I think chibears55 had it right in the other thread. The bigger story is that they just cleared a space on the 40 man. Somebody knocking at the door?

I'm not sure they did unless I'm missing something. He was on the 60 day DL thus not on the 40 man.

You're right but he was activated and then DFA'd so I'm not sure of the logistics there.

Think you're given a grace period to make moves or DFA. Not 100% sure why you can't just DFA from 60 day DL though. I suppose it's because when someone is healthy and no longer rehabbing they are expected to be removed from the 60 day thus activation.

More interesting part of this for me is do they promote someone from A+ to take Anderson's rotation spot in AA. Tenn has Alzolay, Clifton, Underwood Jr., and Preston Morrison presumably all with solid holds on jobs. Zach Hedges has also started 15 games. No one else has more than 5 starts. Rucker could really use more difficult competition.

I'm thinking it was more like they wanted a 5 man rotation again. Rucker would make it 6 man

I keep looking at the thread title thinking it should read "Brett05 DFA'D".
