Mass Haas	Brewers Free Up 40-Man Roster Spot -- 1B Joe Koshansky Outrighted to Nashville		Lead	[-]
Posts: 19574 July 7, 2009 12:22 PM Minor League Link Reporter	Tags : None Let any speculation begin -- call-up not on the 40-man roster previously? Acquisition via trade? The Brewers freed up a 40-man roster spot today by outrighting first baseman Joe Koshansky to AAA Nashville. The Brewers had claimed Koshansky on waivers from Texas this spring -- the Rangers owned him for a few days after claiming him from the Rockies, where he posted fine career numbers in the high air of the PCL and other Rockie affiliates.

Was he just removed from the 40 but is still in Nashville? By being removed does that mean he has to clear waivers to stay there? Either way, interesting timing to be clearing a 40 man spot the day after an off day. There has to be a reason..right?

I would have thought if they were going to call someone up, it would be Parra. I have a blog! Revel in the mediocrity! The Mase Place! Updated regularly!

Posts: 8013 July 7, 2009 1:26 PM Hipster, CWFHA	It might just be that Koshansky is having the worst season of his minor league career and there's no good reason for him to be on the 40-man at this point. Cody pitched yesterday, so he wouldn't be available to pitch again until Saturday. Chase Wright has been ok, I guess. I'd like it if Heether were called up, but unless the corollary move is sending down Gamel, it's not going to happen, and doesn't do anything to answer who our next starting pitcher is. Edit: Nevermind, Wright was just put on the AAA DL. Nick Green replaced him on the AAA roster. Green is coming off some shoulder problems - would they want him in the big league rotation a few starts removed from being shut down for more than a month? Probably not.

Posts: 1101 July 7, 2009 1:29 PM	Yeah, my initial thought was Chris Cody (he's not on the 40-man roster).

He would have had to clear irrevocable waivers to be outrighted.

Posts: 1104 July 7, 2009 1:56 PM	If Cody is available to start Saturday, it could be him, coming up to fill the spot left vacant by McClung getting pulled from the rotation for one start, then bringing Parra back fresh after the ASB and one more Minor league start.

Posts: 9458 July 7, 2009 1:59 PM	Yeah, Dillard is on the 40 man. I don't think it's Heether, since that would mean that Gamel is getting sent down and if that were to happen it likely would have happened during the off day yesterday. My guess is there's a trade right now or they're preparing for one in the coming weeks and keeping a spot open since there's really no good reason to have Koshansky on the 40 man.
