Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed

Sergio Romo Designated for Assignment

174246766_ea2fd78204_tiny by Grant on Comment 153 comments

According to Andrew Baggarly here, the Giants designated Sergio Romo for assignment by accident. Or something. I'm sure this will all get straightened out, but in the meantime it's perfectly acceptable to jump to conclusions and start freaking out.

Even if it works itself out, and I hope it does, this is inexcusable.

I’ve said this before, but what the FUCK does Sabean (or Bochy, for that matter) have to do to get fired, anyway!?

by jcb9 on Aug 6, 2008 11:04 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hmm, thinking….Sabean has been GM since 1997. Bob Quinn, GM from 1993-1997, retired at the end of his run. Felipe Alou’s contract was allowed to expire – same with Dusty Baker. I think that was the case with Roger Craig, too.

Perhaps the Giants organization just doesn’t believe in firing managers or GMs. Accidentally DFAing good young relievers, yes. Firing inept morons, no.

by jcb9 on Aug 6, 2008 11:06 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Er, Quinn was GM from 1993-1996, I meant.

by jcb9 on Aug 6, 2008 11:09 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

they really should have fired Dusty Baker right after the World Series, simply not being able to agree to a new contract was such a pussy move!

I will laugh (read: sob) if the Giants lose Romo because they don’t understand how the rules work and because they wanted to call up 40-year-old Yabu.

No

That actually had some basis in at least partially rational thought, and did not demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the rules.

Perhaps Sabean has mad cow disease, and his brain has turned to swiss cheese?

They sent down Matos too (and called up Sadler), so like… I don’t even know. There was absolutely ZERO reason to be sending Romo down. This is absolutely inexcusable, especially if we lose him.

update from baggarly:
I’m told that Romo was still on revocable trade waivers when the Giants optioned him, which is not allowed. Therefore, he was designated for assignment. I’m told that trade waivers supercede in this case…so it’s a bit tangled. Will the Giants lose Romo, an arm they value, for nothing? I’ll find out.

Just to make this entire topic relatively moot...

from Baggarly’s blog:

A little explanation on Romo: The Giants probably put him on revocable waivers because a potential trade partner was interested in him. Or they wanted t ogauge the general the level of interest. No matter the reason, you cannot option someone when they are on revocable waivers. (I’m up on most roster rules, but that’s a new one for me.)

Anyway, and this is the important part, the Giants insist the oversight will not result in losing Romo to another club. When you designate a player, you take them off your 40-man roster and have 10 days to waive, release or outright him. Before those 10 days are up, the Giants will revoke Romo off waivers be able to option him at that point. He’ll remain on the 40-man roster. Romo said he expects to join Fresno in Salt Lake on Friday.

it doesnt matter that it can be fixed

it shows that the fo is totally incompetent and the “youth movement” is an absolute joke

this should not be excused

I don't follow you

If it turns out they knew what they were doing, it’s not a question of fixing a mistake but playing out a transition they engineered to simultaneously pursue trades and juggle the roster. And I don’t see how this is necessarily a repudiation of the youth movement. It may be they expect to give Romo and Matos more work in higher leverage situations at Fresno.

Don't mellow his harsh...

Fie on your well-reasoned, level-headed logic! I still agree with bacci40: the fo is incompetent, and this should not be excused.

That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!

ya...it just coincidentally happened right after both had a bad outing

and part of a youth movement is allowing kids to have a bad outing or two…or three…im sick of the sabean apologists

the guy doesnt know what he is doing

Awww man, I didn’t even get to make my “So how long until the A’s claim him” joke.

from the Giants website

“The club couldn’t option Romo directly to Fresno because he’d been put on revocable trade waivers, but he’s expected to join the Grizzlies on Friday at Salt Lake. “

He is no longer listed on the 40-man roster.
