... Denny Bautista, Chris Bootcheck, and Craig Hansen are off the 40-man roster. Hansen is really the only one of the three that's news, but it probably has more to do with his injury than anything else. The story says on Bootcheck has elected to go to free agency, so Bautista will probably sign another minor league deal and be around to haunt our nightmares once more. I guess Hansen might, too, but a lot of that depends on his injury. ...
