I really don’t want to spend much time on Endy Chavez. Which means basically two things. 1) I don’t think to much of the guy. 2) The Mariners outfield situation is bad. Really bad. Boy, wouldn’t it be nice if they still had a fourth outfielder that could play center and have some pop? Granted, they could have claimed Casper Wells, after the either previous DFA’s this past week, but pride goeth before a fall, or so they say. Well, now that I’m thinking about it, if I’m going to talk about Shelley Duncan and Don Kelly in previous iterations of this series, might as well make Chavez feel right at home. Hitting 269/308/367 for his career, that’s basically who he is. But he’s getting at-bats, so he’s filler if you need it. And if you need filler like that, bless your heart.

From human trafficker to Rangers fifth starter, Alexi Ogando throws gas.  (Maybe that’s how he got caught trafficking humans.  He was mule-ing a human in his colon and accidentally threw gas.  Not sure.)  I say, mootie lootie doo to all of that, which means nothing, though it might in another language.  Once an outfielder, but […]
