Wow. Please be LA Stella to ATL. Please FW.
Wow. When does Gwinnett's season end? There can't be very many games left for him to get into.
Just three games. Their season ends on Tuesday.Originally Posted by skillet
So then why make this move? It has to mean there is either a trade to be announced tomorrow or else they want someone up from the minors on the roster tomorrow so that they will be eligible for post-season play.
DOB said it's just to get him some AB's.
He'll likely be called up right after rosters expand.
thank you weso1!
That doesn't make any sense. Three games, maybe 12 at-bats? And if he isn't brought up until Wednesday he won't be eligible for post-season play.
Yeah, I'm not really comprehending the official line behind why this move was made. There will be plenty of opportunities to get Gattis major league ABs the entire month of September. There must be somebody they really want to get on the 25-man before tomorrow.
12 abs, at this time of the year especially, is enough to get someone's bat back in action.

Gattis will be post season eligible.
The rule is a player must be in your ORGANIZATION by August 31st. Not your 25 man roster
Where does it say that?
Post-Season Roster Eligibility
1. All players on a club's MLB Active List (25-man roster) as of midnight (Eastern) on August 31st are eligible to be included on the club's post-season (LDS, LCS, or World Series) 25-man roster. Players who are on an MLB club's Disabled List, Bereavement List, Paternity List, Military List, Suspended List, or Restricted List (Prohibited Substance Suspension or extended Bereavement Leave only) as of midnight (Eastern) on August 31st are also eligible to be included on the club's post-season 25-man roster, but only after spending the minimum number of days required to be served by a player on that list. Players on the Disqualified List, Ineligible List, or Restricted List (for reasons other than extended Bereavement Leave or a Prohibited Substance Suspension) as of midnight August 31st are not eligible. Thus, as long as more than 25 players are eligible, the club's MLB Active List (25-man roster) can be "tweaked" prior to the start of each post-season series.
2. Generally, a post-season eligible player who is on an MLB Disabled List (7-day, 15-day, or 60-day) at the conclusion of the MLB regular season can be replaced on his club's LDS, LCS, or World Series Active List (25-man roster) by any player (regardless of position) who was in the club's organization as of midnight (Eastern) on August 31st, including players acquired from another organization prior to midnight on August 31st and minor leaguers who were not on the club's MLB 40-man roster at that time. Any player who is placed directly onto an MLB 60-day Disabled List after August 1st is NOT eligible to be replaced on a post-season roster (and is not eligible to be reinstated from the 60-day DL and placed onto the club's MLB Active List until 60 days have passed), but a player who is transferred from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL after August 1st is eligible to be replaced. Players on the Disqualified List, Ineligible List, or Restricted List (for reasons other than extended Bereavement Leave or a Prohibited Substance Suspension) as of midnight (Eastern) on August 31st are not eligible to be a "replacement player." A player who is on a Disabled List or who is serving a Prohibited Substance Suspension cannot be a post-season "replacement player" until the player has served the required minimum number of days (if on a DL) or games (if suspended). If the "replacement player" is on a minor league reserve list, the player must be added to his club's MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) before he can be made eligible for the post-season.
3. A post-season eligible player who is injured prior to the start of a post-season series can (with approval of the MLB Commissioner) be replaced on his club's MLB Active List (25-man roster) for that series by another player (regardless of position) who was in the club's organization as of midnight August 31st, including players acquired from another organizaiton prior to midnight August 31st and minor league players who were not on the club's MLB 40-man roster at that time. Players on the Disqualified List, Ineligible List, or Restricted List (for reasons other than extended Bereavement Leave or a Prohibnited Substance Suspension) as of midnight August 31st are not eligible to be a "replacement player." A player who is on a Disabled List or who is serving a Prohibited Substance Suspension cannot be a post-season "replacement player" until the player has served the required minimum number of days (if on a DL) or games (if suspended). If a replacement player is on a minor league reserve list, the player mustr be added to his club's 40-man roster before he can be made eligible for the post-season.
4. A post-season eligible player who is injured during a post-season series can (with approval of the MLB Commissiner) be replaced on his club's MLB Active List (25-man roster) prior to the conclusion of that series by another player (albeit in this case a pitcher must replace a pitcher and a position player must replace a position player) who was in the club's organization as of midnight August 31st, including players acquired from another organizaton prior to midnight August 31st and minor league players who were not on the club's MLB 40-man at that time. Players on the Disqualified List, Ineligible List, or Restricted List (for reasons other than extended Bereavement Leave or a Prohibnited Substance Suspension) as of midnight August 31st are not eligible to be a "replacement player." A player who is on a Disabled List or who is serving a Prohibited Substance Suspension cannot be a post-season "replacement player" until the player has served the required minimum number of days (if on a DL) or games (if suspended). If a replacement player is on a minor league reserve list, the player mustr be added to his club's 40-man roster before he can be made eligible for the post-season.
5. If an injured pitcher or position player is replaced during a post-season series, the injured pitcher or position player is ineligible to be reinstated to his club's Active List (25-man roster) for the balance of that series and the next series (LCS or World Series).

Well that's not really true about the rule, but you are correct about Gattis will indeed be post-season eligible. A player must be on the 25 man roster by midnight on August 31 in order to be postseason eligible. However, if someone previously from your 25 man were still on the DL at the end of the yr, you could replace him with any player who was in your organization on August 31st. Since we have several players on the DL who won't be back before the post-season, Gattis will definitely be eligible.
So basically if we had no players on the DL at the end of year, then Gattis wouldn't be eligible.
We discuss this every year. He is eligible for the post season.
No where does it say the the 25 man roster you have at midnight on August 31 is what you have to start the playoffs.
It says the on August 31 the players on your 25 man roster are eligible to be INCLUDED on your post season roster

Ok.
I'm getting confused by this. Any player placed on the DL over the course of this entire season, that is still disabled, is eligible to be used for replacement purposes Hudson/Martinez/Venters/Pastornicky, etc. ??? Even if they are on the 40-man?
"A post-season eligible player who is injured prior to the start of a post-season series can (with approval of the MLB Commissioner) be replaced on his club's MLB Active List (25-man roster) for that series by another player (regardless of position) who was in the club's organization as of midnight August 31st,"
Someone is going to go on the DL with a headache the last day of the season
Probably Constanza (who appears to be the guy that will be called up tomorrow.)
Actually it does, but not in the same words. But like any rule in baseball, there are loop holes, mostly through injuries. Anyone can sub in for an injured player as long as they are in your organization. But technically if you had no one on the DL from August 30th through the end of the season, then only the 25 man roster you had on Sept !st would be eligible.
Now obviously a team having no one on the DL rarely, if ever, happens, but still, those are the rules
If I am understanding your question correctly, then yes.
It used to be that you had to swap position for position. So we couldn't replace say Huddy with Gattis. If we wanted Gattis on the playoff roster, we'd have to replace him with Reed Johnson.
A player just has to have been on the 25 man before September 1. That is the only requirement. Everyone who has been up at any point is eligible.
