As we all know, our beloved Scotty Kaz (Kid K) is coming off the DL circa Sunday, and we have 6 pegs for 5 holes after that…
I, of course have an idea, and of course will probably get panned for my idea, but isn’t that the american way =)
We are all in agreement mostly that everyone has carried thier own weight in the bullpen and in the rotation. No one deserves to be relieved of thier duties as of yet. So, what’s a team to do??? We know that the Rays aren’t going to risk shipping the pitchers without options to the minors, seeings how they are all pretty valuable right now, someone would claim them. That eliminates Jack and Hammel, Dohmann, Glover, others…
That leaves Shields (Ya right…) Sonnanstine, and Garza. Sonny has gotten rocked once, and then there was that masterful 4 hit (or was it 3) shutout he had 2 weekends ago against Chicago… Garza has walked in a run with the bases loaded in 2 games has pitched to a tune of 7+ era… I think you know where I am going with this… I know he was the crown jewel of the offseason, but has not pitched well, and is coming off injury. Why not let him work things out a few weeks in the minors, until he is desperately needed again in TB??? Can we really say anoyone else other than Garza has not pitched well, or even great at times so far??? I think Garza temporarily is the answer…

Yeah but it is not going to happen.

Is it possible to get Gregor Blanco from Atlanta for Edwin Jackson or Jason Hammel plus Gabe Gross? And if not for a package of those two, for Hammel/Jackson and Houser?
Blanco would be a great fit for our Outfield and another option next to Aki for the leadoff hitting role?
What do you say? I would love that (maybe Hammel + Gross)
… and by the way: Atlanta needs a starter in order to the demotion of John Schmoltz to the closer-role!
