The speed with which the M's have downshifted and plugged Franklin in the #2 hole and Zunino as the #1 catcher.... well I would say it is 'Seahawks-esque'.
The cynics would say that these rapid changes are happening due to desperation. I wouldn't doubt that the M's are feeling a sense of urgency, especially with the rest of the division being a bit softer than anticipated at the beginning of the year. There's still a chance to make the playoffs. But, I couldn't really argue that Zunino or Franklin would be better served by more time in AAA. It feels like the timing is right. And with other talented prospects and DL denizens about ready to hit the tarmac, this could be something of an orchestrated crescendo of roster makeover.
Apologies for the mixed metaphors. :-)
