The Washington Nationals outrighted left-hander Micah Bowie and outfielder Alex Escobar to Class AAA Columbus, clearing two more spaces on the 40-man roster. Escobar, who has been injured throughout his career, never appeared in a major league game this season because of a variety of ailments.

Escobar netted the Sox Jerry Owens. Maybe KW can keep up with his fetish for re-acquiring guys he trades and put in a claim on Escobar...
The Rangers outrighted Eyre, right-handed pitcher Mike Wood, catcher Chris Stewart and outfielder Kevin Mahar off the 40-man roster.

Is Stewart a better 3rd catcher option than Donny Lucy?? If so, put in a claim.
Not an ex-Sox persay, but... self-proclaimed Sox fan Jody Gerut is healthy again and playing well in winter ball. Maybe he's worth a look for the 4th OF spot, assuming he can stay healthy all season. Worth a minor league NRI... :shrug:
Free agent Jody Gerut went 3-for-4 with a homer and a double Tuesday for Oriente of the VWL.
Gerut hasn't done much of anything since suffering a torn ACL in Sept. 2004, but he's back playing after essentially two years off, and if he keeps hitting, there will likely be several teams interested in signing him to a minor league contract. It's possible that he could be a pretty good reserve.
