O's need to DFA Tommy Hunter

[Rob]

He is pure GARBAGE. O's just get back in it after trailing 5-1 thanks to a 3-run homer by Davis. Then, in comes Hunter and he immediately gives up 4 runs making it 9-4. Pure and utter trash pitcher.

An inning and two-thirds and the bum has allowed 8 hits, 4 runs and a walk.

In his last 10 appearances, he's giving up at least 4 runs in 7 of them. TRASH.

DFA him NOW!!

Can we package DFA him with Mark Reynolds? I'm getting so sick of watching Reynolds either strike out or hit tippy-tap grounders to the middle of the infield and barely running to first base. (while making $7 million). Reynolds is one of the worst signings ever.

[Slidemaster]

Matusz and Arrieta can go with him.

Now that the Thome acquisition is official, the O's HAVE to DFA someone after the game today. My guess? Tolleson or Pearce.

[Bassman]

Matusz and Arrieta can go with him.

Brilliant. Who do you propose Buck sends out in their places?

You are the only one who agrees with me on this. I think both of these guys need at least a year or two at Norfolk or Bowie. They have potential, and that is all right now. They were improperly brought up to the Majors because of our dearth of pitchers.

I don't think it would really hurt at this point to give Tillman and Berken 3 starts. They have options.

Uh, lots of guys can put up an ERA lower than 5, so basically anyone.

I think they need to know they can be replaced by scrap heap pitchers that can be obtained almost anywhere.

In our minor league system? I'd love to hear who
