My personal opinion:
Cuningham brought back up to replace stairs/venable/gwynn
Eckstein replaces Cabrera obviously.
Durango brought back for the previously mentioned outfielders.
Adams knocks out Mujica.
Waiver a good starting pitcher, or make Young wake up and get his ass back here we need our ace back.(start stauffer until)
Leblanc and Mujica need to be gone above all else though. Offenses suffer occasionally and ours is spikey, but if your going to rely on pitching you need to kill the weaknesses.

I think Cunningham needs to be at Portland so he is able to get everyday ABs.
I'm curious if they will send ECab down, I think it's the right thing to do, but what does that really mean to Bud and Jed. LOL
I think Frieri goes back down, he had his cup of coffee and we will see him in Sept. I'm not saying Mujica is better, but Frieri has options. That's the way it goes.
I agree, we will see a waiver trade for a SP. Hopefully we can just claim one and save the prospect. Innings eater needed!
Not sure why you want LeBlanc gone, he hasn't allowed more than four runs in a game dating back to May. He gives these guys a chance to win every time out. The bats just need to start working.

What about having Cunningham starting in left everyday? Might as well if you platoon out there. Given regular AB's I think AC would do fine.

Waiving Mujica is a horrible idea. He has no options and would have to be traded/released. It's a guarentee that a team would claim him and you could only trade him to that team or let him go for nothing. That's insane. Why do that when Frieri or Webb can go down and be back on Sept. 1st when rosters expand?
I wish there was a way to keep Stairs in the clubhouse and bring in a left handed hitter off the bench to take his place. I'd also like to see another starter added that's a difference maker. I don't know if they want to upset the team chemistry that much.
Hairston should start ONLY against LHP.
Venable looks like he's heating up again. He should be in LF everyday. I like Deno in CF with Gwynn getting a start here and there and coming in for a defensive upgrade. We're going to see some more of our young bullpen depth come Sept. and probably Cunningham and or Durango. We may even see Zwad for more infield depth and Salazar will be coming off the DL.
