Hmmmm.

Is it possible that Hart was DFA'd today as the result of the Morales trade, but since Morales won't be here until tomorrow ... the Mariners called up Taylor for a single day?

(Rather than Montero, who has the plague)

I dunno, do you think its possible Taylor gets the call in Miller's spot and the other person fills in for a day at DH?

Really tough to tell, but I don't think they've brought someone up for Taijuan Walker's spot yet either

You're right. I forgot the Mariners are only carrying 4 SP's for the next two weeks. That leaves four bench position players ... Sucre / Romero / Bloomquist / Taylor.

There still is a chance that Hart stays on the roster and Romero gets sent down tomorrow. A terrible, terrible chance.

They aren't going to place someone on the 40 and call them up for only a day.

He's going on the 40 man regardless because a spot opened ... that doesn't mean he sticks with Seattle longer than today. Just like any other player on the 40 man roster, he may just be used for a day until the spot on the 25 man is filled by Morales.

Hart / Romero / Miller / Taylor. One of those four is not on this team tomorrow.

trixstar · 07-24-2014, 02:53 PM

Gotta be Hart.

Yea, I'm a dope. W/ the Chris Taylor call-up; it's all but certain Corey Hart will be DFA'ed. Mariners need to make room for him on the 40 man, and only Morrison or Hart can make that happen.

Morales and Taylor on ... Pryor and X off.

A spot opening up on the 40 does not mean you need to fill it. I don't care how it works out but a team will not put someone on the 40 and call them up for just a day. Insane thinking.

Happens all of the time guy. It's not as if they would demote Taylor and then never use him ... he's likely coming up very soon again regardless because Brad Miller's time is about done. He was the next in line to be added to the 40-man, so whether he's up a day, a week or the rest of the year ... why does it matter?

They have an extra spot on the roster for tonight's game against Baltimore and they need it filled. Taylor is as good an option to call up as Montero, Franklin or anyone else.

It does not happen all the time. I can't even think of it ever happening outside of an insane situation involving not having enough healthy bodies on the 40.

Taylor is not as good of an option as Franklin for a 1 day callup considering he wasn't on the 40. Teams don't put guys on the 40 early unless it is a necessity.

If he was placed on the 40, he is staying for longer than a day. Such a silly discussion.

Wasn't a discussion until you responded.

Taylor and Morales are going on the 40 man roster following the trade of Pryor and the release of Hart or Morrison. What difference does it make which player is called up?

With Miller struggling and Bloomquist banged up from yesterday, Taylor was likely to be added to the 40 man today anyway, and this trade simply makes room for him without having to outright release anyone. You make it sound like I'm suggesting Seattle rushed Taylor onto the roster just to use him for one day and that's simply not true.

wait til he hits a bomb tonight ....

I responded because the idea that Seattle would put someone on the 40, and only keep them on the active roster for a day is silly.

Putting a guy on the 40 and keeping him on the active roster for a day is absurd in almost any situation. If they were only going to call someone up for a day, it would have been Franklin. Putting Taylor on the 40 so early would eliminate Seattle's flexibility going forward only to have a guy on the active roster for a day. Players get injured in baseball quite a bit. So many variables can impact the situation of a team. Teams like the flexibility 1-2 open or less valued 40 man spots provide. They don't give it up in order to call someone up for a day.

Not to mention the slight financial costs along with service time issues. All would be forgone just so that they could call someone up for a day? Insane.

__________________________________________________________

I've seen you comment on the reason behind the trade and while you are in the right direction, you are also misinformed. Seattle had an open spot on the 40 man roster going into today. Taylor could have been put on the 40 and called up before this trade Problem is that Paxton will be back soon to take a spot on the 40. This trade allows them to upgrade their DH, while also opening a spot for flexibility. At the end of the day, they will likely have swapped Pryor and Hart for Kendry.

How did ur theory work out?!?

trixstar · 07-24-2014, 08:06 PM

I'm glad he is too. Anyone that can help I'm all for. I made the assumption he might be a trade piece and they wouldn't risk him losing his value if he bombs.

Understandable but he gives them the best glove and bat at ss position right now. Trade Franklin before he don't have anymore value, not a guy who has stud potential!

Potential gets GM's fired
