I've learned to really pay attention to Drayer. What she says, how she says it and what she doesn't say always seem to give indications. Too, they way she frames quotes are illuminating. I think that unlike Baker, she's trusted to not blab every single thing that they tell her. That, or her intuition is just darn fine. From her post on Lee's return today:
The question now is who comes out of the rotation once Lee is activated? Don Wakamatsu said that they are looking at a number of options. The odd man out of the rotation could find himself in the long role in the bullpen or possibly starting in Tacoma. After his outing last night, Doug Fister most likely does not have to worry about that option.
"He probably wouldn't be a candidate for that now," Wak said, "he could start or be the long guy."
If I were a betting man, I would lay odds on Fister going to the pen on that alone. Makes some sense if they want to give Snell and RRS some more rope.
