It's Transaction Time Again!

"It's transaction time again, you're gonna leave me. I can see that far away look in your eyes. I can tell the way you hold the ball, darlin' that it won't be long before it's transaction time..."

Another week has passed and we are a week closer to Opening Day. That fact was unfortunate for many players who had hoped to open the season with their big league clubs. We honor those unfortunate souls with this week's look at the transaction wire.

- It wasn't Pridie when the Twins told Jason he was headed for the minors. The Twins also demoted another outfielder and told David that some times you Winfree and some times you losefree. But either way, he is free to head out of the big league camp.

- In other Twins news, if pitcher, Bobby, was upset about his demotion, he Keppeled it to himself. Another pitcher, Sean, didn't get to stay in the big league bullHenn, he's going to the minors. His temper upon hearing the news was as prickly as a garden full of Henn and chicks.

- The Braves had a busy Thursday paring down their roster. Bobby Cox had trouble to Sammons up the courage to let catcher Clint know he didn't make the team. An infielder, Hernandez, wrote in his Diory that he'll have to keep trying harder if he's going to be a big league player. The team also sent Brandon to the Hicks and told Freddie he was a Freeman.

- When the Orioles field announcer cries Wolf, they won't believe him because Ross was sent to minors.

- Apparently Cleveland didn't think the Padres could see Ryu front of their faces and thus claimed Jae Kuk off waivers.

- The Diamondbacks were hoping that their outfielder was an Alpha Romero, but he turned out only to be Alex Romero and they sent him down.

- The Orioles tested the Waters with pitcher, Chris, but didn't think much of the taste and sent him down. Speaking of drinks, the Orioles also thought that another pitcher, Kam, was a Mickolio Light. The Fan hopes the Orioles aren't heathens, because in one day they dashed the hopes of a Christian and a whole Parrish when they sent Justin and John down in the same day.

- In a Ben and Jerry moment, the Red Sox signed a Rocky Cherry to a minor league contract.

- The White Sox sent a bunch of guys down. They weren't happy and Torres wasn't Eider. Wasserman was particularly upset because he thought to Ehren was human.

- No one was real Laffey in Aaron's household when he got the news that the Indians were sending him down.

- The Astros released Danny Graves, which just might bury his career.

- Pitcher, Chris, found Narveson to hang around after he was demoted.

- Maybe Graves can get a job with the Marlins since they just signed a pitcher named Eulogio.

- Rays catcher hopeful, John, was Jaso so with his spring results and he was sent down.

- The Cubs didn't weigh the Scales in Bobby's favor and the infielder was sent down. In other Cubs roster-purging news, they told Sam he won't be in the Fuld and Jason Waddelled out of camp.

- For the Indians, Jeremy learned the men are Sowers of what they reap and was sent down. Wait! Isn't that backwards? Oh well. When Toregas found out he was cut, he was heard asking, "Wyatt me?" The club answered the Toregas hurt their eyes. If all that wasn't enough, Kirk was a Saarlooser when he was told he didn't compete well enough for a job.

- In happier news, Athletics' manager, Bob, found out he was Gerenteed a job for at least another year.

- When Twins' prospect, Matt, was asked at the beginning of Spring Training what his chances of making the club were, he knitted his eyes together and said that Macri may make the club or Macri may not. Maybe he'll at least go home with a plant hanger or something.

- If this was Star Trek, the Indians wouldn't have had to tell LaPorta that he was being moved some place else. Did you catch that one?

- And last but not least, the A's didn't feel that Carignan fit like a sweater and sent Andrew down.
