Anyone can be removed from the 40 man roster at any time for any reason. As a practical matter however, the Sox aren't going to remove any six year minor league free agents unless they are forced to create a roster spot for someone or they just don't want the player.

The Sox can add anyone they want to the 40 man roster, but the only players in the system who are both eligible for the Rule Five draft and/or minor league free agency that you'd even think about giving roster spots to are Hughes and Vaughn. Guys like Vaquendo and Spann are eligible for Rule Five but they aren't going on the 40 man roster.

Immediately after the season, Timlin, Mirabelli, Schilling, Lowell, Tavarez, Gagne, Hinske and Clayton are likely off the 40 man and they will likely add Hughes and Vaughn. I'd assume that Snyder is either non-tendered, released or traded. They probably get a rule five pick and sign three or four free agents.

As you can see there is plenty of room on the roster for guys like Breslow, Hughes, and Corey to go to Ft. Myers with the team in the spring.

You have a right to believe what you want, no matter how miss inform you're, I also have the right of wanting to have a conversation with you and because I am not interested this is the end of it.

I didn't mind having a conversation with you even if you where miss imformed, but when you are offensive and talk crap of the kind of work i do and i don't there's not need that the coversation should continues.

Scaffolds-

In general you have a right to your opinion as this is an open forum after all. However you shouldn't dismiss the opinion of others on the basis that you have special knowledge that other posters don't have. If I don't agree that a player not being called up in September has anything to do with the chances that he will be added to the 40 man roster, and your response is that you have special industry knowledge, expect to be challenged on that. I personally don't believe that you have special industry knowledge.

[rician blast]

I guess Hansen remains an enigma. 8 K's in 5 innings of work, only 1 walk, but a nearly 6 era, with 2 HRs given up?

A couple other notes:
Bard...15 Ks and 15 walks in 16+ IP...5 hit batters...but only a .136 BAA. Guess they can't hit you when they're afraid of losing their heads.

Oh, and Jed Lowrie hit like shit.
