Won't be Wright, he was just called up for long-man duty. According to the roster pages, Brown was DFA'd. How close is Craig to coming off the DL? If that's not imminent, then when Wright (or Wilson) is sent back down, then Betts, Hassan, Cecchini, or Brentz would be recalled in the interim. 40-man effective roster is at 37 (Lavarnway coming off 60-day DL, but Victorino could go on it). Craig may begin a rehab assignment today with Pawtucket. My guess is it'll be a short one. He can be activated at any time. I don't see them putting Shanf on the 60-day at this point though. It's not like he can stay on it during the offseason, and I can't see them bringing anyone up who isn't on the 40, can you? |

Gibson, Verdugo, Celestino, and Villareal are all potential mlfa's and potential roster additions. The last two are very much on the cusp. You could get a big-league look at one or more of them and if you ultimately decide to DFA them, that's essentially the same as never having selected them in the first place. This would happen after the PawSox playoffs are over, of course (assuming they hang on to the 2.5 lead for the W/C) -- although I could see Verdugo replacing Breslow on the MLB roster before then. |
