    Default Three moves that Must be Made

    1. Cut Eric Byrnes, call up Ryan Langerhans
    -Langerhans would give us a solid LH bat to use off the bench not to mention he doesn't look like a complete idiot up there like Eric Byrnes has. I love Byrnes hustle, but he needs to go.

    2. Cut Mike Sweeney, Trade for or sign another DH, or move Milton to DH and get another LF (Dye, DeJesus, Scott, etc.).
    - Anybody that can hit the ball in the air with the bases loaded in a game-winning situation and knock hack at the first pitch that is low and away and ground into a douple play

    3. Send Tui down, call up Josh Wilson or Jack Hannahan
    -The backup utility player just needs to field every position, anything we get at the plate is just extra gravy. Josh Wilson and Hannahan are very good fielders and need to take Tui's place. Not to mention that Tui has looked overmatched at the plate every time he gets a chance.


    These three moves are completely obvious and every baseball fan knows it. I would throw cut Griffey in there as well, but I just don't see the M's doing that so hopefully they can at least move him to bench warming duty. If these moves are made we become a playoff team. If not, we'll stay around the .500 mark.

    Pretty much all of those are needed. number 3 is my least priority. I do think Tui is going to come through at some point, his bat has shown during spring training that it exists... he just cannot translate that to the regular season for some reason.

    Eric Byrnes is a joke. He needs to go. Mike Sweeney needs to go too. I really hate saying that!!

    Byrnes seems to play with his heart on his sleeve and tries to bust his proverbial when he plays. Must admit I like to see player lookinh pi@@ed when they get out. doesn't seem to happen enough for me.

    By why do we have some many hitters who cant hit HR's

    How long do you think it will take for these moves to be made? I mean with the offense sputtering the way it is, they can't wait but so long.

    I really think we are a bat or two away from being a playoff team, especially in this weak division.

    Another game, and another reassurance that the moves need to made. GET IT DONE WAK AND Z.

    2 bats away from playoffs. Our pitching is that good...
