Giants place Mike Fontenot on Irrevocable Outright Waivers. 

Currently, Brett Pill is only shown as 1B, CI, and UT position eligible in Fantrax.  I wish for him to be made 2B eligible, as he played in 57 games last year at Fresno, the AAA affiliate of the Giants.   Our rules state that a player must have played at a certain position 20 games in the previous year to be eligible for that position this year.  It doesn't specify that it must be in the major leagues.  If the majors were the only play that counts, then any rookie coming up couldn't be used until he meets the 20 game (or current year 10 game requirement) to be eligible. 

Kenny requested that I put my request on the transaction board, and if there are no objections (he didn't have one), then Pill would become 2B eligible in Fantrax.
