Since all the talk is scattered about in several threads, I thought I would bring it together in this one.
NOw of course, the waiver thing will come into play starting tomorrow. If I am a betting woman, Jamey Wright and Sosa are waived and Rangers will try to get something (anything) for them.
Gabbard takes Wright's place in the rotation.
Rheinecker stays in the majors, though I am not sure in what roll. With Mahay gone, that leaves CJ Wilson as the only lefty in the pen. So Rheinecker could take Mahay's place, or stay in the rotation and call up someone else.
Benoit is the closer until Aki comes back, then he goes setup.
Salty will go to 1B. I would rather him stay at Catcher, waive Melhuse, use Wilkerson at 1B and Laird as backup catcher or catcher on days when Wilkerson is in the outfield.
In a perfect world, Botts will get called up this week to take Sosa's place. Hairston gets waived since Kinsler is being activated today.
