Most people won't click on a link with this title: it's self-explanatory and who cares what happens to anyone else's assistant general manager? hell, I wouldn't even click on this link. Hell, the only reason I am writing a TN about it is because I need the 200K. Well, that's not the only reason; another reason is that I really liked the guy, Esteban. [Assistant GM Esteban Costa] But when the team is predicted to lose 17 million smackers, well, an assistant general manager wanting a pay raise of 40%, with the result he would be making more than double my salary, well, I'm sorry, Esteban, but you're not reading the room. So we have put out an offer to another dude, and we'll see if he bites. Even then, he'll be making more than me.
Another reason is that that is about the only "newsworthy" event going on. The team continues to crawl just above or below the .500 mark. Closer Bob Butler (as already mentioned) is back. Team Cap'n Ricardo Magana (.215-13-33) continues to have an off year. His AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS .270 .348 .567 .914 of last season are down to .215 .301 .396 .697.
Steven Clayton (9-4 3.81) has been released from the "follower" role and will now start from the start of games. I guess because he had only one start, he was listed among the relievers in the All-Star Game voting. Otherwise, he has 14 "follows." DM will be starting him in the attempt to have him pitch more innings this season. The contra view is keep him as a follower, since that's how he has been effective. Meantime, José Barrón (7-8 3.62) has been switched from starter to follower. He will do that this afternoon, at Vancouver. Twenty-year-old Víctor Trevino (3.82) is expected to open the game.
