Message: [QUOTE="donniesyracuse, post: 2214333, member: 101"] The popular thinking among the hot sports take crowd is that the Yankees should place Tanaka on the 10 day DL with "exhaustion" or some other fake injury. Of course in such a scenario, Tanaka would need to be complicit. Even if two weeks in Tampa might be in Tanaka's interest, I don't see such a scenario sitting-well with the player's association. They would not want a precedent set where teams start placing slumping players without minor league options on the DL for "exhaustion" rather than having to designate them for assignment. [/QUOTE]
