Soto to DL, Volstad to Iowa, Lalli up

Maine makes sense, hopefully they bring up another short reliever like Beliveau or maybe MacDougal in lieu of Coleman or Lopez again. Especially since Bowden has likely earned a few weeks of low leverage duty after the week he's had.

Coleman's already up.

Well then send him back down already.

 

That pen is just a hodgepodged mess right now.

Most pens are going to be a mess without a reliable end game. In 2011, we had Russell, Shark, Wood,Marshall, and Marmol for a formiddable bulpen. Carpenter and Cashner were also in and out. Russell is the only one left, leaving us to fill it up with a 35 year old journeyman, a failed top prospect, a promising young guy who's always had control issues as well as a carousel of various other flotsam. I simply think that it's time to just throw our best guys forword. Beliveau and Cabrera, should be first in line, and I wouldn't mind giving Jackson a chance.

Apparently all they're interested in is warm bodies.

Hopefully Volstad can work out whatever has been going on there, or Travis Wood makes him just a memory.

Which is good. Don't bother bringing the kids up til they appear ready. Let Wells be the sacrificial lamb.

Volstad is god awful. Soto sucks. Wells has his head up his tukas. We might as well be a AAA team. And its only mid-May. Awesome.

Very insightful analysis.
