    ... it looked like stability was coming to the bullpen. Now a ticket to AAA or some other club, maybe in the AL West, hurting for relief. What's the price to pay for getting some "offense?" This ain't it!

    ... at half the price. At least now we have a first string catcher, a back-up, and an emergency in AAA, like most normal teams try to do.

    DFA'ing Kelley to make room makes the most sense, I guess. Low probability he'll be picked up to begin with, an if he is, the M's are on the hook for less than a half mil of his salary. The fact that he's not one of Wedge's favorites might have had something to do with it, too.
