The real thing to look out for would be Lnagerhans stealing too much PT from Balentien just as he's maybe showing signs of getting a little more comfortable in a starting gig. I'm no Balentien fan, but I'd still rather see him in the line-up most nights than Langerhans unless you feel you need plus D that night because Washburn or Vargas or Olson (ah crud...that's 3/5 of our rotation) are pitching.
Mike Morse is worthless to the Mariners unless he showed any sign of being able to play third when I wasn't looking. Nope? K...we're good. And no...Langerhans isn't going to eat PT from Saunders...since Saunders isn't close to being ready yet and neither are Halman or any of the other outfielders.
The real question is...what does Z do tomorrow to plug the third base hole and the shortstop hole. Because we're in deep doodoo if we try running Branyan out there at third, Carp at first and Cedeno at short (whoooooo-boy!).
Perhaps the Wacky-Jack Wilson rumors will resurface.
