should be noted byrd's 48 hrs passed as well so he's here for the season.

Whooooo I'm here

Did you make it to the game or is this Drunk Beez?

I wish I was Drunk Beez.

I'm sad. I actually play the bongo part and they never show me on the bongo cam. People just slapping out anything that wouldn't even make sense in the context of the song.

Do we know which team claimed Byrd?

no idea what this means.

Peter Gammons ‏@pgammo 45s

Phillies have Charlie Kerfeld bearing down on Xander Bogaerts. Don't think he'd be traded, but...

Gammons is on his own planet

If the Cubs won't give up a SS in a Hamels deal, maybe the Red Sox will.

Are we actively trying to get a SS or is that just what happens to be available on the teams who have interest? I know Crawford hasn't proven anything yet, but I'd rather them target other positions.

Here's how it goes down.

Somehow there's a deal where the Phillies get a top SS prospect. Rube moves him to LF and refuses to give him playing time in the Majors. Crawford is counted on to become the next Rollins and ends up a bust. The top prospect is now so screwed up from switching positions and being kept in the Minors that he becomes a bust. Now we have no SS or LF.

More likely one of them can switch to second and they can both be successful.

Boegarts can play 3rd.

Claimed Jerome Williams off waivers and DFA o'sullivan.

It's too bad revere us such a liability defensively because offensively you could probably live with him.

We have no better options than Williams?

Williams made two starts for the Rangers and allowed 11 runs in 10 innings (a 9.90 ERA). Texas terminated Williams after Cleveland rocked him for 10 runs on 13 hits in four innings on Aug. 1. He started 2014 as a reliever for Houston, and that stint yielded a 6.04 ERA in 26 games.
