I can’t argue with any of the moves…Craig needs regular AB’s, Jay was tearing the cover off in Memphis. Does Greene have a shot at bumping the struggling Boog…will he start at 2nd vs. tough lefties?

Players generally have three option years during which they can go back and forth between the minors and the majors an unlimited number of times. Being on the 40-man roster burns an option year (players are optioned at the beginning of spring training). There are special caveats to the rule but that’s the basic premise.
