I think the Washburn ship has sailed. The Mariners had their chance.

As for Melancon, I’d rather let him ride out the season in AAA than throw him to the wolves in the bigs and expect him to be the bullpen savior.

Apparently Washburn has cleared waivers….think the Yanks are going after him?

Maybe if the pen keeps this up we see Melancon in the Bronx this season after all

Didn’t think Matsui coming back would be at all possible, he’ll probably wear down quickly, even at DH

Billy Traber sucks.

Billy Traber? I guess they could use a fresh arm, but Traber? Refried beans.

Well any healthy body coming back that can contribute is vital right now as the seasons dwindles down.

Melvin Croussett. He’s got a cool name.

It says that Traber is with the team.

LoHud is reporting the D-Rob could be on his way out.

Who would take his place is an interesting question.

….but Melky had 3 hits yesterday.

Ok, I stopped being his biggest apologist. He needs a new batting coach.
