As I understand it, DFA Wiki Gonzalez is another way of placing him on the waiver wire, such that he is either gone or could return to NOLa if nobody claims him?

Hmmm. Where would the Nats find an emergency emergency catcher now?

Thanx again!

A player may only be designated for assignment if the 40-man roster is full and a player needs to be added. If a trade is made, a player is often designated for assignment to make immediate room for him on the 40-man roster. Most often, a player is designated for assignment when the team doesn't have time to wait for him to clear waivers to add another player to the roster. Since any player who is removed from the 40-man must clear waivers to be released or sent to the minors, any player who isn't traded within the 10 day span must pass through waivers. The only time a designated player can be returned to the roster is when the player provides proof of an injury that hindered performance, in which case the team will place that player on the disabled list.</p> <p>Hat tip to <a href="http://dcbb.blogspot.com/2006/01/transaction-rules.html' rel="nofollow">Chris at Capitol Punishment</a></p> Designated for assignment = When a player has been designated for assignment, his team has 10 days to decide to return him to the active roster, outright him to the minors, trade him, or release him.

If he is injured why wouldn't the Nats start him in some sort of rehab? Another injured pitcher is not what the Nat's need on the 25 man roster. Does he have to pass a physical before the signing is official?</p> What injury would he be claiming in a grievance? If he is injured why wouldn’t the Nats start him in some sort of rehab?

I was impressed how he handle Mike and the other pitchers. When Harper's finger heals he'll probably be the first choice since he is younger.</p> Castilo at NOLA is very good defensive catcher.

I’d prefer to see Castillo be brought up. His leadership behind the plate is fantastic. He was the starter for the Dominican WBC team and his manager spoke highly of him.

Tom - would you happen to be related to a recently recalled Nationals pitcher?

He was excellent in the WBC. I feel bad for Wiki, though. What a bunch of bouncing around (career-wise and emotionally). Although, I wonder if with our pitching problems, we will ever carry another catcher?</p> I’d love to see Castillo brought up - he was my first choice in the backup derby to begin with.
