The Angels have designated outfielder Todd Cunningham for assignment, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register tweets. The move clears space on the Angels’ active and 40-man rosters for Tim Lincecum, who’s set to start against the Athletics today.
The 27-year-old Cunningham had played in five games for the Angels. He’s spent most of the season so far with Triple-A Salt Lake, posting a solid .299/.401/.382 line and playing all three outfield positions. Despite demonstrating good on-base ability in the minors, though, he lacks home-run power and has struggled in brief stints in the big leagues, batting just .208/.263/.255 in 114 career Major League plate appearances, mostly accumulated with the Braves in 2015.
Players the Braves should claim: Todd Cunningham and Kyle Kubitza.
That is all.
Yep
Neither Cunningham nor Kubitza have proven to be better fits at the majors than any of the players that the braves currently have on their 25 man roster. Who exactly on that roster do YOU think should be dropped to add Cunningham or Kubitza?
a) why do they have to be on the 25???? They both have options this year BRUH…
b) Brandon Snyder, Adonis Garcia, and Daniel Castro could likely pass through outright waivers without claim
c) could also cut Aybar
I forgot to add onto “a)” they have two open spots on the 40 man
