Laffey stays, Tyner goes

I know this was brought up in the game log, but just in case people missed it, Castrovince reports that Tyner was DFA'd and Laffey will stay "for another week." Also speculation about Masa becoming the closer.

Jason, we hardly knew thee …

Am not surprised at all by this, they need that roster spot for a reliever next week anyways if JoeBlow is ready to be activated.

Tyner Rips Twins for Letting Him Go (Minneapolis Star-Tribune, May 14)

Former Twins outfielder Jason Tyner told an Ohio newspaper that he was surprised the Twins let him go—and he’s looking forward to facing them when his new team, Cleveland, plays the Twins next month.

I actually kinda feel bad for the guy, but I’m an old softie like that.

i just looked at Tyner’s b-ref page. his numbers are really bad. but i am glad i made it to the end of the page, bc the names of some of the similar players are hysterical. it’s almost like you can tell what Tyner’s skill set is based on the names of similar players

I just went to see for myself, and that was a much-needed laugh there.

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT MY HIGH SCHOOL NICKNAME

Good God who are those people? Tyner should close his mouth and thank the baseball gods for the chance he got. Now go sell insurance or something Jason, the dream is over.

It's the Arizona talking, really.

I don’t think we should be playing with fire here. Tyner will be on a mission when his next ballclub comes to town and faces us

The post above needs to turn green.

I feel led astray by Shap on the radio interview with Hammy pre-game yesterday. Don’t mistake this comment for wishing that Laffey had been sent down, nothing could be further from the truth.

Are you referring to Shap or Wedge? I couldn’t find Shap on the replay. I listened to Wedge’s comments, which were vague but indicated he would be very happy to keep Laffey.

I thought it was Shapiro that Hammy was interviewing. I was, admittedly, having problem with my XM reception in my office, perhaps it was Wedge. I was piecing together a conversation, so I may have filled in some blanks erroneously. MadLibs…
