Mystery!

Have I linked Mike Curto before? I'm gonna link Mike Curto.

The Rainiers have taken Matt Tuiasosopo off the roster, and I have heard that he is not currently in Nashville. A rather grumpy Daren Brown didn’t want to talk about it, just saying "he’s not here."

In fairness, Daren Brown often seems grumpy.

This is an interesting situation, though, mainly because we have no idea what's going on. I'd say the most likely scenario is that Jack Wilson's headed to the DL. He hasn't played since May 5th and just yesterday LaRue said his hamstring remains a little "problematic," and a DL stint retroactive to May 6th would give Wilson more time to heal up and set him to return on the 21st. With Josh Wilson looking good, the team probably feels comfortable taking things easy with Jack.

But who's interested in what's most likely? Maybe there's a trade in the works. Maybe Tui fell asleep in the clubhouse and the organization cut him to send a message. Maybe something else. We'll find out more as the day goes on. And until we do, speculate!

Trade?

Purge of Bavasi prospects continues?

Package?

Trade!

In their continuing effort to become the 2007 Mariners, the Royals get Tui and Lopez. In return the Mariners get to continue their effort to lose as many games as possible 1-0 by acquiring Zach Grienke

Fuck Jack Wilson

Constantly mildly injured players are so frustrating. Especially when they’re good players.

The grumpiness

Makes me think it was something Tui did to screw up.

I haven’t been following the Raniers, has Tui been mashing? If so, then maybe I’d be more inclined to think it was a trade.

Tui's hit .321 in limited play

Grumpiness is probably that Tui was taken off with late notice, forcing Brown to scramble for a new lineup.

by Jeff Sullivan on May 12, 2010 9:45 AM PDT up reply actions  

He's been doing pretty well since getting sent down.

Taking lots of pitches, hitting pretty well. Not a lot of power, though.

by marc w on May 12, 2010 9:45 AM PDT up reply actions  

Seems different in that he was taken off the roster instead of just an announcement of the callup

Or it could just be the twitterblogosphere making it look that way.

Or someone went back in time and the fabric of the universe is unraveling.

by lemonverbena on May 12, 2010 9:48 AM PDT up reply actions  

I imagine these things don't all happen at once

Tui getting taken off the roster might just be the first domino in a series of moves driven by paperwork.

by Jeff Sullivan on May 12, 2010 9:52 AM PDT up reply actions  

I don't really understand this

Tui’s defense needs polish, AAA seems the place to get the time so he’s not painful to watch out there. At the same time he wasn’t exactly lighting up major league pitchers in his limited time with the big club. Is Hammerhands so fallen from favor or injury prone that they feel compelled to give the Tui experiment another go?

It just seems like the kid needs to be given a mandate about proving his defense and the chance to do it without constantly having to hop on I5 every time Wilson forgets to stretch before a game.

They've traded Tui to RadioShack for me in return

This way Tui can hawk cellphones and I can hit linedrives at Jeff’s head whenever he’s in attendance

Hank Blalock has an out clause in his contract and can leave anytime.

I can't resist clicking "Rec" when I see a post with four recs already.

by thehemogoblin on May 12, 2010 10:44 AM PDT up reply actions  

I wish they would just make the announcment that Jack Wilson is going on the DL

The longer they wait the more disappointed i will be when it turns out to not be a trade.

by wetzelcoal on May 12, 2010 10:19 AM PDT reply actions  

Yes indeed.

I completely agree with this sentiment.

by MissoulaMarinerFan on May 12, 2010 10:28 AM PDT up reply actions  

David Ortiz.

More DH types who can’t hit!

If I was your math homework I'd be really hard and you'd be doing me on your desk.

TLD wants a return on 2 years of frustration.

Idea! Boston and Seattle trade all their aging, underperforming players to Houston and KC for Oswalt and Grienke, then play Russian roulette for Zack.

According to my Yahoo fantasy notes...

Josh Willingham was pulled out of the lineup despite a history of success against Pelfrey. Regular rest day I think not!

by MarinerManMatt on May 12, 2010 10:50 AM PDT reply actions  

Langy? Really?

Langerhans just too taxing to spell out?

He’s my second favorite body part related Mariner!

by Drew_D on May 12, 2010 11:19 AM PDT up reply actions  

Well that's interesting...

But it seems like we have enough OF/DH types on the roster…

by seattlesundevil on May 12, 2010 10:56 AM PDT up reply actions  

Willingham is a way better hitter than any of them.

Though this probably means absolutely nothing because the Nats aren’t unlikely to unload him after his ridiculous start this year (and really good year last season), sure as hell not for Tui.

by OlSalty on May 12, 2010 10:58 AM PDT up reply actions  

Not that it's happening, but Willingham's wOBA over the last three years:

.365/.363/.373, and he’s at .398 so far this year. And he’s not too much worse than Bradley in the OF. He’d be a pretty huge upgrade.

But it’s not happening, so eh.

by Aaron Campeau on May 12, 2010 10:59 AM PDT up reply actions  

DONE!

Divish tweets Wilson to the DL.

Reality is as exciting as you want it to be!

It turns out I’m really a level 82 Mountain Wizard! Golly gosh!
