A player can be put on the DL directly (like Pedro Martinez last season), but 60-day may be a different story. I'm still looking. That is my next question as well.

It needs to stop raining here so we can enjoy some real spring training action. My wife and I stopped by on Friday and it was pretty quiet, but at least the players were out and about. I have to remember and take my video camera this year. I took some video last year of Griffey's first BP as a Mariner- part 2. The days before that Chuck Armstrong stopped by and started talking to us (my wife and I and two other gentlemen) about the potential signing of Griffey and he was as giddy as a school girl. It was actually fun to see a man of his stature so excited. He and GM-Jack are very easy to talk with down here. Both are very personable guys. Back to regular baseball talk.

Thanks for the research on it. Great site by the way. I am a daily checker of the site and I really enjoy it. That was my guess since Toronto was adding a player. Thanks for the research on it.

I would think that would be different than signing someone to a new contract and placing him on the DL. Were those guys already under contract and on the 40 man?

So, Seattle couldn't put him there now in anticipation of a future move and so he'd be eligible to return sooner (not that it matters, but just to be safe), because the roster would be sitting at 39 after that move. Someone has to be added as part of the same move. From my initial poke around, the only thing I can find is that the the 40-man has to be full in order to transfer someone to the 60-day DL.

Dave isn't the only one to say this. I have heard other reliable writers say the same thing. I will check back with you on it. Thanks. Dave isn’t the only one to say this.

I had just been trusting <a href="http://ussmariner.com/2010/02/06/bedard-passes-physical-deal-done/" rel="nofollow">Dave at USSM</a> ("If you’re wondering, they can’t put Bedard on the 60 day DL until the end of spring training".) Will investigate. Interesting… the Blue Jays actually have two players on their 60-day DL right now.

I just read on another site that the Blue Jays put a player on the 60-Day today opening room on their 40 man roster. Why can they do it and we can't at this point? Blue Jays placed RHP Dirk Hayhurst on the 60-day disabled lost following shoulder surgery. Hayhurst is expected to miss 4-6 months after having the fraying in his labrum repaired and the move makes room on the 40-man roster for Jose Molina. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/home_MLB.aspx I have read on here and several other places that the M’s have to wait until opening day to put Bedard on the 60-Day D.L.

I think Bedard's the obvious choice - I'd be shocked if he's healthy before June. Holy God you’re writing a lot. I think Bedard’s the obvious choice – I’d be shocked if he’s healthy before June.
