Roster Moves – April 28th – Week 4
FAAB Acquisitions:
- SP Chad Gaudin, Padres ($0 bid, reserve)
- SP Mitchell Boggs, Cardinals ($1 bid, active)
Up:
- 1B Casey Kotchman (to CM)
- RP Juan Gutierrez
Down:
- 3B Emilio Bonifacio
- SP Shairon Martis
- SP Kenshin Kawakami
Cut:
- 2B/3B Blake DeWitt
- 3B Dallas McPherson
Notes:
- Gaudin was originally drafted this season by The Pi Train, in the 12th round of the Minor League Draft. Upon being cut by the Cubs, The Pi Train released him. He was then signed by the pitching-starved Padres.
- We say farewell to DeWitt, who was protected from 2008. However with the acquisitions of Casey Blake and Orlando Hudson, and Joe Torre’s goal of having him rot on the bench, DeWitt won’t be able to help anyone until 2010, at the earliest.
