    When you’re more washed up than Scott Kazmir…

    Former Red Sox star pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka has been released from the Cleveland Indians, per the team’s official Twitter...

    Since a brilliant 2008 in which the right-hander posted an 18-3 record with a 2.90 ERA, he has posted a 5.53 ERA. The Indians signed him to a Minor League deal on February 10. Despite posting a 2.25 ERA in ten spring innings, the Indians are choosing between Carlos Carrasco and Scott Kazmir for the fifth spot in the ...

    Are there other criteria for XX(B) status besides service time? The previous year's article says:

    An Article XX(B) free agent is simply one with six or more years of major league service whose big league contract expired at the conclusion of last season.


    I assume service time is why Chris Volstad doesn't qualify. But what about Yorvit Torrealba? He's not listed under the Rockies but he signed a minor league deal.

    Torrealba is an Article XIX(A)(2) free agent, i.e., he refused an outright assignment to Triple-A.

    For some super-odd reason, I am obsessed with these sorts of flotsam lists... 6 year minor league FAs, fringers in the rule 5, this... Maybe it's just a function of using the 5 waiver claims traded for a marginal prospect in OOTP...

    But I have to say -- no one on list holds the slightest bit of interest for me.... OK - maybe Matt Capps...

    I think Juan Carlos Oviedo and Pedro Feliciano are both somewhat interesting stories. Oviedo probably won't pitch this year, but Feliciano just spent two years on the shelf and if he makes it back will be one of those guys who spent years with a major league team that he never appeared for.
