Sun: O's swap Wolf for Fox

[Moose Milligan]

We got Jake Fox for minor leaguer Ross Wolf. He'll be activated tonite. Tillman sent down.

I guess they want his bat to get right at AAA... Norfolk, though, is not the right place IMO.

Bring him up now and jettison Atkins.

Fox for Britton?

It may make sense to have him get his stroke back an Norfolk playing regularly for a week or two, then do what you say.

Although...I'd have no problem with your suggestion!

[Moose Milligan]

Hope this spells the end for Atkins.

Anything else would be...inconceivable!

Now, claim Encarnacion!!!!

[Mackus]

Activated tonight meaning MLB or AAA?

Now, claim Encarnacion!!!!

I picture you with a towel wrapped around your head in front of a crystal ball sending brainwaves to MacPhail.

Fox for Britton?

Don't cussin' joke about cuss like that.

BTW, if they send down Moore and keep Atkins I am going to blow a gasket.

After re-reading Moose's post, I think we can't send Fox to Norfolk without putting him through waivers.

I am truly hopeful that this is the end of the Garrett Atkins experiment.

I'd honestly rather release Montanez and keep Atkins. Yes, you read that right. Don't get me wrong, Atkins needed to go two months ago, but Montanez needed to go before him. He rots on the bench worse than Pie did last year, and he adds nothing to the team. How he's still taking up space is beyond me.

This...and release Montanez.

Dunno, that was all the details I had.

Yes, this better be the end of Atkins.

Has to be MLB. If we traded for him then he never went through waivers.
