Dodgers Outright Alfredo Silverio to Triple-A

By edcreech | November 4, 2012 at 3:00pm CDT

The Dodgers have outrighted outfielder Alfredo Silverio to Triple-A Albuquerque, reports Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. The Dodgers now have four openings on their 40-man roster.

Silverio, considered one of the organization's better outfield prospects a year ago, was seriously injured during a car accident in his native Dominican Republic on January 23. Silverio missed the entire 2012 season because of the injuries he sustained in the crash including a severe concussion and damage to his throwing elbow, which required Tommy John surgery in May.

The 24-year-old was coming off a breakthrough season in 2011 when he hit .306/.340/.542 with 16 homers and 90 runs scored for Double-A Chattanooga.

    No harm, no foul for the Dodgers. He wouldn’t be taken (if eligible) in the Rule V draft because nobody would take such a gamble on him to keep him on the 25-man roster. Might as well use that spot for someone who might have been selected.

        Maybe. But he missed all of last year and is out till June of this year. He has a long road ahead of him, doubt someone takes him and keeps him all year

          Thats what the Rays thought after Josh Hamilton was cleared to play after his suspension was lifted.

            I understand your point and thought process, but this is a very different situation. Silverio has missed over a year of baseball and will be out until at least June. It wasn’t because of substance abuse, but rather because of a situation that he easily could have been killed. I don’t know the rules for a rule 5 guy to be kept when he is going to start the year on the DL, but to commit one of 25 spot to a player who hasn’t played baseball in over a year, will not be ready for the 1st two months of the srason(minimum) and hasn’t played above AA ball is quite risky

    Silverio is a pretty talented prospect. Don’t understand why they don’t just put him on the 40 man and then 60 day dl him? Rather than possibly lose him.
