Howard, the ESPN transactions page does a pretty good job of keeping track of none 40-man roster minor league players, but it only states that they have been sent to minor league camps. I guess their ultimate destination is up to the individual clubs..

@Howard You won't find finalized minor league rosters anywhere until Opening Day, and even the optional assignments listed here are not necessarily binding. Some of the minor league teams' websites track rosters pretty well. For example, the Trenton Thunder and Portland Sea Dogs.

I had a question. I see that mentioned here are all the players on the 40 man rosters and where they have been optioned to. Where can i go to look and see where non 40 man players are being assigned to?

@Lauren

I fixed the Villalona link. Thanks.

We receive transactions updates from MLB once a week, so that dictates our publishing schedule. Certain times of year are busier than others—such as late spring training—but I think a weekly is an appropriate interval at which to take stock of minor league transactions.

Just to let you know, your link for the Angel Villalona visa thing is broken. It has a few extra characters at the beginning and the end. It should be just http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/giants-talk/post/EXTRA-BAGGS-Villalona-optioned-to-Single?blockID=671488&feedID=2796 And do we have to wait another week for the next list of transactions?? I'm really anxious to see the minor leaguers who have been released this week. BTW, thanks for doing these lists every week, I really appreciate it. :)
