Cesar Puello DFA'd

Makes sense. 

[tdawg87]

Season over.

Very unfortunate roster crunch. In before he joins A's and hits .400

[totdprods]

If any relievers get DFA'ed in the next day or so, we could see a little trade shape up. Doubt he clears waivers, so it was fun while it lasted. 

We still have Hermosillo, not-to-distant Adell, and Parker (.941 OPS in AAA) as well, so not the end of the world.

Thanks Cesar for your efforts. 

[tdawg87]

This was obviously done to increase the black guy quotient. I support the move.

[stormngt]

I am pissed off we couldn't get something for him.  He hit the shit out of the ball while he was here.  Would have been nice to get something for him.

I know we had few options and none good but it still sucks

It sucks that no team valued him.

I sure hope that Upton can step in and hit .390 

[Lou]

Giants could use him

Who?... I thought I saw him on the back of a Milk Carton at Ralphs.

[Stradling]

I’m sure Puello would have continued to hit .390 this year. 

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Hate to say this! But, I could have thought of 20 other guys more worthy of being DFA'ed....

 

I guess, they are hoping and praying for Dillon Peters.... And our next 2 way phenom Jared Walsh~ Or, that glistening 8.37ERA of Jake Jewell.... Herma'who?

 

You find somebody who can hit and hit for some pop in the Majors.... You find a home for them on the roster somewhere! 

I doubt he clears. But, maybe, they can sneak him through! I'm sure Money Ball will have 3 interns watching the Waiver Wire daily.

I really didnt expect them to do this.

He was 1 for his last 11 

[rafibomb]

Tough situation but we all saw this move coming.

Name them 

[Ray McKigney]

I thought they'd traded him when they pulled him from the game yesterday.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

BB reference shows us at 39....Allen isn't on it either~

I think teams valued him.  But they knew he was going to be released because of Upton.  

Had Upton got activated in July I believe we would have been able to make the trade.

Doesn't matter

 As I said it we had no good options.  Upton had to be reinstated and we had no infield depth and both Goodwin and Puello played well.  I would have been just as pissed if we let Goodwin go.

DFA a productive hitter...why? Stupid move if you ask me
