Avila to the DL, Bryan Holaday to be called up

[spockmaster]

or so the rumors are going on twitter per a few beat reporters (including one from Toledo who apparently saw Nevin and Holaday talking in the parking lot lol).

Apparently Brantly is going from Erie to Toledo to replace Holaday, and McCann is going from Lakeland to Erie. This is not good news for us. It means with Laird still hobbling, either Santos or Holaday is going to start tomorrow...hooray. We really are slowly becoming Miggy, Prince, and the Mud Hens.





And before anyone suggests it, no we should not bring up Brantly to replace Avila.

reasons for Holaday over Brantley, and who Lee thinks is removed from the 40 man roster.

So Santos sac files in the winning run in the last game we managed to win and he gets DFA'd LOL. Isn't that something. boy a boy there going to have to make a bunch of extra WS rings this year for all the guys that used to be here that will still be in line to receive one.

Wow, you mean the guy managed to hit a flyball?

Might as well bat him cleanup then.

The guy threw out 1 runner in 12 the past two years.

You'd figure a player as bad with the bad as him would at least be a good defensive catcher, but he's not.

And wtf is with Ortega?

Seriously?

Fucking joke, just shows how dumb the organization is, promoting somebody who sucks and can't throw strikes, just because he throws hard.

Santos was bad behind the plate after being called up. A sac fly won't change that.

I have to question why on earth someone like Ortega is even on the 40-man roster. It is like Shane Loux all over again.

I think at this point they are just drawing names out of a hat.
