2012 Remaining Options Chart

Lonnie Chisenhall
Here is a listing of the players on the 40-man roster  - and a few others that are not on the 40-man roster - and how many option years they have remaining going into the 2012 season. This listing is up to date and includes the latest transaction with the removal of right-handed pitcher Zach Putnam from the roster and the addition of right-handed pitcher Kevin Slowey.

As an FYI, any player on the 40-man roster but not on the active 25-man Major League roster is on what is called "optional assignment". A player on optional assignment can be moved up and down an endless amount of times in one season between the Major Leagues and minor leagues and it still only counts as one option. A player is considered to have used one of their three options when he spends at least 20 days in the minors in a season. Once all of the options have been used up on a player, a player is considered to be "out of options" and must be placed on and clear waivers prior to being sent down to the minor leagues.

For future reference, this chart is listed in the "Reference" tab located along the top just below the header.

Any chance Neil Thomas makes it up at some point as a 4th OF?

Thanks. Yes, Neal definitely has a chance to be in Cleveland next year. If healthy, I think he will be the first or second option along with Carerra to get a callup when a need arises.

Great job Tony. I was just wondering what the asterisk meant.

Thx...the asterisk is that the player is eligible for a 4th option year (though I think the new CBA eliminates this or changes the requirements....will know more later).

I'd hate to lose Rondon though he may never be the same pitcher.
I wonder how he is doing, and if he will pitch next season.

Rondon will likely miss most of next season. Still recovering from fractured elbow and subsequent surgery in November.
