#BlueJays release OF Eric Eiland, 2nd round ’07, who showed plus athleticism but little feel for hitting: .221/.319/.290 in 1,121 career PA.

#Twins release RHP David Gutierrez, younger brother of system's own prospect Carlos. Drafted out of Miami 2 years (and 17 rounds) apart.

#Dodgers release LHP James Adkins, 39th pick in ’07. Shifted to pen his strikeouts spiked (9.9) but hit (9.7) & walk (4.6) rates problematic

#Indians release 3B Matt Cusick (following RHP Andy Shive last week), now have nothing to show for Kerry Wood trade (except heftier wallet).

#Cubs release RHP Chris Huseby, ’06 11th rd who signed for $1.3 mm. Totaled 74 2/3 innings over past 3 seasons & dabbled as position player.

Looking at the Marlins releases, they seemed to have gotten rid of half of their Triple A & Double A rosters from last season:

Brad Stone
John Raynor
Lorenzo Scott
Brandon Tripp
Greg Burns, Jr
Kevin Mattison
Graham Taylor
Chris Leroux
Derrick Turnbow
Lee Mitchell
Kasey Olenberger

There are lots more but that is lots of Minor Leaguers being released.

I have Greg Smith auto card from 2 years ago

scotty21690 · Apr 7, 2011

Surprised by Bates, but I suppose he wouldn't see much PT in Boston anytime soon with our new 1B.

Not released but not worth creating a thread, but what the heck does Virgil Hill have to do to earn a roster spot with Quad Cities...he had a fantastic spring, he's not that young, and he showed development in Johnson City last year...agh...it's probably just the stash talking.

A second-round pick in ’06, 6-foot-5 righty Matt Long went 7-9, 4.89 in 21 starts for Double-A Birmingham last year, showing average stuff across the board. Damn I missed it by that much................. ::facepalm::

I pulled his 2008 Chrome Gold Refractor Rookie back in 2008 while I was at a Mariners game. Funny thing is I didn't know a thing about prospecting at the time and It was out of a retail pack which odds where like 1 in a zillion.

Back to this thread:

Tommy Mendoza - Bowman cards in 2005 and 2007 (chrome auto). Got one signed when he was playing in Double-A.

Pirates signed Brett Sinkbeil. I didn't know he was released.

Brandon Wood: Pirates ready to claim Brandon Wood
Brandon Wood - SS - ANA - Apr. 22 - 8:49 am et
The Pirates will "almost certainly" place a waiver claim on Brandon Wood before Friday's 12:00 ET deadline, according to beat writer Colin Dunlap.
That's what happens when your starting shortstop is Ronny Cedeno. There has been nothing to suggest a change of scenery is all it will take to wake up Wood's long slumbering bat, and even if he's claimed by the Pirates and immediately added to their 25-man roster, he won't be worth a flier in NL-only leagues for the time being. Apr. 22 - 8:49 am et
