The TNT Blog says that the M's moved R.A. Dickey off the 40-man today, and he has a right to refuse assignment to the minors in order to become a free agent.  The M's also took off Sean White, because I guess they forgot to do it two weeks ago.  These moves bring the total to 36 of 40 players on the roster, none of whom are sucky Rule 5 picks by Bavasi. 

Wasn't Dickey supposed to be working with Nierko on figuring his knuckler out?  Maybe that's not working out so well.  Still, guy with no UCL, throwing butterfly pitches while making scary faces... I'm going to miss the guy if he does leave.
