Snyder Accepts Minor League Assignment
MONDAY: Snyder has cleared waivers and accepted his assignment to Triple A, as suggested by Sarah Green back on April 5th.
FRIDAY: According to Jeff Horrigan of the Boston Herald, the Tigers, Rays, and Phillies have interest in recently-designated pitcher Kyle Snyder.
Snyder, now 30 years old, was the seventh overall pick by the Royals in the 1999 draft. He was tolerable as a middle reliever for the Red Sox last year, though his control was poor. He had two labrum surgeries in '03 and '04, and that injury reoccurred in '05. The Royals designated him the following year, and the Sox claimed him off waivers.
Here's a look at Snyder's pitch type data from last year. Most projection systems predict an ERA around 4.80 this year for him.
By the way, the Red Sox will also be designating Bryan Corey tonight.

Moms and Dad's out there! Teach your children to pitch. When three teams are interested in the likes of Kyle Snyder there's a strong chance that your mediocre-chicken-winging son or daughter will be pulling down 6 figures in a decade or so.

I'm actually mildly surprised that the guy couldn't find a job. At 30 he's still pretty young and was capable of eating some pretty decent innings. To think that a pitching starved team like the Tigers, who actually designated Bazardo for some reason, would prefer to go with their internal options does seem odd. It seems like they should be looking at every able arm available.
I still think that the Tigers really need to go after a Damaso Marte or a Jon Rauch. They'll never get a guy like Chad Cordero or Huston Street, but they could probably get one of those quality relievers.

Curt Schilling's doctor was quoted saying that Curt is so mad at the Red Sox making him rehab that he's considering having surgery and pitching for the Yankees next year.
Just heard it on Geico Sports Night on SNY.
