Brewers sign Mike Cameron (1yr/$6.22 mil + 2009 Team Option)

[Minigoon]

Not that it is a big deal, but was there an announcement as far as who comes off the 40 man to make room for Cameron? Best that I can tell was that the 40 man was full prior to his signing.

[And That]

Yes, someone has to be removed. The odds on favorite to be DFA'd is Drew Anderson. Nothing is official yet.

For those of you wondering about the 40-man roster move, none will have to be made until Cameron is ready to come off of suspension, so they will be able to keep an extra person on the roster until the 26th game of the season.

 

Wow, didn't guess or know that. Interesting if true, which apparently it is.

I know he won't count against the 25 man roster during his suspension but this is interesting. I hope Haudricourt can clear this up and see if this guy is right.

The powers of Drew Anderson are both wide and vast.

Haudricourt just posted that as far as he knows, Cameron will count against the 40-man, so someone will have to be removed.

The 1510 Sports Update just noted that Drew Anderson was the victim.

 

 

EDIT: Hardicourt confirms
