Nevermind

He’s a Rule 5 pick and he spent the whole year one the DL, so Ramirez didn’t spend enough non-September days on the Nationals roster. The Nats were forced to return him back to the Mets.

So, if the Nationals had held on to him for 90-days in the 2012 season then they could have sent him down? Or does the Rule 5 status stick with them the whole year until they acquire the necessary amount of time on the active roster?

As per the article, the “Rule 5 status carries forward until the players spend 90 non-September days on the active roster.” So the latter – the Rule 5 status sticks until he spends 90 non-DL days on the big league roster. Hope that makes sense.

No, I understand that. But I’m asking if the Nationals had tried to hold on to him into next year, could they have had him on the active roster for the first 90 days of the 2012 season, and then had the ability to demote him? I wasn’t sure because that would be his second season with the team.

The Mets abused him anyway.

Brian Cashman?

I heard Cashman blamed the Mets for the Joba injury

That’s true, they’ve hurt his feelings here-and-there.

It is good that the Nats are finally reaching the point that Rule 5 will not be a necessary great opportunity for them. As a matter of fact, i more worry that they will lose somebody with promise. I am still amazed that Michael Martinez stuck with the Phillies all year. I guess he will be back in AAA next season for them.

Yawnnnn……Ramirez is nothing more than cannon fodder for the AAA team….granted the whole Mets team was basically rookies and AAA cannon fodder players.
