Btw, just soyou know, if he ha options, demote him to te minors. You will then be able to waive him for the purposes of removing him fromthe 40 man roster. You won't be able to remove him until he clears, and in no way required to remove him, but will allow you to waive him. The only catch is you can't promote him for 14 days ( I think that's the length) unless you put somebody inthe DL. this prob doesn't help as you posted this 2 months ago, but hopefully helps in the future.
