Who is going to be surly's new bullpen whipping boy now that Giles is gone. Has to be someone. 

I don’t know about surly, but I do know who the Houston media pick is. Talk about beating a dead horse (no pun yada yada yada).

anyone go on the DL today so far - Blummer, Hinch, Rafael Ramirez? 

You shut your mouth.

 

It’s only 7:40 in Seattle...half the guys are still in bed. Although our luck lately, someone will try to get out of bed with a leg that’s still asleep, fall over, and break an arm trying to catch themselves

Yea I think he would be, or maybe i'm thinking to much of years previous Beltre?

He definitely gets on base more often. I was thinking Beltre would be a solid addition, too, but Gattis has some pretty good power numbers.

Springer to the DL?

That’s really not good for Springer if so. Normally they drag this out a few days, keep the guy on the bench for a game or two, mix in an off day, daily Hinch Iraq-defense-minister updates.... before retroactively putting him on the DL.

 

If they’re already pulling the trigger, that’s very disconcerting.

 

Only other choice I could see would be sending tucker down.

Are there any potential bats we could pick up off waivers? I saw Beltre might go on waivers, anyone else we could snag and put in the DH?

I keep thinking about Choo. I'm sure the Rangers would love to lose that contract. He just turned 36 and is signed through 2020.

Texas would need to eat a lot of that contract - which they may be willing to do if we offer a good prospect package. 

Choo has been great this year (277/389/486) but was pretty average the last 2, so there is some risk there. Probably won't happen. 

I'll keep banging the McCutchen drum, though he's probably not a lock to clear waivers (Choo certainly is).
