Rangers outright Willie Eyre

by Adam J. Morris on Dec 7, 2009 1:22 PM CST

Per Evan Grant, Willie Eyre has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to AAA.

So you know how I said the 40 man roster was at 39 in my last post? Ignore that...it is now at 38.

Interesting

I think they have their eye on someone in the Rule 5 draft.

I assume Arias will be dropped off the 40-man as well

at some point this offseason, or at least I hope so.

I have a feeling he is going to go to spring training and allowed to compete for the UTIL role

And if he doesn’t make it then DFAd at the end of spring

Yep

that would be fine

he has a slim to none chance of becoming our utility guy. i think it’s pretty obvious he is not a MLer

Why waste any time with Arias?

Remember how bad he was in those games (or was it only one game?) in Oakland when they called him up?

Whats the rush to drop him off the 40 so quick?

Unless we need the roster spot for someone whats the rush?

How many AB's do you see the utility guy getting?

by twinkilling on Dec 7, 2009 2:41 PM CST up reply actions

A lot because

Elvis needs a day or 2 off a week and Kinsler always gets hurt.

and Young will probably get some DH time this year.

I see Borbon leading off and if Arias is in the lineup, he's in the 9 hole

by twinkilling on Dec 7, 2009 2:59 PM CST up reply actions

2 a week? I doubt it, probably 1 every couple of weeks

by octoberty on Dec 7, 2009 3:07 PM CST up reply actions

yeah

Time to tke the training wheels off. Especially if Arias is the back up.

A day or two a week?

Hell no

Barring injury I want Elvis playing 150+ games in 2010

Elvis isn't getting a day or 2 off a week

He played in 145 games last season and is probably expected to be able to play at least that many again in 2010. A day or 2 off a week means he’s getting at least 25 games off in the season.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
