Matthew's Update: Re-mind about Petit. He has cleared waivers now and been sent to Tacoma. Somehow, Gaby Hernandez was claimed. By Boston.
I have just received notice that Yusmeiro Petit has not cleared waivers. He hasn't been claimed, but he hasn't yet cleared, either. I have no idea where the original rumor started, but I picked it up from Rotoworld, and they're usually pretty good about these things, so, sorry. You Yusmeiro Petit fans are in for at least one more sleepless night.
The same goes for Gaby Hernandez. He's still claimable as well. You Gaby Hernandez fans are...well you guys are something.

MLB rumors had this,
they linked to the Mariners transaction page, which had a whole list of moves that have now disappeared.

He is sort of like a fawn. A tall fawn.
With two legs.

Aw lugnuts

I'm a fan of Gaby Hernandez because the trade for him was one of the only good things that happened in 2008.
joof - February 10, 2010
That, and that he doesn't get ticked off every time somebody refers to him as "Gaby."
It’s just impossible to DFA a “Gabriel.”

Gabby Hernandez fans...are make-believe
Just like elves, gremlins, and Eskimos.

Just when I'd finally come around on the M's having a good offseason
this happens. Oh well.

See.
Proof positive that the blogosphere is ruining America.

I know, I hate blogs....
Wait….

Well, I actually am a Yusmeiro fan.
I realize right field in Safeco wouldn’t control his fly ball problems as well as left field could have, but still I had a dream…
diderot - February 10, 2010
Bye Bye Gaby.
But Yusmeiro is ours, and you can’t have him!
srm07 - February 10, 2010
Yep.
Gaby —→ Sawx.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - February 10, 2010
To make room, Boston DFAs Robert Manuel...
… the guy we got when we traded Balentien.
srm07 - February 10, 2010
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT.
Is what I would be doing if I had anything to drink.
JY - February 10, 2010
Odd.
OlSalty - February 10, 2010
So is Jesus Colome
But I don’t mind anyone having him
Trenchtown - February 10, 2010
Jeff Sullivan jinxed this into happening :(
Dewey N - February 10, 2010
NOOOO!!!
FUCK THE RED SOX AND ALL THAT THEY STAND FOR!!! THEY HAVE STOLEN ALL THAT I EVER HELD DEAR!!!
I Lick Squirrels - February 10, 2010
Gaby Hernandez claimed by the Red Sox
Get me Felix Hernandez!
He’s unavailable.
Then get me his non-union Mexican equivalent!
Janic - February 10, 2010
I can see someone dropping a headline on a Red Sox fan site ...
… “Sox obtain Hernandez from Seattle”, then sitting back and watching the frenzy erupt. Cheap (but humorous) way to drive the hit counter.
Steve Nelson - February 10, 2010
So now we get nothing for Arthur Rhodes???
What a bunch of hooey
Poochie - February 10, 2010
That means he's finally dead!
Robert - February 10, 2010
He's not dead
Until Omar Vizquel’s jeweler says he’s dead!
wandergeist - February 10, 2010
Who in the hell is that?
Did I miss a Rainiers game last year?

Maybe he's a 'high character' guy.
The Cubs are using that method to sign terrible pitchers, so maybe it’s catching on.
From ESPN:
“The Cubs have added several players regarded as high-character guys such as… pitcher Carlos Silva.”
[I disagree with the characterization of Silva, but then again, it is the Cubs.]
tcharles - February 11, 2010
Yeah, by Cubs' standards
Silva is a high-character guy.
wandergeist - February 11, 2010
I just thought of Zambrano and Silva together.
I almost want to follow the Cubs this year just to monitor the interactions between those two.
