Chan Ho Park designated for assignment
ByVia Marc Carig, Chan Ho Park has been designated for assignment to clear room on the roster for Kerry Wood. Al Aceves was moved to the 60-day DL to free up a 40-man roster spot for Austin Kearns.
I was definitely a fan of the CHoP pick up at the time, but it obviously didn’t work out. Despite peripherals similar to last year, he became incredibly homer prone and just generally unreliable. He did give us this, however, and for that we will be eternally grateful.

YEAAAAA!

(The best part is Mariano cracking up in the background. Mariano.)
What he meant to say there was that he pitched like diaeeeeeeha
When you’re sliding into first and your pants are ’bout to burst,
Dialea (CLAP-CLAP)
Dialea (CLAP-CLAP)
and the Parenthood reference comes in.
Finally.
Break out the keg, it’s party time.
At last, our long national nightmare has come to an end.
Don’t let the toilet seat hit you on the way out, Chan Ho.
Now to call up Albie and DFA Gaudin.
Then the monster is dead.
I’m surprised some NL contender didn’t throw a D level prospect or PTBNL at Cash for him.
They still can trade him, have something like 10 days to find a taker.
Thanks. I wasn’t sure how it worked with the deadline.
He’d have to clear waivers either way (via the deadline expiring or via the DFA). Nobody’s touching that salary, though.
It’s a down economy and unemployment benefits have not been renewed… so why waste… now they can get him for pennies on the dollar.
CHoP gave up as many HR’s as Mo, Joba and Robertson combined.
And the first head of the three headed Chad Ho Moseley hydra falls.
Praise Mo.
Sweet Neptune!
Wish it had worked out. Maybe they should have let him keep the beard.
it was a dream to see my native countryman play in pinstripes… emotions aside, it’s a smart move.
Would’ve rather seen Gaudin go though.
I was definitely a fan of the CHoP pick up at the time, but it obviously didn’t work out.
Repeated for emphasis. A move not working out the way you want it to doesn’t mean it’s a bad move.
Yup. Much like the Winn signing.

This point is so difficult for people who’ve never done anything like this to understand.
In this one small way, it actually helps to have been a fantasy baseball owner. Sometimes, you analyze moves left, right, up, down, top and bottom, and you think you have it locked down as a sound move. And then, for no real reason at all, it doesn’t work.
jesus listens!
This is the best move of the day. (only half kidding)
tosh’d
i got that too haha
TALK IS CHEAP, MUTHAF#$%A!
i wanna tattoo that across my chest.
like Berkman hitting second.
Wow speaking of ninja moves, Red Sox grab Salty from the Rangers
Has he figured out how to throw the ball back to the pitcher again yet?
Hes doing that thing from Major League 2, memorizing the Victoria Secret catalog.
why did they dfa him today? Wood won’t be in the pen tonight, right?
He’s probably on his way to Tampa right now… it’s like a 2 hour flight from Cleveland to Tampa. Should be on his way now, if not already on a plane.
except he was in toronto.
lol same shit bro
…no. It’s several hundred miles further away.
and in a different country
They probably had to add Wood to the roster ahead of the trade deadline, so they had to clear the 25-man slot.
That.
Wood/Kearns/Berkman all went official today, so Melancon/Aceves/Park all have to disappear from the 40-man today and Curtis/Miranda/Park all have to disappear from the active roster today as well.
If we play shorthanded, it is what it is.
I don’t know if there are any special circumstances becautse of the trade deadline but usually u have 3 days o place an aquired player on your active roster.
I guess J was right: Wood may be in Tampa for today’s game but I don’t think he’ll pitch. We won’t need him either way because Javy will pitch a complete game shutout
You can’t have any more than 40 men on the active roster at any moment, it’s separate from the 25-man active roster which only matters for games. As soon as the Berkman, Kearns, and Wood trades became official, the Yankees had to DFA Park and 60-day Aceves to clear the 2nd and 3rd spots (since Melancon already cleared one).
Sorry:
“You can’t have any more than 40 men on the
activeMLB roster at any moment, it’s separate from the 25-man active roster which only matters for games.”“Joelsherman1 #Yankees like that Girardi caught Wood from 2000-02 with #Cubs and feel he knows how to help Wood as pitcher”
speechless.
Probably a tipping point in the decision to pursue Wood.
See ya…Chan(Ho there it goes outta the )Park… don’t let the door (everyone & everything) hit you on the way out.
@PeteAbe Big day for the #RedSox so far. They dump two spare parts and get a catcher who was a good prospect two years ago
Peter has officially lost it.
I’m pretty sure he is being sarcastic.
I’m not so sure. He sounds serious.
No, he was being sarcastic.
in giving up mendez they probably gave up more potential for salty than we did in all our deals combined.
I honestly can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not from Ham.
Not being able to tell if something is sarcastic is usually the hallmark of bad sarcasm.
That, or it’s the serious statement of an idiot.
He just confirmed he’s being sarcastic. So… yeah. Meh.
Biggest news out of the Sox camp all day!

Park DFA’d ! Who says there’s no Santa Claus ?
CHOP apparently asked A-Rod to sign an A-Rod jersey on the way out of the clubhouse. I’m sorry, but that’s hilarious.
Based on all the transactions – with Aceves shift to the 60 day – I’m counting 39/40 slots taken with an open slot (another trade pending?)
Where am I missing the extra player?
SLOTS Taken (39/40) – 2 on 60 day DL = 41 slots

nevermind… caught mistake #39 2x
Its about time
I’d lose Gaudin over Park, but whatever. I hope he gets picked up by a NL team and has a good end of the season.
It’s about time we got rid of park.
Our long national nightmare is over!
Who was the Journolista laughing like his brother farted in church?
As a South Korean, That’s a pity for him……
But I like Chan Ho Park SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Postscript
I’m not good at english though.
Finally! Thank god.
