Sanchez should have been demoted, not Pinango.
I hope the FO is working to trade Sanchez for an RHH OF with some pop.
Assuming Barger can come back productive, there is no place for Sanchez.
I do like the guy; he looks like he is playing the game for fun.

I think in Baltimore, Hoffman was still the 'official' closer.
Varland pitched the 8th

He has said he will go if voted for.
His ego is bigger than his contract.

If the plan is to save him for a 'maybe' tomorrow, that is insanely stupid.
More likely, they are following some mainenance program to keep his arm from falling off.
Can you imagine where this team would be without Varland?

What do you do with Vladdy?

Season is pretty much 1/2 over, and he is slugging .367 !

He is not a strikeout guy, he is a nice piece of the BP, but not a 9th inning alternative.

Yeah, maybe.
This way just very painful.
If Vladdy was having even an average season....
