Shelton, Olson ----> Tacoma, Messenger Shot

 

Link

Looks like the rumors were true, the team picked Sweeney for his potential clubhouse contributions and a source informs me that he also made them a hot batch of cookies and ran into a burning building to save their puppy, then tried give all the credit to the fire department.

Sucks for Shelton after the monster spring he's put up but at least he'll be available in Tacoma and it's likely we'll be seeing him sometime this season.

Randy Messenger was also optioned to AAA, so any fears that he might somehow sneak his way onto the roster can be put to rest.

The Twins took Jose Lugo back as well, so he's gone.

Other Moves:  Garrett Olson was also sent to Tacoma, Mike Morse was outrighted but cleared waivers and was resigned, and Cesar Jimenez was placed on the 15 day DL.

Wow

I know Morse is not the greatest defensive player in the world but I can’t believe he cleared waivers. I thought for sure he was gone. Good news Shelton is staying around too.

I am no longer an advocate of elaborate techniques of security analysis in order to find superior value opportunities.

Everyone wants a guy that plays horrible defense, can't hit for power and doesn't run well.

That gif is simultaneously hilarious and incredibly depressing

I’m torn whenever I see that with regards to which emotion to favor

I didn't see anyone scooping Vidro up when we released him,

but your point is well taken.

Dammit.

Why couldn’t someone claim him so we don’t have to listen to people wanting him to be an everyday player anymore? Morse is like the new Bloomquist.

Morse is way worse than Willie

at least Willie could play a little defense

Beat me to it

I thought for sure there was a team crazy enough to take Morse. I would be suprised though if Morse sticks around for long.

'Mike Morse was outrighted but cleared waivers and was resigned'

I hate it when they get resigned. You’re a professional! Have a better attitude.

*Twins.

That kinda sucks that we lose him. He was interesting.

Yeah the Twins wanted him =\

Sad, I wish we could hung onto him.

Meh.

Or maybe we didn’t have any more a-level catchers they were interested in…

Zduriencik on the radio talking to Dave just said he's either cleared waivers and the M's have 72 hrs to negotiate a trade to keep him.

Or he’s still in the process of clearing waivers, it wasn’t quite clear exactly where he’s at in the process things.

Righty pinch hitter in an NL park is about it

But enough of those guys can also play defense to not justify carrying Morse.

He must really wish he were left handed

Maybe he could go from school to school

and talk of the dangers of steroids and how to make everyone forget you took them
