This move might be cited as the very definition of "Desperation Move" or "Transaction of Desperation." Coming up losing 3/4 to a team like the Astros where offense fell asleep, particularly against lefties, and a few defensive mishaps on the left side, back comes Lawrie. Hopefully he'll only need a game or two to get his timing back, and won't be a horrible spot of offense but they're heading into a series against a first place team, while being 3.5 games back after that laugher of a series, I guess they're doing everything to try and win a few games.
