Carlos Monasterios

Dodgers Release Carlos Monasterios

By Zach Links | April 8, 2012 at 11:56am CDT

Today's minor moves..

  • The Dodgers have released right-hander Carlos Monasterios, according to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.  The 26-year-old pitched in 32 games for the club in 2010 but has since required two elbow operations.  In that season, Monasterios posted a 4.38 ERA with 5.3 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 13 starts and 19 relief appearances for the Dodgers.

Odds & Ends: Brewers, Marlins, Red Sox, Calero

By Zach Links | April 4, 2010 at 10:49pm CDT

Sunday night links..

  • While other clubs did some last minute tinkering today, Brewers GM Doug Melvin decided to stand pat with his lineup, writes Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
  • For the first time in three years, the Marlins won't have the lowest payroll in baseball on Opening Day, writes Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald.  Florida's payroll of $46MM ranks ahead of the Padres and Pirates.
  • Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com (via Twitter) didn't expect Scott Schoeneweis to make the BoSox roster after being released by the Brewers.  Edes adds that he expects Alan Embree to make his way to the big league squad after he puts in more work in the minors.
  • The Mets have demoted reliever Kiko Calero to their Triple-A affiliate, according to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com (via Twitter).  Calero's deal – which he signed in early March – does not allow Calero to opt-out upon being assigned to the minors.
  • Jeff Zrebiec and Dan Connolly of The Baltimore Sun write that O's outfielder Nolan Reimold took ground balls at first base yesterday.  Orioles GM Andy MacPhail told the Sun not to read too much into it, as they were only seeking to increase the 26-year-old's versatility.  However, an item on ESPN's rumor page wonders aloud if the fielding practice could be about the club's future plans at the position without Luke Scott and Garrett Atkins.
  • A major league insider told Jordan Bastian of MLB.com that the extension given to Adam Lind is a good deal for both parties.  The Blue Jays signed Lind to a four-year, $18MM pact yesterday morning.
  • Ken Gurnick of MLB.com points out that Carlos Monasterios is just the fourth Rule 5 draftee to make a Dodgers Opening Day roster.

Odds & Ends: Dodgers, Figueroa, Rays, Martinez

By Mike Axisa | April 3, 2010 at 4:22pm CDT

Links for Saturday…

  • Rule 5 Draft pick Carlos Monasterios will make the Dodgers' Opening Day squad, writes Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.  However, Joe Torre will not announce whether the team will carry 11 or 12 pitchers until tomorrow.
  • Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times (via Twitter) says to expect word that Elliot Johnson has cleared waivers and will stay with the Rays at their Triple-A affiliate.  Johnson, who was out of options, was waived by Tampa Bay earlier this week.
  • Righthander Nelson Figueroa was one of six players cut by the Mets, according to MLB.com's Bill Chastain. Figueroa is out of options and has been outrighted before, so he can elect to become a free agent instead of reporting to the minors if he clears waivers.
  • Victor Martinez doesn't feel he needs promises in his next contract that he will remain at catcher, reports WEEI.com's Rob Bradford. This morning we learned that V-Mart doesn't want talks about a contract extension to take place during the season.
  • Tracy Ringolsby of Inside The Rockies points out that the Rockies will start the year with the highest Opening Day payroll in team history, a cool $85,808,682. 
  • Marc Carig of The Newark Star-Ledger tweets that Marcus Thames has officially made the Yankees' Opening Day roster. He could have opted out of his minor league deal if he didn't make the team out of Spring Training, but now he'll earn $900K for the season.

The Dodgers’ Fifth Rotation Spot

By Mike Axisa | March 20, 2010 at 5:33pm CDT

The front of the Dodgers' rotation is pretty well set, with Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Hiroki Kuroda, and Vicente Padilla set to occupy the first four spots. There's no shortage of candidates for that fifth spot, but as Steve Dilbeck of The Los Angeles Times notes, most of the contenders have unfavorable contract situations. 

Eric Stults and Charlie Haeger are both out of options, Carlos Monasterios is a Rule 5 pick, and both Ramon and Russ Ortiz are believed to have out clauses in their contracts. The one rotation candidate that doesn't have any strings attached is James McDonald, but it doesn't help that he has a 20.25 ERA and a 3.56 WHIP in just over five innings this spring. Regardless of who LA picks for that last spot, there's a chance they'll lose some depth as the other guys succumb to roster limitations.

Let's open this one up for discussion. Who do you think the Dodgers should put in their last rotation spot, and what should they do with the other players? Essentially your choices are a) put them in the bullpen, or b) risk losing them to waivers/out clause/Rule 5 rules. Here are the Spring Training stats, not that they mean anything.
