Danny O'Neil has the 411
Catcher Jamie Burke has been selected from Class Triple A Tacoma and will be starting on Sunday as Rob Johnson's in-step is injured. It's not serious enough to put him on the disabled list, but he might not be ready until the end of the upcoming series with Baltimore.
I don't know, Wak, you might want to 60-day him to be sure. Don't want to rush injuries like this. I hurt my in-step once and I know that I was unable to play baseball at a professional level for a long time afterward.

I missed this yesterday, but Tyler Johnson was released. Ryan Divish with the write up:
The Mariners had hoped Johnson could be their lefty specialist in the bullpen, but he never could quite get the command and location needed to be successful.
There goes that.

So we now have three catchers on the 25 man and not one is Clement.

We'll see Clement in September.
Sigh.

So we're trading him to the White Sox?

We've still got Cordero.

If only he could pitch with his left hand.

Woooooo Clement!

The worst thing about Funny Matthew is that now I have to look at the byline to see who is responsible for the article.

Now you're just stretching this bit too far.

Any catchers on the trade market at all?
Fin - June 7, 2009
Jeff Clement?
EnglishMariner - June 7, 2009
He's not a catcher

I would hate to have someone with poor command and location in our bullpen
