Transaction Oracle — A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen Thursday, May 26, 2005Reds - Jimenez to AACincinnati Reds - Announced that 2B D’Angelo Jimenez accepted an outright assignment to Chattanooga. Newsworthy only because it’s so unexpected. I guess D’Angelo didn’t take the hint that the Reds wanted to be rid of him - more likely than not, the Reds simply release him now after he doesn’t play a single game for the Lookouts.

1. 1k5v3LIf I needed a backup middle infielder and I had a limited budget, I'd rather take a flyer on a guy like, say, Joe Inglett.
If it was done within the 10 day DFA window, sure.
That appears to be what will happen with Danny Graves.
I would happily give the Reds Macias *and* Wilson for Jiminez.

He cleared waivers, so if he would have refused his assignment, he would be a free agent. I'm pretty sure that if a team signed him, they would only have to pay a pro-rated portion of the minimum salary, with the Reds picking up the rest.
If that's the case, I'd probably rather have Jimenez than an Inglett/Scutaro type of guy.
That said, I don't know how bad the "attitude issues" that we keep hearing about really are.
You're right. If his behavior is so bad that no team in North America wants him, I'm sure Japanese teams will be clamoring for his services.
Is Izzy Alcantara still playing in Japan?
Most of the praise for Jimenez came before he had his neck injury, from which he never quite recovered.
They'll be far more ignorant of how bad his behavior was, with the language and geographical barriers. I think most teams will see "STARTING SECOND BASEMAN FOR MLB TEAM AVAILABLE!!!!!1111" before they see \"#######\".
"He was put on outright waivers," general manager Dan O'Brien said of Jimenez. "Any ballclub could have claimed him for a $20,000 waiver fee. There were no claims. At this time, there was minimal interest in trade possibilities."
BEGINNING SECOND MAN OF BASE FOR MLB GROUP AVAILABLE!!!!!!1111
