2007 Waiver Claims and Awards

Padres · Post by **Padres** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 6:18 pm

The Nationals are the new 1st team in priority order, however no one placed a claim for them. The Angels, now 2nd on the priority list, placed a timely claim but did not specify a player to drop from their 50 player roster. The Pirates, 3rd on the list, did not place a claim. The Dodgers, 4th on the list, did not place a claim. The Indians, 5th on the list, did place a claim. The Phillies, now 6th on the list, did not claim anyone. The Cardinals, now 7th on the list, did not place a claim. The Brewers, now 8th on the list, did not place a claim. The Royals, now 9th on the list, placed an untimely claim. The Orioles, now 10th on the list, placed claims only on players which were claimed by lower teams on the list. The Twins, now 11th on the list, did not place a claim. The Red Sox, now 12th on the list, did not place a claim. The Mariners, now 13th on the list, did not place a claim. The Reds, now 14th on the list, placed claims only on players which were selected by lower teams on the list. The Braves, now 15th on the list, did not place a claim. The Padres, now 16th on the list, did not place a claim. The Giants, now 17th on the list, did not place a claim. The Diamond Backs, now 18th on the list, did not place a claim.

The Astros, now 22nd on the list, have no more claims. The Yankees, now 23rd on the list, have no more claims. The White Sox, now 24th on the list, have no more claims.

The Rangers now having the lowest claim during the 2007 "Projection" Free Agent Waiver Signings, claimed and sign Tydus Meadows.

The Rangers will drop no one as they have numerous roster vacancies. They will be moved to the bottom of the list - an updated view can be seen at: memberlist.php.

The Rangers will drop no one as they have one roster vacancy. They will be moved to the bottom of the list - an updated view can be seen at: memberlist.php (The waiver priority list has been corrected to reflect that the Marlins should now be 29.)

The Marlins, now 27th on the list have no more claims.

The Rangers, Mets and Devil Rays are the only teams now having the claims during the 2007 "Projection" Free Agent Waiver Signings. The claims occured in this order:

Rangers - Lee Gardner
Mets - Shawn Kohn
Devil Rays - Agustin Montero
Rangers - Chris Begg
Mets - Norris Hopper
Devil Rays - Adam Boeve (Chris Carter is listed in the DMB as a member of the Indians.)
Rangers - Kevin Witt
Mets - no more claims
Devil Rays - Orlando Mercado
Rangers - Sean Green
Devil Rays - Brandon Harper

Devil Rays - Matt Watson
Rangers - Charles Fisher
Devil Rays - Casey Hoorelbeke
Ranger - Mike Adams
Devil Rays - Randy Clontz
Devil Rays - TJ Beam (Zach Ward is listed in the DMB as a member of the Reds.)

The Rangers, Mets and Devil Rays will drop no one as they have numerous roster vacancies*. Appropriate moves have been made to the waiver prioirity list - an updated view can be seen at: memberlist.php

Next I will post a comprehensive list of all movements assocaited with this FA period. If the Rangers or Devil Rays are short roster spots to claim all these players - I will reconcile it during that posting.

Padres · Post by **Padres** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 7:43 pm

Toronto claims Yohan 0-Pino will release JD Closser if we get him. Didn't see the note that these guys would go through waivers and saw that Edwin Jackson had been signed my bac, will release Pino for now.

Royals · Post by **Royals** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 10:46 pm

Boston will place a waiver claim on Edwin Jackson. We have an open roster spot.

Padres · Post by **Padres** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 6:30 am

Mets place a claim on Sung Wei-Tseng or Jhonny Nunez (only want one), will release Jovan Moran.

Didn't really expect to wind up with 3 OFs out of prior mass waiver claim.

Note: This waiver period ends at 9:14 today but I will not be home to process it and post results until early afternoon.

4. Daryl Jones

drop, if successful:

Ness, Roger SP

RedSox · Post by **RedSox** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 9:11 am

We haven't adjusted for daylight savings, so I'd say waiver period probably ends at 10:14 EST not 9:14.

The 9:14 referred to "board time" reflecting a 24 hour waiver period however a closer reading would indicate 9:19, to wit:
