Johnson activated, Fuld to AAA

Ramirez activated, Blanco/Baker to AA (or DFA'd, not sure if they have options . . . I'd assume Baker does and that's why we traded for him as a Freel clone and DFA'd Freel)

Guzman activated and Patton DL'd or Shark to AAA<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I wouldn't be surprised him Hoffpauir is demoted. He been pretty shitty this year. Now that Fox is here Hoffpauir is expendable IMO.

Blanco does not have options, so this would not surprise me.

Normally a guy can be sent down an infinite number of times in a year, so does that mean it's different for Blanco because they just added him to the 40-man after he's had Major League time with anther team?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah. An option isn't used if a player isn't on the 40-man roster.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Yeah. Apparently Blanco's three option years were used up in Kansas City a long time ago.
