Whoever reported that he made the team needs to be fired.

Seems like a logistics move. Waiting extra day may help him go unclaimed on waivers creating an opportunity to work out a trade to get him back

Adam Rosales further proving that being able to do a lot of different things badly and looking goofy as hell when running will still somehow trick a team into giving him a shot.

You sure talk a lot crap about guy that play in ML’s. From every post you make, you seem to think you can a better job than anyone in baseball personnel. Must be good to be so talented.

So why Rosales over Weeks?

No clue man. Weeks tore it up this spring with the bat and played 6 different positions, he also offers a late game speed/pinch running element. He must be pretty bummed because he did everything he could to make the club. As much as Andy Green wants to give the Motto that it takes more than 25 guys to balance the roster all season it is a buzz kill to perform like Weeks did and not get to crack the opening day roster. Hopefully it doesn’t mess with his head.

Typically if he doesn’t have the bat to play a position in the majors, your backup can play better defense than the incumbent. We have an old and bad defensive starter at shortstop and our backup is worse both with the bat and the glove. Scary.

Josh Martin was a Rule 5 pick. Does he not have to be offered back to the tribe for 25,000?
bleacherbum
Yes he does, unless another team claims him and puts him on their 25 man roster. If that doesn’t happen he goes back to Cleveland.
