Per Divish, Michael Saunders is on his way up
I suppose he'll kind of take Bradley's place, but we don't have anyone to take Wilson's place while he's out for a couple days. No idea what Wak intends to do if Josh Wilson takes, say, a spike in the ankle, or an errant dart to the neck while Sean White is pitching.

That's what I was thinking... Maybe this is a precursor to a trade of some sort that is about to be finished up?
Otherwise, why not call up Hannahan?

Nope, not until Monday..
We’re boned.

Hannahan still hasn't played anything other than third.

Then why call him up over Hannahan?

We're running 4 INFers right now with Wilson on the shelf

Chone to SS, Lopez to 2nd.....
Kotchman to 3rd and Sweeney to 1st?? Just taking a shot here….
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Moore to left, Langerhans to third?
Or we could go the Bob Brenley approach and move one of the catchers to third (presumably Moore since Johnson has a broken hand.)
by seattlesundevil on May 6, 2010 4:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Wait, Johnson has a broken hand?
And has Moore played OF before, or Langerhans 3rd?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Sarcasm / Wishful thinking....
He has a beaten up hand, let’s put it that way..

I thought maybe you knew something I didn't.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Don't be so sure,
I had a lot of tequila last night, so I don’t know much today.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Left handed Langerhans to 3B
May not be the worst idea of all time, but it’s pretty close.
Wait, I think I may have just said something exactly like this, deja vu I guess!
Have to turn to make the throw.
When’s the last time some one actually tried this?
Not impossible though.
And we’re talking about 8 2/3rds innings at the most. After that they could make a roster move.
Or, if you’re a three-bagger, be sure to bring your spikes and a glove to the game.

The first rule of Lookout Landing is...
Compared to Jack Wilson, that is.
And actually that would put us at a roughly average infield (a little worse)…
Left handed Kotchman at 3B
May not be the worst idea of all time, but it’s pretty close!
I'm thinking it's better than Sweeney at 3rd.
I suppose sundevil had it right, throw one of the catchers out there and pray nothing happens.

I think our best bet right now is summed up by the last 3 words of your post...
“Pray nothing happens.”

You mean it's not a bad dream?
I’m trapped in this nightmare. …can you cry in dreams? Because I think I’m gonna go do that.
I think this is a good time to call up Saunders if he gets a chance to play.
He’s put together 5 straight quality games maybe he’s feeling good and seeing the ball well right now and we could use that.

You're quite the optimist.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
He'll have the opportunity to play his way into playing time.
I am definitely trying to be optimistic.

Update from Twitter...
Bradley to the restricted list, Saunders in his spot
Looks like the lineup card is wrong.
Restricted List
Players who fail to report to the team or who fail to sign an agreed-upon contract with the team. Players on this list do not count towards the Reserved List (40 man) or Active List (25 man) limits. Players on the restricted list do not receive pay, and may not sign with another team. A player may remain on this list for two consecutive years before he is removed – either activated or released. Often, placing a player on the Restricted List is akin to releasing him without fully relinquishing his rights. However, sometimes younger international signees can be placed on the Restricted List while they are finishing school.
That sounds odd.
So he’s essentially suspended without pay….
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Yeah that surprised me too
Its like a DL for not injured players, but they don’t get paid.
I think we put Ugueto on the restricted list in 2004
If I recall that’s why he never got a September callup that year
He never played another major league game :(

New post up about Bradley to the RL.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
According to Divish,
Ja. Wilson is available in an emergency. So there’s that.

The first rule of Lookout Landing is...
What is Saunder's long term bat supposed to look like. Is Guti a good comparison? Or is he expected to hit for more power.
And when I say expected, I mean reasonably hoped.
CHONE had him projected (this year) at .251/.318/.389 for a .311 wOBA.
Marcel and ZiPS were right in line with this projection, average in the .250-.260 range and a wOBA of .313 and .312 respectively. Bill James, on the other hand, LOVED Saunders: .266/.324/.418 for .325 wOBA.
Saunders offers speed and some gap power. They were working on his swing in spring training to generate some more pop, and if that takes, we’re looking at David DeJesus. Right now, he’s about Randy Winn.
