Balester needs more time in the minors. It'd make sense for us to give Stammen a shot, though.
I agree on Balester, and I don't think we should be giving up on Olsen yet. I don't think he's injured, I think it's just mental. He's shown at times he has some amazing stuff this season, but that's maybe 10% of the time. I think he needs another couple months in the majors and if he can't turn it around by then, we just need to cut him. He'll either figure it out up here or his career is over. But I'm absolutely not ready to give up on him... Particularly since he has an excellent attitude and view/outlook on the game.
And another homer given up by Johnson! This team is shocking how one season goes from last year to this. These west coast games have been nuts when it comes to HRs.
