    Why haven't we placed Montero on waivers yet? Come on Brown, do your thing.

    Who would claim him?

    Claiming team assumes the full contract.

    That's the point, there's no risk of doing it just for procedural sakes :rolleyes:

    Wait for him to say we like our roster. Then, surely we are waiving someone.

    Absolutely, if anything just to eat innings and help expand the rotation to 6 man as soon as possible. Blanco is starting to wear out.

    Blanco is starting to get sick of the relievers letting the inherited runners score.

    The solution for that is to recognize when he is going to start leaving runners on base and take him out before it happens. Putting in a long reliever before the trouble starts solves the problem and relieves daily wear and tear on leverage relievers.

    I would not do that for Mathews alone. I would consider Melton and Hicks but would be hesitant to do even that much.

    Paxton for Montero.

    There's that bullpen help they need.
