Calling up Venters too?

[Mattionals]

I wonder who gets DFA'd? Maybe Hellickson to the 60-day?

Fernando Rodney going to be called up. FML. I said that I would drop fandom for this. I won’t. But FML....

Why does Rodney get the call over Bacus?

[Squab]

Why does Rodney get the call over Baucus?

I don't love it either, but Bacus isn't going anywhere, if Rodney/Venters suck they can get rid of one of them and give the roster spot to Bacus.

[Expos]

Unreal.

Rizzo doing what he does best. Dumpster diving.

For who? They have an empty roster spot

One of Rodney/Venters takes Rosenthal's spot. There needs to be another 40-man spot opened up for the other.

If they only need a spot on the 40, Miller to the 60 seems likely.  He got yanked from his rehab assignment and he's already been out more than a month.

True enough, but I'd think we're past the point of high (?) upside reclamation projects and whoever is demonstrably better should get the nod, now.

There are only 38 on the 40 player roster

Taylor sent down, Zim activated

[GburgNatsFan]

Zimmerman activated. Taylor optioned.

I know he can't hit worth crap, but at some point we're going to miss his glove in CF. Robles has improved by leaps and bounds, but everyone is just one at bat from a broken wrist.

It's like Slate has me on ignore. I like it.

MAT is my wife's favorite player. I don't know how to break it to her.

I mean, if he breaks his wrist, he's probably going on the IL ....

[aspenbubba]

I don't understand the urgency of re-instating Zimm. Why couldn't he take the full 20 days allotted position players to rehab?

[Bloo]

Hopefully we see the White Ninja sometime this season

There are 18 million reasons, but I don't get it either...the guy is washed up...another Ryan Howard...

Baseball players today are such sissies.

Adams is both hitting and fielding capably, which provides all the incentive in the world for Zimmerman to pretend to be healthy again.

A lot of 3 run dongs (Adams) going to now be GIDP.

Hes been on the IL for over two months.

They wanted him for these games where he can dl

Nice Freudian slip...
