@Ken_Rosenthal: Rival exec: #Athletics willing to pick up rest of Jim Johnson's salary, offering him around to multiple teams.

Thoughts? Big fall from grace for him...

Wow. That's rough.

[Sanfran327]

Say it costs us next to nothing. Would you want him back? I'm fine with Guilmet, honestly.

We could give them Jemile Weeks, and they could pay JJ's salary.

It's worth considering.

Absolutely. And we should make him a starter. And go with an eight man rotation.

Send him to Houston!

I wouldn't go that far. But if he isn't completely shattered, he might work out in the middle of the BP. Humility isn't always a bad thing.

I believe that boat has sunk.

He should have taken the extension deal we offered.

No thanks. Buck will immediately install him as closer.

Some of these guys just aren't too bright are they.

You might be surprised. You might be surprised why he was traded after Dan said he was a core member moving forward. Maybe not, but I think that Buck is not nearly as inflexible there if not forced to be by a huge closer's contract. And 100 saves trailing.

The Union has great influence on Union Reps. The are the new organizational inefficiency.

Buck has enough respect of everyone in the game to remove JJ from the closer role if he thinks that's the right move.
