Buchholz and Paulino are not in yellow. That means I can drop them with no cap hit right? Also, I noticed that Angel Pagan is both on my mimor league roster and on the FA list. Would be nice to know if I still have him on my team or not. Thanks.

[BrewCrew]

Pretty sure the day to drop people for free already passed?

I may be wrong though.

[Daniel]

I thought it was until the start of the season

[chicubs33]

Can I claim Paulino if he's a FA?

[Lindner]

I think Tampa might be interested in claiming Boof Bonser.  He would fit Tampa's player choosing credentials.

[BrewCrew]

Jays would like to claim Acosta.

Angel Pagan is a free agent. He was in the minors at the time on rehab and I didn't catch that. I haven't been clear on the cutoff date and don't see any harm in releasing said players, so you can do that without penalty.

[Daniel]

I would like to keep pagan if possible

[kenny]

Upon further review, Pagan was incorrectly listed by myself as a free agent. 2012 is his last year of arbitration, which for this league means he stays with the Mets at his 2011 salary ($3,500,000).

Sorry for all the confusion.

[Daniel]

Great, thanks.
