garrett, LHP Yunior Novoa, SS Wilberto Ortiz, OF Rick Hughes
Placed on 60-day DL: C Ricardo Martinez
Reinstated from DL: RHP Carlos Martinez, LHP Jack Spradlin, SS Ofilio Castro

What is the disqualified list?? Everyone had been trying to figure out where Daniel Gil is and u guys say he is on that
Thanks

Leaper (KC) was on the roster of Florence of the Frontier League, but was suspended.

Looks like the Nationals have signed former Pirates RHP Jimmy Barthmaier. He pitched for them in the GCL on Wednesday
