Minor Moves: Rodriguez, Hamilton, Tomko, D’Backs

By Zach Links | August 17, 2012 at 9:41pm CDT

Today's minor moves, courtesy of Baseball America's Matt Eddy..

  • The Braves have signed left-hander Daniel Rodriguez out of the Mexican League, reports Dave O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The 27-year-old owns a 2.54 ERA in 117 innings this season, and has led the league in strikeouts in each of the past three years.
  • The Cardinals have released Mark Hamilton, reports MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch (on Twitter). The 28-year-old put up a .231/.340/.419 line with 15 homers in 359 Triple-A plate appearances this season.
  • The Diamondbacks signed right-hander Brett Tomko.  The 39-year-old was released by the Reds earlier this month after posting a 3.78 ERA with 6.5 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 in 12 Triple-A starts.
  • The Diamondbacks also signed third baseman Matt Mangini, who was recently released by the Rays.  Mangini was with Tampa Bay's Triple-A affiliate but has been assigned to Double-A Mobile.  The 26-year-old had a cup of coffee in the majors with the Mariners in 2010.
  • Tigers outfielder Don Kelly cleared waivers and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Toledo.  Kelly was outrighted after being DFA'd on August 3rd.
  • The Twins released right-hander Eric Hurley, who elected free agency from the Angels last month.  The 2004 first-round pick was once viewed as a high-ceiling prospect but has yet to appear in the majors since a five-game stint with the Rangers in 2008.

    A Brett Tomko sighting. Nice. At least Ned Colletti stayed away…

      You forgot he existed because he ‘was never given a fair chance to compete’

        You know he is below a reclamation project when Duquette won’t even give him a “shake”.

        Good luck Dbacks, Maybe move the fences back 100′ whenever he pitches and play softball rules with defenders.

          maybe if he moved to New Zealand and started playing softball he would get a call

    Tomko COULD work well out of the D’backs bullpen. However, I forgot that he was still playing.
