Don't you have to call up everyone on the 40-man come September 1st?

Nope, you can call up as many as you want.

[Coach Owens]

I'm glad three people answered that question

That's how we roll.

[Jeffy25]

so who didn't get signed, the big names.

[asianinvasion]

So what position will Ackley play? I've heard center but we already have Gutierrez and Saunders. Could he move to second and have Lopez move to first and have Carp DH.

[metsguy234]

so who didn't get signed, the big names.

Matz, Purke, a few others I'm not aware of.

Aaron Crow is one of them

No, if you call somebody up, they must go on your 40 man roster, but you can only call up 8 additional players, you're not forced to carry 40 with you.

Aaron Crow is one of them

He didn't have to be signed by the deadline.

[TheBest21]

Matz, Purke, a few others I'm not aware of.

Tampa Bay's first round pick, Levon Washington, did not sign. And apparently he doesn't even qualify for college at Florida. Probably gonna go the JC route.

[wahoosamC]

Matz, Purke, a few others I'm not aware of.

Washington is another.

[HoustonGM]

Aaron Crow is one of them

Crow wasn't subjected to these same rules since he graduated college already.

[TheBest21]

He didn't have to be signed by the deadline.

Yea, he has until next year's draft to sign because he played in independent ball. Same way with 1st round supplemental pick, Tanner Scheppers, who was drafted by the Rangers.

[asianinvasion]

Crow wasn't subjected to these same rules since he graduated college already.

Oh yea forgot bout that. Still hasn't signed though which was Jeffy's question
