JA Happ on DL, Edgar Gonzalez call up

[Arkadium]

What about Laffey? I'd prefer him over Gonza

[GD]

No,not at all. I'm just saying it's highly probable that Cecil could start and give us 3-4 decent innings. Carreno could be used as a bridge to the latter innings without taxing our pen. Carreno is better than a gas can,that i totally agree with. He's had a taste in the bigs before,so the transition shouldn't be dramatic.

 

I guess, I'd just like to move him up to AAA first.

He got released, like, two/three weeks ago, and signed with the Dodgers.

Was thinking about Ellsbury and Ortiz, would make sense to guarantee Cecil faces them.

 

It wouldn't happen, but wouldn't it be fun if Lincoln played 1B and he and Cecil subbed in and out of pitcher/1B depending on the matchup? Teams should teach their pitchers to play first base so they can maximize the platoon advantage.

 

Hahaha, that would be awesome. I really like that idea.

[Everett]

Huh, yeah, I like this idea, although I'd probably start Lincoln over Cecil. Remember that epic 3 inning Loup save? I bet he could give us 3-4 innings.

 

Did anyone else notice the similarity between Aaron Loup and Rube Baker from Major League 2?

This is genius. Why hasn't anyone ever thought of this and why isn't it implemented? Surely most of these guys have played some kind of position before. If their athletic enough it makes perfect sense.

 

Anyone with more baseball knowledge know if this is legal?

.. Oh my God, that's hilarious. Awesome.

Naturally they call up a fresh BP arm till they need a starter . Problem is a 40 man roster spot. If I were AA I would DFA Blanco , call p Thole and free a sot on the roster then call up Careno

And was PISSED at the Jays

And was PISSED at the Jays

 

With due cause.

@Wilnerness590: Happ is outside #Bluejays clubhouse - no crutches, head isn't wrapped. Shaking hands with Desmond Jennings. #Jays #Rays

 

@Wilnerness590: Happ on his way to newser. #Bluejays #Jays http://t.co/qdru0ag94z

 

@Wilnerness590: On watching replay, Happ says "I thought I made a decent pitch, I was frustrated." #Bluejays #Jays

Like I thought, good news!

[Angrioter]

Happ is tough wao

[digiblader]

Likely options for a call-up:

 

Claudio Vargas (3-1, 3.10 ERA)

Ryan Tepera (4-1, 2.78 ERA, 1.08 WHIP)--this is the most likely call-up.

Chad Jenkins

Sean Nolin(not yet--not stretched out enough)

 

Of course, AA may go out and add someone before Sunday.

Claudio Vargas will be the guy

[GD]

What's that gonna be, 7-8 weeks?

[GD]

Not sure bro.....but I'd guess about that or more, the knee sprain scares me the most.

 

Either way, not good at all.

Gonzalez just saved the Jays. Romero is terrible.
