2012 Minor League Transactions

[dougdirt]

I've counted multiple times and I still get 24 on the Bats' roster. Am I crazy?

You might be.... but it isn't because you can't count

That's correct. I'm guessing Wuertz takes the 25th spot any day now.

I dunno Cam. They already have an abundance of pitchers (13). I doubt they would go to 14 and only have 11 position players. Just my thought.

Just a side note, I've noticed that with the expansion of the 25th man in Minor League Baseball, organizations have opted to go with 13 pitchers where as (usually) big league teams go with 12 pitchers and 13 position players. I assume it is due to pitch count and minor league "throwing rules."

Also, minor league games use the DH unless BOTH teams are NL affliates. I am not sure who the Bats will add as the 25th man - maybe another indy league guy?

P Cole Green added to Dayton, C Danny Vicioso moves from Dayton to Bakersfield, C Chris Berset from Bakersfield to Pensecola, C Brian Peacock from Pensecola to Louisville.

Donald Lutz was placed on the disabled list in Bakersfield. Niko Vasquez for the Blaze. Also, the Reds signed a Dutch first baseman, Aldrich Guzman. He reminds me a lot of Donald Lutz, but there isn't a lot of info on him. He's a big guy, though.

Reds seem to have a European connection

So far today:

Andrew Brackman of AAA Louisville DL, demoted to A+ Bakersfield.

Brett Tomko to AAA Louisville DL.

Tim Gustafson promoted to AAA Louisville.

So who moves from Bakersfield to Pensacola?

[19braves77]

Tim's call up is basically showcase to see if he's two or three starts away from signing with a team in the Atlantic League. Puzzling call up.

There was already a thread created for it, but Cingrani was promoted to Pensacola.

[camisadelgolf]

In Dayton, Dan Tuttle was activated from the disabled list as Jimmy Moran and his evil ERA (6.66) were sent back to "Billings".

[camisadelgolf]

Erik Miller was assigned to Pensacola; don't expect him to stay long. Jeff Francis was granted his request to be released.

[19braves77]

Henry Rodriguez had all his stuff pack for Arizona tonight.

[batsfan]

Can the Bats get any worse? Yes they can: pending a physical, Ryan Feierabend will be signed out of the independent leagues and start for Louisville on Friday. 5.39 ERA in AAA last season.

Obviously Mike Costanzo was optioned from Cincinnati with Kris Negron called up to take his place.
