So the Red Sox DFA’d Tavarez. Will Sabean crap himself at the news?

the only reason Bowker should go to AAA is so that he can get more at bats, including against Lefties. If he starts to get only 2-3 pinch hit ABs a week because Aurilia gets hot or something silly, he shouldn’t waste development time on the bench. Down he goes and bring up the great Leono.
