A's get Karsay
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/scorecard/mlbnews.asp?articleID=166568
"The Cleveland Indians sent pitcher Steve Karsay to the Oakland A's in exchange for an undisclosed amount of cash on Sunday."
I guess....this is good for a temporary fix. All these injuries are still making my head spin though.
Lets Go A's.

Karsay is making $6?

From what I can gather
Picked up by the Rangers.
Rangers declined Arbitration and released him.
Signed to Minor League Deal by the Indians.
So my guess is that ESPN has his 2005 salary when he was with the Yankees listed.

there is real worry behind this move
Duke on the DL;
Calero overused;
Street still not 100%;
Saarloos and Halsey in the rotation.

Agree, but ...
Who Karsay replaces is the Duke. And I like the pickup. He's had a pretty solid relieving career and he started in Oakland. Probably a cheap pickup and I think it's a solid one.
Slide him into the 7th inning slot with Calero taking the 8th. I think it'll work out.
Good pickup.

I don't know
I see the pickup as similar to Halsey, Yabu, and Witasick: cheap insurance at the back end of the roster. I wouldn't look for him to be part of the "close out games" crew unless the A's are truly desperate (like Street and/or Calero go down before Duke or Witasick return), or unless Karsay proves over time (like, a month) to be a lot better than the Indians seem to think he is.

Tadano...
You're kidding me, right?
Tadano is currently on the DL anyways.

where...
I don't think he's half that bad-- given the chance he actaully gets to start a few games in a row and get into a groove.
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7316/career
He'd probably be better than LOIZA (ack).
I think having him in the pen would really help mix things up-- he's got some crazy pitches and a nomo windup.
