Rowland-Smith Activated, Corcoran DFA'd

And that ends all that endless discussion we were having about who would go away to make room for Ryan Rowland-Smith.

The bullpen is going to be a bit thin this weekend and, as mentioned in the series preview thread, we are not exactly running out some work horses to start. Could get nervy.

Let Griffey pitch.
Happy trails, Corco

I’m glad someone had fun in 2008.

I will not miss Roy. He is exactly who I wanted DFA'd here.
What do you have against mud?
Got in my eye once. It hurt. Think I scratched a cornea or some other word ending in a.
It's about time Corco went away

Though I will miss his interviews

All you need is for Bedard to speak with the most awesome canadian accent and that might make up for Corcoran.

Though hearing him talk would be something.

Bedard doesn't have a Canadian accent, so his interviews aren't fantastically exotic.
Yah, it is usually just the odd word or two.

of course, he could do them in French….

So they swapped a crawdad accent for a vegemite one?
I hear Ichiro has a good curve
Whenever I've seen it it's been

just a bit outside.

I wonder if anyone's going to notice that Corco's gone

As far as the thin pen is concerned, isn’t Olson moving into the pen, giving them a long relief arm? Vargas can come up form Tacoma as well probably, and since Wak’s starting Hannahan against lefties now I guess Woodward can disappear to make room for him.

Woodward's the utility guy now that :(edeno is the regular shortstop.

So if Lopez/Ronny/Hannahan get hurt, we’re boned.

Oh right

I forgot Wilson is in Tacoma. Well, it’s going to be Sweeney, Shelton or a short pitching staff, no way around it.

Ichiro has said he would like to pitch sometime.

Maybe he will get his chance!!!

More seriously, though, for years teams operated with ten person pitching staffs. For the most part it means that the manager may be limited in bringing in a guy to face just one batter. And the starter for whom it’s the throw day can hold off throwing until after the game so that he can be available to pitch an inning.

There’s nearly a century of baseball tradition to fall back on here.

We will miss your closer's mentality.

We will not miss your pitching ability.

Jack Z planned this very well.

Against all odds, DFAing Corco might have actually resulted in a net increase in overall team accent awesomeness.

If the Ms need to burn the bullpen in a series against the Indians, they have much larger problems

DFAing Corcoran doesn’t hurt at all.

The Indians are a good offensive team
But it seems like they should suck.

Is that not enough? Oh wait…it’s not? Okay.

That was some triceps tendinitis
It's good

to have Ryan Rowland (Hyphen) Smith back from the land down under (Tacoma)

I didn't show tonight's game

but say yay RRS!
