re: Stein Says McGuire Get Waived Is Realistic Possibility

Ah.

"A 10-day contract is just that, a player contract which lasts ten days (or three games, whichever comes later). Teams may sign players to 10-day contracts starting January 5 each season. Teams cannot sign players to 10-day contracts that would extend past their last regular season game. In other words, after their 80th game (64th in 2011-12) or after the 10th day before their last regular season game (whichever comes first) teams can no longer sign 10-day contracts.

A team may sign a single player to two 10-day contracts in one season (they may or may not be consecutive). After the second 10-day contract, the team can only retain the player by signing him for the remainder of the season. A team can't have more 10-day contracts than they have players on their Inactive List."

So now we have Miller on the Inactive list, and can sign these guys, and this would leave a spot open if we utilized one of these at some point.

This could be it.

ETA: removed a 1 that appeared after the 5 in January 5 that made it look like January 51. Sorry.
