#97@Field39: I think that the 10 and 5 are tied to MLB service time, rather than calendar dates, but it would seem to me that OG has been in the majors the whole time, accumulating service time. I'd guess that he'd be a 10-5 guy this offseason. Of course, I could be entirely wrong.

Giles was traded to the Padres on Aug 26 2003. Does he become a 5 and 10 guy on the 26th of this month?

#94@JMAR: Basically what you just said. Scan and I e-mail each other back and forth quite often but he seldom uses it on air. And never my full name or a DS shout out. That was wierd. I had just walked back into my living room and Scan is saying my name and mentioning the blog.

#89@Bruce: The kinds of players that pass through waivers (high salaried veterans) aren't the kind of players the Padres would want back, so I have to think they would get minor leaguers that aren't on the 40-man roster back. The good thing is that they can easily shop him in the offseason or just keep him for next season, so they can probably just pass on the deal unless the claiming team gives up some good talent. #90@Turbine Dude: What did Scan say?

#89@Bruce: How can a player who is ninth in the league in on-base percentage be just "slightly above average"? And his defense this year has been excellent.

#89@Bruce: I believe the players on both sides would have to clear waivers unless they're not on the 40 man roster.

#15@JMAR: Let's see what happens. I am favor of the move as long as we get something decent back. If we just let him go and save the money hoping that he will come back in the winter, I will be disappointed, as well as if we get some C level prospect. He's an average, if slightly above average, OF, but signed at a below market rate. It is almost certain that the player coming back has to be a minor leaguer right? Otherwise the player coming in the opposite direction would also have to clear waivers. Or does it not matter?
