Ya, I figured both. It certainly appears that KW is going for it all this season and if he is, that's most likely going to include Chris in the pen.

 

I think that's completely dependent on Peavy's health and if a starter is traded or not.

Let's do this same thing with Teahen.

Teahen is overpaid for his job...but being able to be a backup IF and backup OF in a pinch is really useful for that 4th guy off the bench. It makes no sense to dump Teahen if we have to send salary along with him.

I would normally jump on, but I'm going to wait and see if Kenny can trade Teahen straight-up for Bell and sign Putz for about $600K before I look at DJ.

I assume you mean Viciedo. Teahen for Bell has about as real a chance as me making my major league debut this year.

In the current situation, Teahen could be pretty valuable. Its nice having a guy like him who you can go to in a pinch at multiple positions. I wish he didn't make quite as much as he did, but there is some value in that flexibility. Plus if Morel struggles at third you at least have another option instead of just using Omar Vizquel full time (or Viciedo), not that I want Teahen to be a regular at 3B.

By the way...everyone is writing down that they're not allowed to complain when Linebrink has a legitimate solid season in the NL, right?

I think he will be solid. I don't think he's worth what the Sox were paying him and he didn't really fit our roll since we need more regularly consistent set-up guys. Since as of now we essentially have Santos and Thorty (thorty is a rock if healthy, but Santos is still very raw). I might be missing someone, but Sale is our 5th starter currently.
