OF Juan Encarnacion was given the night off Friday. "He had some bad swings the other day," manager Jack McKeon said. "His wrist is bothering him. It's time to give him a breather."

you'd have thought a position player might be a little more useful.

Well thats not bad, that means he can come back on the 11th which is thursday.

He would would be eligible to come back Thursday or Friday. If hes not going to be able to play, I guess it makes sense to have an extra pitcher with 5 games in the next 4 days in 3 cities.

Messenger??? We need a middle infielder.

How stupid is this?

 

Or...Be fun to have Hermida or another big stick for a few games.

But, Jack would keep him on the bench.

A first baseman with a sore elbow is about as common as a chess player with a pulled hamstring. Okay, so that is an obvious exaggaration.

Gonzalez is fine, and Castillo is as fine as hes going to be, so were ok with Easley. We need six starting pitchers this week, which leaves our bullpen one man short, so its not a bad move.
