Farewell, Brandon Snyder (edit: although he's being "re-evaluated" tomorrow which suggests a phantom 60-day DL trip). That has to be one of the two moves to get McDonald and Berry on the 40-man, the other being recalling Hassan and putting him on the 60-day DL. Which in turn suggests a De La Torre DFA to activate Buchholz. Edit 2: Bard to the 60-day has to be on the table, too; I don't see them DFA'ing him and subjecting him to waivers when they can non-tender him later. Even though any claiming team is likely to non-tender him as well, they become a likelier home when he signs an ml deal subsequently. I don't want to give up on him yet. Middlebrooks can put his virtual second baseman's glove on ice, at least until the post-season, too. Ogando was on my list of guys I think likely to be dropped from BA's prospect depth chart; he just didn't make any progress in his third season stateside.

Can we please stop sending Bard out there for this team? Enough is enough. Cut ties with him and move on. It sucks, but he's lost it. And the benefit to doing that at this point in time is ? If I had a Ferrari with a blown valve, I think I'd wait to see if it could be fixed before I towed it to the junk yard.
