Greene had to be protected this year because he was drafted out of college. Rasmus, though drafted the same year, was a high school player. He doesn’t have to be placed on the 40-man until next year unless he makes the big league club (wishful thinking).

Would you want Scherer on your ML roster next year?

How does Tyler Greene find himself placed upon the forty man roster before Colby Rasmus?

Your answer to the Rule 5 question is not necessarily true. If the Cardinals left Perdomo on the AA roster (which was submitted last night at midnight), then a team could select him in the minor league portion of the Rule 5. In all likelihood, he was placed on the AAA roster, which would force a team to select him in the major league portion of the draft and he would have to stick on their roster for the entire season. Just thought I would clarify.

Would you want Perdomo on your ML roster next year? I think they are banking on him not being picked up. They do still have some space I think though. I can’t wait to see who is left unprotected this year.

I was wondering if anybody knew anything about the left hander the Cards picked up off free agency from the Tiger’s Triple A team? I think his name is Ian Ostlund. It looked like he put up some pretty good numbers. Maybe he’ll fight with Charlie Manning for that street free agent spot in spring training.

They would have to have Perdomo on the major league roster.

I guess the three option years make Greene a little more valuable than Ryan or Barden.

question about rule 5…since perdomo was in AA to end the season, does the team that drafts him have to keep in the majors or just in AAA?

I really am surprised that they didn’t keep Perdomo at least another year due to the whole Reyes thing. Huh.
