Mike Trout recalled, Abreu is released

Harper and Trout are going to be compared to each other for the next 10-15 years, so they might as well get promoted on the same day.

Abreu probably deserved better, but he'll have no trouble catching on somewhere.

Yes, and depending on where, he might have some value. No power or speed left, but he can still draw walks and get some hits.

Can the Rays get out of the Matsui thing and upgrade to Abreu? Seems like a perfect fit for them.

In what role? Matsui is on a minor league deal that hasn't even been signed yet. Abreu could go into Allen's spot but Allen can play the field and Abreu cannot and he's not an ideal guy to have along with Luke Scott who still can't play the field either.

If he wasn't happy with reduced playing time in LAA, I don't see him getting much more in TB

Cleveland could use a third DH to go with Hafner and Damon

I would think that Baltimore or Oakland might be interested in Abreu

Following up on that, what do you see happening with Godzilla and Tampa? Anything to pay attention to?

[Long John]

Nothing to see there, Lucky. Feel free to ignore. (This way I can scoop him up for $1 in FAAB and reap the lush rewards!)

Peer pressure from Mith?

Usually, by the time these re-treds realize nobody believes in their declining skills, they'll take ANY job...unless your name is jermaine dye, that is.

Mike Trout is in the Angels lineup today, in LF batting leadoff. Vernon Wells on the bench, Mark Trumbo at 3B.

He's getting paid whether he plays daily, sits daily, or stays at home. There's no motivation here for him

Darn it. I just picked up Damon.
