Guesssing more moves to come.

Why is McPherson going back down? Is Teahen back?

These are the changes we need! Now we have....8 starting pitches on the roster?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, Harrell went down. Still 7 starters.

mcpherson is DFA

Who could have seen that coming? Sometimes these moves just baffle me. Im pretty sure in the KW vs soxtalk battle, soxtalk would have won this move.

2 more mediocre pitchers called up to get knocked around by major league hitters.

 

Lol at Ozzie. The guy who was getting more playing time than both Lillibridge and Morel got DFA'd. Thank you KW!

 

I assume Marquez will be up here no longer than a week until Teahen is back.

Kenny brings up Marquez to make the Swisher trade(s) look good.

Marquez is going to be the long man out of the pen I am guessing.

Oh yeah, I was certainly not suggesting a 7-man rotation with Marquez in it. lol. I just thought it was weird considering there has been talk about us trimming the rotation down to 5, thus we would already have a starter in the bullpen. Now we will have 2.

It must mean they don't plan on cutting to 5 anytime soon.

Bruney to help Crain and at this point Marquez to assume long relief from Pena. But, when Teahna is ready it's probably Marquez down unless Bruney can't do his job. Now some here may think more moves are coming, but unless it is Tehan traded I doubt it. The folks needing to be jump started at this point are Dunn and Rios and they aren't going anywhere. Pierre is a question mark, but has been hitting better. Maybe we trade a starter? Dougtful at this point in time though

Somehow this will still cost Brent morel playing time

"Now pinch hitting, Mark Buehrle"

Garbage breeds more garbage, I guess. The lack of system depth is perplexing.

This team should fear the wrath of KW. It's in the air. The man is upset. Accountability is coming. 6/2/2011. Fires will burn.

 

I envision this line being used often:

 

"Yea so I signed you to be good, but you aren't, so now I'm trading that ass."

Has anyone heard if there is movement from B'ham to Charlotte?

Check the last post in the minor league catch-all thread.

Unfortunately there appears to be no accountability of his own. He is the key reason this team is in shambles, not Ozzie. While Ozzie is certainly a major problem, Kenny is the biggest culprit in this entire organization.

Amen on Kenny.

 

reckless spending on Dunn and Rios.

 

trading away Hudson and Gio.

 

Getting nothing for Swisher or Javier Vazquez.

 

farm system in alarming decline.

 

time for a fresh voice in the management chair.

 

Do it, Chairman. Do it.

While I agree, I also disagree to an extent. If Kenny goes, Ozzie has to as well. At this moment, Williams does not have any power over Ozzie, and Kenny is a guy with a big ego and strong personality. What happens if we replace KW with Hahn? I don't know much about Hahn's personality, but I have to imagine that he has nowhere near the personality of Williams. Ozzie would run this organization from top to bottom if Williams is sent packing and he is retained. Hell, the very act of outlasting Williams would probably build up his massive ego more.

Woo hoo 3 pitchers and one DFA guy brought up before Tank.
