Must mean one of the catchers is being sent packing here because you can only add one position player and one pitcher. Unless they dont play on bringing Teel back up this season?

This is Bizarro World, the absolute dumbest thing possible. Edited August 31Aug 31 by Falstaff
August 31Aug 31 There’s just no way this makes them better, and this is coming from someone who wanted them to find another outfielder

After all, if you're willing to deal with Pham, you can deal with Robert.
August 31Aug 31 Word on the street is Getz thinks there is something in Pham's swing that they can fix

August 31Aug 31 Because Teel, Thorpe, and Brazoban are all on the 40 man and also on a rehab assignment can they be called up later and still be on the playoff roster ?

August 31Aug 31 This has got Reinsdorf written all over it. Most of us agreed Getz was handcuffed at the deadline due to our top-heavy system limiting the deals to be made. Cash was king and they spent some cash instead of prospects. Waiver wire is all cash, afaik, which means it’s the perfect time to upgrade the roster. Great attendance, winning team, let’s do it!But not Jerry! Tommy f’n Pham? Really?!? Sorry ass owner.
August 31Aug 31 Author Have a feeling this is more in line with my "claim Robert to play against lefties" idea, minus improving the defense. Guessing Grichuk ends up in the OF more against lefties (he already did occasionally anyway). Just don't really love the fit since he's washed. Edited August 31Aug 31 by Bob Sacamano
August 31Aug 31 Pham pinch hits off the bench and can play LF if needed.All the sudden Robert goes from no way to way.
