It's fair to question who's at fault...Mauer, Molitor, or both. It's also fair to wonder why, in a game where the lineup features Garver, Gimenez, Adrianza, and Granite, Mauer is on the bench.
The method might or might not be vastly different, but I think a couple things stand out to me: - roster churn: They seem to me much quicker to move on from moves that haven't produced, and seem more than willing to play the AAA/MLB shuttle game that other teams use. That's in direct contrast to TRs roster moves. - quick DL decisions: this is somewhat off topic, but they are way quicker to make quick DL decisions, rather than let a guy go "day-to-day" for a week while the team plays shorthanded. Part of that is probably the easier decision a 10 day DL represents over a 14 day DL, but I think the primary difference is just resolve and the recognition that playing shorthanded isn't productive.
