Brandon Lyon DFA'd

Thoughts?

 

[JosMin]

He's getting paid an awful lot of money this year ($5.5M) for a setup guy. Unless they ate his entire salary and accepted trash for him, I'd pass.

Brandon Lyon is only making 750K this year.

WTF does Fujikawa have to do with Brandon Lyon? One suffered an injury and one has just been bad.

If he's a reliever and not making much, bring him in, it's hard not to improve garbage no matter how bad he can be.

Means you've heard me tell you a million times Brandon Lyon @ 750K is better than most of what we have in the bullpen while you were busy defending the Asian sensations' >5 ERA.

Could work both ways here. Sign him and have him be solid for the rest of the year, meriting a contract next year based on performance. Or sign him, hope he gets hot then sell sell sell....I prefer the former.
