I think this brings up some great points, and it also makes me wonder if this isn't a guy I would be willing to try to sneak through waivers if he is out of options so that I could stash him at AAA and have him available if and when an emergency arises or after roster expansion. It's a risk of course and he might be grabbed up, but that is a way I might look at this and an approach I would seriously consider.
