The Dam Bursts
We're in a tailspin, and all hell breaks loose. Can't you imagine the way Jim Bowden's eyes would light up after making this many transactions in one day?
-- Jon Rauch to the 15-day DL with a torn labrum -- that's not good!
-- John Patterson to the 15-day DL retro to 5/16 with back spasms -- hopefully it's nothing chronic
-- Claudio Vargas designated for assigment -- WTF? Why not just option him?
-- Zach Day optioned to AAA
-- TJ Tucker activated from the DL
-- Tyrell Godwin called up from the minors
-- Sunny Kim called up from the minors
-- CJ Nitkowski signed as FA (after Pitt released him)
-- Terrmel Sledge shifted to the 60-day DL -- just a roster-space formality
I'll have more later, but the Nitkowski signing isn't a good one -- just a panic move. Vargas being DFAd is just crazy. And good for Godwin and Kim -- their solid AAA performances are being rewarded.
Oh, and for all your one-stop CJ news, check out his website. (And for you Godless communist readers, feel free to mock him.)

Maybe Jesus will teach him how to throw a slider.

Perhaps, Jimmy Bo is giving Vargas a chance to play elsewhere before releasing him.
that's the only reason I can think of for the DFA. if nobody picks up Vargas during Waivers, then they'll release him outright.
you think?

Right. But he's got options left. We can send him to AAA without losing him.

then the question becomes...do we really care if we lose him or not?
I don't think Vargas will be in this organization much longer. I think the reason the Designated him instead of optioning, is because Jimmy Bo wants to get rid of him.

I don't think he'll ever be starter material, but he's got a decent fastball and if he can learn his slider a little better, he could be useful in the pen.
This organization is lacking prospects and has been wracked by injuries. I'm not willing to give up on anybody who still has option years, period.

I've stood by the belief that Vargas is perfect for the guy who hands the lead over to the primary setup/closer (2IP max). Let him come in and air it out for 2 innings with no concerns with pitch counts.
