Yet here McGee is with only a few innings in AAA, which were his first innings as a reliever. And now he's in the bigs. Think that he would have been better served here with the Bulls. And I think that's still going to happen. Have to think that Delaney, Wade, or Bootcheck are waiting to go back. Only Delaney on the 40-man though. And someone has to go when Howell comes off the DL. Maybe McGee.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-12658750202179703852011-04-16T12:08:14.833-04:002011-04-16T12:08:14.833-04:00Although they have generally done well this year, ...Although they have generally done well this year, I think the overall feeling is that the Rays need anyone they can get in their bullpen. That said, McGee seems to be the only one off to a really bad start up there.DRRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-60882485220048521482011-04-16T11:33:57.106-04:002011-04-16T11:33:57.106-04:00That's what Sobsey over at Indy Week seems to ...That's what Sobsey over at Indy Week seems to think. I'm about to do a rant one of these days about how the Rays have mistreated Jake McGee. So swapping out Swindle might make sense. Haven't followed the Rays closely enough to see if they really need him.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-50507695380629025752011-04-16T11:23:38.494-04:002011-04-16T11:23:38.494-04:00I wonder if the Swindle thing is because Tampa is ...I wonder if the Swindle thing is because Tampa is looking for a lefty specialist.Chris Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-8671889193123420492011-04-16T09:51:37.538-04:002011-04-16T09:51:37.538-04:00The Chirinos situation is interesting.

We are getting to the point where we have to say that this slump is more than just due to the ups and downs of baseball. I wonder if all of the talk in the spring about him making the Rays got in his head a little. It will be nice when he gets things going.DRRnoreply@blogger.com
