Lots of little stuff that I figured deserved a holding thread:
-Jose Lopez is back and in the lineup today.
-Yuniesky Betancourt is heading to the DL.
-Ronny Cedeno is taking over as the starting shortstop.
-Kenji Johjima is set to be activated and start tomorrow.
-Shawn Kelley is a couple days away from joining Tacoma on rehab.
-Erik Bedard's return has been pushed back to July 4 at Boston.

Come on Ronny, don't fuck this up.
Also, I’m beginning to think Bedard is playing for the Mariners in 2010.
Aaron Campeau - June 25, 2009
You think we will offer arbitration?
Seconded on the please Ronny do not suck plea.
Sec 108 - June 25, 2009
I would imagine so
and I wouldn’t be shocked to see him offered a short extension.
Aaron Campeau - June 25, 2009
I can get on board with that.
Sec 108 - June 25, 2009
What about Beltre?
Not helping his case on the FA market.
hcoguy - June 25, 2009
I doubt the team is interested in signing him long term
and if he takes a short term deal to try and recoup some market value he would be an idiot to do it here.
Aaron Campeau - June 25, 2009
The best news of the bunch
is the Shawn Kelley news. Godspeed Shawn.

Yay, Woo-Hoo!, Don't fuck this up Ronny, thank heavens fuck Rob Johnson, finally, and /surprised face

15-day DL for Yuni
P-I
lemonverbena - June 25, 2009
Let's face it
Bedard’s probably done for the season.
Jeff Sullivan - June 25, 2009
Everyone knows it.
Even Erik.
Matthew - June 25, 2009
Seriously though
at least he has a clean MRI.
Matthew - June 25, 2009
And yet here we are
Jeff Sullivan - June 25, 2009
We're 5-2 since he went on the DL!
Matthew - June 25, 2009
I can't believe there are people who want to re-sign him to a monster deal
Jeff Sullivan - June 25, 2009
I wonder what it would take to sign him.
Given the SP market out there this winter.
Matthew - June 25, 2009
Isn't pretty much everyone interesting a huge injury risk?
This could be a weird off-season.
Aaron Campeau - June 25, 2009
I want to sign Harden and Bedard
Graham MacAree - June 25, 2009
and Sheets!
Matthew - June 25, 2009
Ideally I would sign all three to 3/$15+incentive contracts
Graham MacAree - June 25, 2009
15 bucks is pretty cheap these days.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - June 25, 2009
And Webb!

It seems like with the new CBA
and financial environment teams have been getting very creative in the way they structure contracts (Griffey’s is amazing). If there is a way to minimize the risk, I’d love to sign him for something like four or five years. Maybe three guaranteed years with a base salary of, say, 8 million but as much as 16 if he pitches over 160 innings. The last two years are a mutual option that vests (for Bedard) if he makes 160IP that year. Something like that.
Bearskin Rugburn - June 25, 2009
What about in the starts that were suposed to be his?
JamMasterJesus - June 25, 2009
But he's throwing
that’s a good sign, roght? right?
Bearskin Rugburn - June 25, 2009
Jesus
Bearskin Rugburn - June 25, 2009
Woodward is down as well, anyone know when that happened and for how long?
Not that I’m thrilled at the prospect of his bat in the lineup.
As for Cedeno… There’s really never going to be a better time for him to establish a career as a regular. The bar is impossibly low, and the guy blocking him has done as much as anyone and more to make sure the door is open to him. Ronny, please. Your family is hungry, and your tattoos look ridiculous in the context of your slash line. Please Ronny.
Bearskin Rugburn - June 25, 2009
pulled groin, day to day
Matthew - June 25, 2009
Live up to the hype, Ronny!
