Do you honestly feel that we're all being dicks to you because you're so much smarter than the rest of us? Like are you sitting there smugly feeling that you are holding back a tide of idiots?
Is this actually what you think?
... You obviously don't understand the rules for bringing players from Japan to the MLB... You can't just sign a player out of Japan. There are LOTS of rules for Japanese players leaving the country, which is why it's such a huge deal when Yu Darvish was available in his mid 20s.
I know this is falling on deaf ears, but seriously... Do you ever even pause to consider what you're about to type?
Yeah, Japan just y'know, won the WBC twice, they're pretty bad over there... And Kawasaki won the "best 9" twice (award to the best player at each position in the league...) meaning he was literally the best shortstop in all of Japan at one point.
"Never been anything more than a bench player." except, .you know, how this is his second year in the MLB, and in Japan he was an allstar 8 years in a row...
With the 8 man pen, a lot of guys just aren't getting any work, so Loup would have made sense to send down (for the time being.) 4 lefties is kinda crazy.
Guys on the 40 man who aren't on the 25 man currently:
64 Chad Jenkins
49 Brad Lincoln
35 Sean Nolin
58 Todd Redmond
31 Michael Schwimer
37 Mickey Storey
51 Thad Weber
6 A.J. Jimenez
2 Ryan Goins
Mauro Gomez
13 Brett Lawrie
8 Anthony Gose
14 Moises Sierra
One of these guys will probably be gone (or Morrow or Happ could be transferred to the 60 day DL.)
Please keep your "DFA Lawrie" comments to a minimum.

Probably the right move, but we still need a 40 man roster spot... Do we dare expose one of the shitbags that nobody even remembers was on the team to waivers?
At least we have some knowledgeable posters... Every single one of them was convinced that O'Day did nothing to provoke Bautista, and that the fans were chatting "O'Day O'Day O'Day O'day" without noticing that "O'Day" rhymes with "Jose" and that the latter makes infinitely more sense for the fans to be chanting.
