Sad news today, as Charlie Furbush is shut down for a while. His recovery isn’t going as quickly as the Mariners would like, and what would normally be regular soreness from getting back into things is turning into more of a big deal for Furbush. Mike Montgomery may be moved to the bullpen to help, but it feels like we are losing the last vestiges of the bullpen we knew last year (and I am doleful about that for personality, not utilitarian reasons). I hope Furbush starts feeling better soon. I’d hate to lose him. Gone also now are the first round of cuts: Guillermo Heredia, Paul Fry, Marcus Littlewood, Steve Lerud, Benji Gonzalez, Tyler Smith, and Dario Pizzano.
