August 1, 200917 yr This leaves the team with what? Two outfielders, and two second basemen roaming out there?
August 1, 200917 yr Is one of those demotions to make room for Lindstrom? Or are they bringing Maybin up? It's for Lindstrom. Incredible isn't it? A guy who has hit lefties well and provided great defense gets sent down for a guy who has posted a 1.9 WHIP this year. Yipee! Yea, let's go with a 5 man rotation and 6 man bullpen. Or how about a 4 man rotation and a 7 man bullpen?
August 1, 200917 yr Bonifacio has been meh against lefties this year. Certainley better against righties. So, my guess is since Bonifacio is the super utility guy, he'll take Carrols spot, who also hit lefties well.
August 1, 200917 yr Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I hope that bringing Lindstrom up doesnt f*** up the bullpen again. We have been doing GREAT with Nunez as the closer. Pleaaaaaaase Fredi, dont be stubborn with Matty again, PLEASE!
August 1, 200917 yr I mean I guess it DOES make sense to need to have an extra relief pitcher for now since we have Badenhop going as our 5th starter as of now. But still, that really sucks for Carroll. I honestly believe that having Carroll platoon with Hermida is more important than the extra reliever. I mean you can't really send Sanches down because Badenhop is in the rotation and we need that long reliever, but a guy like Ayala can go. We have guys like Donnelly and Calero, Ayala could've been sent down and it really would've set this team up better in the long run imo. Well now we are probably going to get the joy of having a Bonifaco/Hermida platoon or a C.C./Bonifacio Platoon along with 13 pitchers and one pitcher that we haven't used in 4 games. Yay

Or how about a 4 man rotation and a 7 man bullpen? I don't know what this means, really. The reason this move was made is b/c the organization wants to carry an EXTRA pitcher. We don't NEED a pitcher. We already have 12 with or without Lindstrom (or Ayala, take your pick). What we don't have now, is a true 4th OF'er. Yipee!

We don't have a TRUE third outfielder. It's nice knowing you have a great defensive outfielder on the bench to come in and get the job done late.

Yea, dumb move, lol. Should've sent down Sanchez for Johnson.

August 1, 200917 yr Who can play center if Cody goes down? Bonifacio. If I remember correctly, Fredi has already said he will get some starts there.
August 1, 200917 yr Author Who can play center if Cody goes down? Bonifacio This pretty much can't stay this way b/c... 1. Bonifacio has little to no experience in CF. 2. If that occurs in a game and Bonifacio has to play CF, we're left with ZERO backup middle infielders. This has to be temporary. BC will be back soon, I bet.
August 1, 200917 yr We did. No, just Sanchez for Johnson. Not Sanchez andf Carroll for Johnson and Lindstrom.
August 1, 200917 yr Who can play center if Cody goes down? Bonifacio. If I remember correctly, Fredi has already said he will get some starts there. WTF, Why the hell is Bonifacio going to play outfield over probably one of the best young defensive outfielder in the game today?
August 1, 200917 yr I guess the next blunder by Ayala will get him sent down for Carroll. Really, he's the only option to be sent down in our bullpen. Or Lindstrom goes back to the minors again if he can't be successful this time around.

August 1, 200917 yr Why not send down Sanchez to make room for Johnson and Sanches for Lindstrom. They haven't used much of either of them.

WTF, Why the hell is Bonifacio going to play outfield over probably one of the best young defensive outfielder in the game today? I guess some off days for Ross, they'll put Bonifacio out there. I don't know, just throwing sh!t around.
August 1, 200917 yr This better be just for tomorrow. Insurance just in case the hopper gets rocked, have an extra arm in the pen. Then send down/dfa Ayala and bring BC back up.

August 1, 200917 yr Why not send down Sanchez to make room for Johnson and Sanches for Lindstrom. They haven't used much of either of them. Brian Sanches has been better than Lindstrom though./

WTF, Why the hell is Bonifacio going to play outfield over probably one of the best young defensive outfielder in the game today? Who is that? B.C. and let me re word that, he is great defensively and can be on of the best while Bonifacio has played a total of 0 inning in CF and only 14 innings in the OF.

Well someone is going to have to start on Cody's days off, and a Boni/Ross CF/RF combo wouldn't be that much worse than a Ross/Hermida combo against LHP. And if we sent Boni down instead of BC we would have no backup at SS or 2B, unless you count Coghlan.
