I was going to joke that they are moving JP to first, maybe you do actually. Its more of an infield position now than simply a power position

Hancock pitched 1 inning in relief tonight. He has to be a better option than Vargas and Saucedo…

Not that this is a big deal but since July 31st (trade deadline) here's the comparison between these 2.

Should we not re-sign Naylor this could be a good plan b.

Furbush on some of the challenges of converting, I think they try to give some predictability to it, so you can have some sort of routine. At what point of the game you might get called on
However, there are some challenges that Furbush pointed out, with the adjustment from the routine-driven nature of being a starting pitcher to the unpredictable nature of pitching out of the bullpen being a major one.
“I think this will be a perfect kind of short run to get your feet wet in the bullpen and see what it’s like down there in between innings, see how you react,” Furbush said. “Because in a lot of ways, as a former starter, you’re so routine-driven. … Everything’s kind of set up.
“I would say it’s way more chaotic in the bullpen because everything is not set up and there’s no predictability to anything. You don’t know when you’re going to pitch. So, you’re kind of having to figure out, well, how do I get ready and how do I make sure that I’m always close to peaking and making sure the body’s warm?”
Furbush also noted that relievers may have to come into a game with runners on and pitch out of the stretch immediately, as well as the increased importance of throwing strikes.
“You have to come in and be dialed. So this is like a perfect time to (test it out),” Furbush said. “… I’d say he passed the eye test Round 1. … There’s always that one player that comes out of nowhere that can help the team win down the stretch, and he fills up the gap in some big innings. I think (Hancock is) a perfect guy that no one saw coming (who) could easily get some big outs when the Mariners need it.”
