It's not the greatest source, but I'd believe it at this point. The article says that the team is likely to call up Bryan LaHair to take his spot from AAA Tacoma. LaHair is hitting .260 with 11 HR and 41 RBI, with an .828 OPS. I am not high on LaHair particularly, but anything is progress right now. Mac also mentions in the article that Clement will catch a "majority" of the games after being called up. Let the Kansas City Shuffle begin.

Well
That’d be nice. Barn doors and horses come to mind…... And I’m not real high on Brian LaHair. But if he managed a .700OPS, he’d be our best hitter.
There's no way in hell he manages .750
.700 is pushing it already.
He wouldn't be able to do that

As bad as richie's been
I hope the team is making several more moves, and not just scapegoating him as the only player problem on this team…

Is there any chance
If we hang onto him for the rest of the season that we’d get a compensatory draft pick?
If there is, I say keep him
Lahair isn’t the solution… not long term anyways

That being said,
keeping Sexson around all season is likely to help us lose, which increases our draft pick, so…
Does Richie have more or less trade value than that guy who was traded for ten bats?
What if you don’t factor in his contract?

Maybe
But it would be so awesome if it did happen.
I don't really understand why Joh would be a good 1B
He can’t hit. He hasn’t played 1B. Am I missing something?

He wouldn't be
That’s why it would be so funny and beneficial in our quest for Strasburg. I’ve never seen him play 1B but I’m willing to bet he’s going to be substantially worse than even Sexson was if Mac was serious when he talked about doing this.
Arbitration would have to be offered to get the pick.
That’s why we didn’t get one for Guillen. Sexson probably wouldn’t qualify as a Type A or B free agent either.
And with his ~$15 million salary...
...he can only be offered a small pay cut in arbitration.

That rule doesn't apply to FA players
Only to pre FA players.
ZIPS: Milledge: 466 HR, 485 2B, 2282 hits, 278-379-524
So my reading comprehension sucks
what else is new?

Why choose?
Dump them both and call up Wlad.

So it sounds like....
The plan is to send Sexson packing, move Kenji to 1B and have Clement as the regular Catcher, or swap the two of them around between those two positions.
Richie was BAD at defense….but this could be a whole new level of bad.
BIG RICHIE
He’s been inconsistent since he got hired
Now he doesn’t do shit, he’s about to get fired
Richie: I’m not gonna stand here in the clubhouse and let you treat me like a 5 year old
McLaren: Too bad you play like one.

I'm gonna miss these.

He hasn’t been good in quite awhile

I fail to understand why everyone is so eager for that logo to be DFAed.

I only want it DFAd
When the Brett/Robert drunken LL logo gets called up from Triple-A Okanagan.
