This might be the reason you did not see a transaction. The other reason is that the league office is lazy and misses a lot of things!

There are two types of waivers:
Revocable waivers this is where you put a player on the waiver wire to "test the market" a opposing team could claim that player but at that point the player can by pulled back off. At this point the team that put the player on waivers will try to make a trade with the team that wanted to claim...

Arroyo being claimed off waivers was on the Can-Am transactions.

'Cause Abbie was the closest thing we had to a "franchise player" - not to mention that I got to know him well enough to consider him a personal acquaintance rather than just a player.

As for the veteran count, I think...

AA roster rules state the maximum number of verterans (5+ years of service) is 4.

Abner is (already) gone so it won't matter.

How many Veteran players are allowed on a roster, Will Smith, Pat Mahomes, Ben VanIderstine, Josh Patton make 4, I guess if they could have 5 it would be a shame to loose Abner

They must know something, because to me it doesn't make much sense to trade your starting first basemen (Jabe Bergeron) for a possible replacement.

This article makes it sound as if he's set to play for SC, though I guess it never really does say he has been signed. http://www.xsbaseball.com/box/x/?id=6343

I think they acquired the rights to Abner. Should Abner decide to play in the U.S.this year, SC would have the first crack at signing him.

Ottawa is where former SC manager Nottle is, I believe. Maybe he was helping us out

I was surprised to check the transactions today and see that SC acquired Arroyo. That's a huge pickup.

No Abner Arroyo this year.

According to Shirley on the Canaries website, he's trying to make the Puerto Rican Olympic team and go to Beijing this summer. Since he wasn't sure if he'd be available to play in Sioux Falls, he asked the Canaries to release him so we could fill the roster spot with somebody else.

And now a Can-Am League team has picked him up off waivers, so...

All I know is that when we played against Patton I really disliked him. So that must mean that when he is playing for us, I will love it! Can't wait for the season!

Agreed! That guy just flat out hits. I can't remember him ever striking out when we've played him.

I think its great that a player like Josh Patton has chosen to come to SF, hes a quality player and a class act. It sounds like Mr. Shirley has the respect of the best players in the league if they believe they can come to SF and be Champions

I hope you're right. I was shocked when they dealt Moreno, but I see they claimed Juan Camacho off waivers from El Paso. I think they bring the same attributes to the team and Camacho was a guy that I became a fan of when El Paso was in town.
