Is Chen injured?

[ADZ23]

He needs his eyes checked

[Jagwar]

Our depth is getting shallower by the day.

Wada has some amazing talent, it appears he was a superstar in Japan: http://www.japaneseballplayers.com/en/player.php?id=twada

Here are Chen's #s to compare, fairly similar: http://www.rotowire.com/baseball/player.htm?id=11194

Let's hope Wada makes the adjustment to the bigs

Why hurt the bullpen and the rotation? Not a good idea. Maybe on McFarland.

Exactly. T.J. will be the only candidate from that group. Not only are Matusz and Hunter very valuable out of the pen, but the pen suits both of them better. They both struggle after 5 innings and get worse the second and third time through the lineup. Both can throw harder out of the pen.

I suspect Jurrjens will get the first shot. I don't think he will succeed. After that, I want to see Gausman up.

He says he's not in any pain and hopes it's a cramp - per Britt

[WEAVERMAN]

How do those stinkin' Yankees do it? Girardi is a shoe in for early manager of the year....

It's long season, don't give that bum any compliments just yet.

That would be a tremendous break for us.

Joel Pinero was signed last year, not this year.

But they made the playoffs with the likes of Steve Pearce playing games for them last season

Guess the world isn't ending after all.

Looks like the two-off-day week couldn't have come at a better time. Maybe Chen doesn't even need to go on the DL.

If he does...Arietta has outpitched Jurrjens at AAA, hasn't he? Tillman appeared to be dead as a prospect around this time last year, but he came back midseason and has since established himself as a solid starter. Maybe Arietta can be this year's Tillman.

[O's84]

Bundy even thought he is injured and not an option. Just naming our guys lol.

Yeah I purposely didn't mention him because of the injury (which sucks!). It'll

probably be Mcfarland or Jurrjens. Gausman needs some more time down there.

7-1 record in 1 run games doesn't hurt.

Oh and then there's that pact signed with the devil for their souls.
