Re: Breslow claimed off waivers, added to 40
Looks like he's had two brief stints in the majors in '05 and '06, neither were particularly pretty. Game logs here and here.
here are some peripherals from last year at AAA pawtucket, doesn't look like is '07 numbers are up yet on minorleaguesplit.

I'm still quite surprised though. He looked fine in his last appearance.

Re: Breslow claimed off waivers, added to 40
Just goes to show you why we don't get to run the team from our computers by watching mlb.tv.
I'm really interested to see what his lefty-righty splits are for the spring. It seems like they've almost been testing him against righties far more than they would during the season, just to see if he can stay above some respectable threshold against righties. Because while a LOOGY is a good idea in theory, you can't have a guy avoid pitching to right-handed batters all season. They must believe that Fultz is nowhere close to major-league calibre against righties right now. And even from what I've seen I would have to agree.

Re: Breslow claimed off waivers, added to 40
We were just told Aaron Fultz is not going to be on the club. He will likely be designated for assignment later today, and newly acquired Craig Breslow will be given the first crack at making the roster as the second left-hander in the bullpen.
General Manager Mark Shapiro also said Cliff Lee will be the No. 5 starter. Aaron Laffey and Jeremy Sowers have been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.
The final bullpen spot hasn't been officially announced, but I have a VERY strong suspicion it will be given to veteran right-hander Jorge Julio.
I like all of the above decisions.

...so I can be excited when we trade him to the Yankees for a C+ prospect.

Re: Breslow claimed off waivers, added to 40
I guess it has to be the entire salary, hence the drama about the Red Sox putting Manny on waivers a few years ago and basically demonstrating to him that no other team was willing to pay his salary.
So are there any circumstances where a team wouldn't be responsible for a player's full salary after picking him up? Maybe if Fultz clears waivers but refuses his assignment to the minors or something? I would think in that case he would forfeit his entire contract though.
Ahh, such are the minutiae of early spring.

Re: Breslow claimed off waivers, added to 40
As Fultz is a veteran, he cannot be shipped off to the minors without his consent.
Therefore, when we place him on waivers, if another team claims him, they take on his contract as is.
If nobody claims him (I doubt anyone will), he becomes a free agent. If anybody signs him once he is a free agent, they only have to pay him the prorated minimum salary for whatever time he is on their 25 man roster. Whatever that prorated salary is, comes off what the Tribe owes on his guaranteed salary, they pay the balance.

And if he's not claimed, let's hope that at least the Tigers sign him so we can benefit from his suckitude while we're paying most of his salary.

Re: Breslow claimed off waivers, added to 40
Sure if the Tribe asks him to go to Buffalo and he wants to, he can. My guess is he tries to hook up with another team desperate for bullpen help. Even if he starts in the minors for them (think Elarton), whatever his ml salary with that team would still come off what the Tribe owes him.
