As we found out all too early last night, Mayckol Guaipe was called up to provide some help to a beleaguered bullpen.* The M’s pen had been worked pretty hard in the Cleveland series, particularly the Sunday game, and with Danny Farquhar in Tacoma (and changing roles), you can understand the need to add a live body. The problem was the flip side of that move – optioning SS Chris Taylor back to Tacoma.
We’re less than a month from the announcement that the Mariners were officially moving Brad Miller from his perch as the starting SS and shifting him around the diamond.
