dolfinfan305 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Former Marlin Jason Grilli was optioned to Triple A by the White Sox. Wasnt he chosen in the Rule 5 Draft from the Marlins? Doesnt that mean he would have to be offered back to us if he didnt make the team? White Sox | Grilli Sent to Triple-A - from www.KFFL.com Thu, 1 Apr 2004 10:46:22 -0800 The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports the Chicago White Sox optioned P Jason Grilli to Triple-A Charlotte.

NC_Marlin Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'm pretty certain that rule 5 players have to be on the 25 man roster, hence the gamble in taking kids in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag5 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 RotoWorld - The Marlins elected not to take Grilli, a Rule 5 pick, back, knowing that if they tried to send him outright to the minors, he could and would reject the assignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clears that up thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsFans46 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Why didn't we have tried to assign him to the minors - the worst that could have happened was he rejects it and becomes a free agent, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 stupid move by the marlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossInfoMan Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 No, the stupid move would be to offer $25k or $50k, whatever the amount is to get a rule 5 player back, to the White Sox, just so he would promptly become a free agent. Why waste the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
