    So, uh, who else is excited to see Morales "play" 1B on the regular?

        Very relieved for Teoscar/McKinney PT crunch clearing up, and one less vet to clear the way for kids later this year. Also allows some room for B. Drury to slide into 3B/2B/DH rotation, if he hits. He's might fill the lead off or 2nd hole in the order, with Vlad and Grichuk knocking him in, could be worse. I love how my $2 Drury is shaping up so far.

            does that mean Rowdy Tellez is going to play?
            In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

              Dunno. In the near term they are promoting Alford.

                I think they're gonna give Alford every chance to succeed or fail. I suspect the Teoscar/McKinney platoon moves from LF to DH, and Alford is given LF and the #9 spot in the order.

                I don't think we'll see Tellez as long as Smoak is on the roster.
                It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                  This too, since I have both Teo and McKinney.

                    I may be very wrong on this - apparently Tellez has been seen this morning in Toronto

                    edit: weird - Tellez is listed on the 25 man roster this am, Alford is not ... tho Alford is in Toronto ... more to come ...

                    edit2: official word is that Tellez will take Morales spot on the roster, not Alford

                            well, this one for sure.

                            Apparently the decision to call up Tellez instead of Alford was made based on who they thought needed more regular ABs (they wanted Alford getting regular ABs in Buffalo) - which tells me that Tellez isn't going to be pegged into the DH slot on a daily basis. But again ... this is just me editorializing & my track record in this thread is pretty poor ...

                            Another by-product of the Morales trade will be a slot to put Vlad periodically when he's recalled - or maybe regularly

                              He'll be in mid-season form by 5pm today once the majority of games are in progress.
