Did Zastrysny die or something? Why is Floro constantly getting the call?

 

Strained lat for Zastryzny.

 

Strained bat for Schwarber.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

PTR's not going to be able to afford all these trips back and forth.

 

He's trying to squeeze an extra year of service time out of Schwarber to offset the cost.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm ok with the Schwarber move. Let him DH every day for a few weeks and regain some confidence against AAA pitching. I still think he will be fine, and sooner than later.

[Guancous]

Didn't see that Schwarber's demotion was being discussed here before I created my thread.

 

Mods, please delete that thread (and this post too!) Thanks.

Zagunis back to Iowa to make room for Zobrist.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Heyward off the DL, Leathersich called up. Candelario Anson Peña down.

 

Leathersich has had some great numbers recently (though he's still prone to outings where he has no control) and is definitely worth a look as a second lefty in the pen.

The Leatherman gets sent back down to Iowa, it would be appropriate if they made him walk to Des Moines. (ha ha ha)

 

That Dylan Florio guy is back to eat up 3-4 innings today and head right back to Iowa

Horseteeth activated, Butler sent down

[Vinestal]

So who goes down when Hendricks is recalled? A bullpen arm I guess? Who?

Mystery injury for Grimm or Koji, or another round of drama with Seal Boy

With only 8 plate appearances in the month of July, I was assuming it would be La Stella.

Tommy aint going no where since KB is missing a finger now.

If Monty is available I don't see the need for Pena especially because Seal Boy has been swinging his flipper well as of late.

Whoever they pick, Hendricks is going to knock them off the roster in 48 hours or so. Given that Grimm threw 43 pitches yesterday and Edwards/Strop/Rondon all threw 15+, it's probably a better bet that Pena can be helpful(even only as insurance) than La Stella's pinch at bat would be.

I would have gotten rid of Grimm instead of LaStella but oh well.

[Bear Cub]

Call me a softy, but I kind of feel sorry for LaStella.

Grimm and Caratini down to make room for Wilson and Avila.

Paging Victor Caratini.

 

Your flight to Phoenix awaits

[Cubswin11]

Don't want to make a new thread but any guesses on September call ups?

 

I'd think Caritini, Zas and Grimm are locks. Obviously Willy, Lester and Russell whenever they are healthy.

 

But anyone else? Maples should be up, IMO. Maybe Tseng or PJ just to have some bullpen depth in the event of a blowout game? Then maybe Hannemann or Zagunis? That's getting to kind of a lot of guys.
