Extending Gohara, Soroka and maybe Wright

[CJ9]

Question for someone smarter than me — is there anything we can do to use Gohara’s ankle sprain at the beginning of this season to extend an extra year of service time?

We can option him down until May 10thish

No need to rush Gohara. Makes a lot of sense to give Kazmir/Fried innings first.

Soroka and Allard both sent to MiL camp. Didn't see this else where.

Biddle optioned to Gwinnett, Sanchez and McCreery optioned to Mississippi, Pache sent to MiL camp.

Puts the roster at 48

This could actually be a good thing. Let guys like Fried, Wisler get extended looks. It’s basically their last chance...so why not. Would hate to cut a Wisler or Blair right about the time they turn the corner (not that I think that’s really the case).

Would you run into any problems with the union or the cba by sending down a mlb rostered player who was injured?

I dont think you can do that while they are out of action...once they can play I think the club can choose between optioning them down or sending them down on a rehab assignment

you can't option an injured player..

correct...but there is a blurry line when he will be pitching but not be ready to throw 100 pitches in a major league game

if the fifth starter is pitching well we could have an opportunity to get an extra year of control

With amount of stretching out and rehab time Gohara will need that would coincide close to that date anyway, we should keep him down even if the fifth starter is pitching like trash.

They should be able to send him down without worry as long as he isn’t put on the MLB DL list. He should be “healed” by opening day, and then optioned to AAA to build up his pitch count.

Because of this, I would expect him to be optioned the moment he is cleared to begin any sort of activity.
