Delgado To The DL, Pagan Called Up

Delgado might have hip surgery and we should be seeing even more of Fernando Tatis. Unless Jerry Manuel hands Omir Santos a first baseman's mitt.

Sweet

Now we have someone else who Jerry will probably hit first or second who has absolutely no business there.

Sweet. Now we have 7 OFs.

I'm really disappointed by this

I was hoping Pagan would be unduly punished for his arrest just so I wouldn’t have to see him.

I love Pagan

But we don’t need another outfielder, and he’s only played a handful of games in the past calendar year.

We probaly dont... but who else is there to call up?

I guess maybe Murphy will be taking over some of tatis’s utility duties at third and some time at first. So that just leaves us with… yeah still too many outfielders.

Hopefully this will be temporary.

My hope of all hopes (but will never happen)? Redding’s called up, Livan sent down, Green sent down, Niese calls up, Figueroa stays up in the bullpen, we trade for a 1B/LF bat that we can sign to a longer contact.

It should've been Evans...

but he’s been so terrible they just couldn’t do it. On the other hand, demoting him seems like a slap in the face. Hopefully he can still contribute this season.

Well with as bad as he was doing in AAA

I’m not sure they had any other choice but to demote him

It's hard for Evans

to play in Buffalo, he needs the adrenaline that Bingamton/St. Lucie provides.

Really?

Wow, that is the definition of unlucky. Jesus Christ. Now I feel awful for him.

Very true.

Plus he was battling for playing time with a bunch of schmucks. And I believe he’s a very good defensive 1B. He made highlight plays in his few innings there last year plus I believe the MiLB TZ metrics rated him well.
