Bobby Bradley up, Blake Parker up, Eli Morgan down, Jake Bauers DFAd
I have to say I am mostly happy about this series of moves. Bauers has had plenty of chances with the Indians. Plenty. I guess the organization felt that with Yandy Diaz's lack of power (.292 SLG) this year, it was the best PR time to get rid of Bauers.
I wanted to see Morgan yesterday piggybacking with Mejia but that didn't happen. Hopefully he can, by merit, not injury, get another stint this year and make the most of it.
I have said before and am saying again that Parker should not be on this team. For anyone who say Heath Hembree's performance for Cincinnati so far you understand what AAAA relievers give you in the majors. Since I expect Hembree-like numbers for Parker, my question is: Really? The problem is that there was literally no one else. Broom has been so-so, unfortunately. Hill is still on the DL and Mickolajchak is still a ways away, experience-wise. And all the rest of the AAA relievers are AAAA relievers, in actuality. So we throw Parker against the wall and hope he sticks. Thus is life when you don't have 5 legitimate starters.
Good to see Mejia and Sandlin pitch well yesterday. Good day for Maton, not so good for Shaw and Wittgren. The hitting, as usual, was atrocious. Really disappointed in Owen Miller...still.
Hopefully today is a better day but even with Civale, facing Means will be a task.
Minor league teams still sucking it up.
