Andrew Moore - still AA, although the Mariners AA affiliate is the Arkansas Travelers this year instead of Jacksonville (I think TN).
Tyler Smith - Tacoma
Sam Gaviglio - Tacoma
Josh Osich and Craig Sitton - Sacramento - too bad Osich is back in the minors; I hope his shoulder is sound.
Dylan Davis - I don't see him on either Richmond (AA) or San Jose (high A); I'm guessing we will see one of those in the next couple days.
Andrew Susac - will start the year on the DL (sore back and shoulder but no damage per MRI)

Dylan Davis is not on either of those rosters. He had been working on playing 3B in Spring Training. The speculation I saw earlier today on Twitter was that he is either injured or still in extended spring training working on 3B.

Has anyone noticed what happened to Ben Wetzler/Holmes? He seemed to drop off the face of the map this year.

The Giants TV guys eluded to Josh having "Options" and other guys didn't so the organization had him start the year in the minors.
I don't claim to understand it all.... just seems like a temporary assignment and he will be back to the bigs soon, but again I'm not understanding all the details here.

I don't claim to understand it all.... just seems like a temporary assignment and he will be back to the bigs soon, but again I'm not understanding all the details here. “options” are the number of years you can be on the 40-man roster and still be “optioned” (kept or sent down) to the minor leagues. There’s a lot of complicated nuances to it, but basically, you can be kept in the minors or shuttled back & forth between the minors and MLB in 4 different seasons while on the 40-man roster. If a guy who is “out of options” (i.e. has already been on the 40-man roster for 4 years) is sent to the minors, he basically has to be put on waivers. Again, this is an over-simplified explanation, but that’s the gist. |
