Minor MLB Transactions: 9/21/17

By Steve Adams | September 21, 2017 at 3:47pm CDT

Here are Thursday’s minor moves from around the league…

  • The Padres announced that shortstop Dusty Coleman and right-hander Jose Valdez have cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. Both players have subsequently been sent outright to Triple-A El Paso. Coleman, 30, saw his most extensive big league stint to date this season, appearing in 27 games for the Friars and hitting .227/.268/.455 with four homers in 71 plate appearances. He’s only appeared in two Major League seasons, though he’s a veteran of five Triple-A campaigns, where he’s compiled a .239/.296/.414 batting line. Valdez, 27, has seen limited Major League action in each of the past three seasons, though he’s struggled to a 5.72 ERA through 50 1/3 innings in that time. The hard-throwing Valdez has averaged better than a strikeout per inning in the minors but has also averaged more than five walks per inning in that time. Valdez owns a 3.43 ERA with 8.3 K/9 against 4.7 BB/9 through 133 2/3 Triple-A frames.

    Not bad for a guy that started the year in A+ ball

      Who? Valdez started the season in AAA and the last time he was in A+ ball was 2013. Coleman is a 9 year veteran of the minors and started the year in AAA.

        Valdez or am I thinking of the other guy?
        The one up north on the 40 man
        Former catcher turned pitcher
        Who was recalled from A+ ball twice this year

          I think you are talking about Juan Valdez. He makes good coffee.

          Jose Ruiz was originally a catcher and started the season in Lake Elsinore. Is that who you mean?

          Honestly. I’ve been making that same mistake all year. And I’m Mexican. No excuse.
