Who could be off the 40 man roster?

[scaffolds]

Its well known that the Red Sox 40 man roster as today stands at only 33 players, but the Sox has a bunch of openings and needs. The possible addition from the rule 5 draft and trades the Sox could need to make room in the 40 man roster. Who could be move out of the roster?

 

1- Kyle Snyder

2- David Pauley

3- Lenny Dinardo

I think Snyder showed enough that he'd find a home elsewhere if let go, and maybe that's OK. Pauley could be moved off the 40. Dinardo I'd guess stays or is packaged away after a good AFL stint.

 

To be honest, I think I'd let Gabbard go in favor of Spann. Mediocre peripherals and production throughout the minors - doesn't miss bats or throw strikes. Seems like he's just pretty big and lefty. You've probably got information that can backup or contradict that, Scaff, but that's my layman's view. Spann may never be great or even good at the MLB level but I'll keep the guy who keeps working and improving.

Bosox; There was talk since early in the off season that it was very likely that the Sox wasn't going to tender Snyder a contract, with the new baseball deal the non tender has been change, i believe that is now around December 10 (but I am not sure about that date) I was also very surprised that Spann wasn't placed on the 40 man roster, but he can't be place on it until after the rule 5 draft.

There is no reason to add Ellsbury at this time.
