May 5, 201214 yr it's official now. Sandy Rosario and Chris Hatcher added to roster. Bryan Petersen and Daniel Jennings sent down to AAA.
May 5, 201214 yr Why Peterson down? Probably because the pen arms are getting tired and Bell sucks. A bat off of the bench is less important.
May 5, 201214 yr I think we'll see him back soon enough, especially if he hits well in New Orleans again.

May 5, 201214 yr I don't blame him for being pissed, but that pen was really tapped last night with Johnson going less than 3 innings. Someone has to fall on the sword for the short term.
May 6, 201214 yr I don't blame him for being pissed, but that pen was really tapped last night with Johnson going less than 3 innings. Someone has to fall on the sword for the short term. Exactly. They had to make room. He knows the drill. It was just a whirlwind week for him and he didn't even get that much playing time. He's better off getting consistent starts in Triple-A. I'm sure he'll be back with the big league club by June. Especially if Morrison's knee issues continue. He's a good kid; usually has a pretty decent attitude. I feel a little bad for him, though.
May 6, 201214 yr what are the rules for how long a player needs to stay down before they come back up (referring to petersen)?
May 6, 201214 yr what are the rules for how long a player needs to stay down before they come back up (referring to petersen)? 10 days unless there is an injury.

The Bell demotion had very little, if anything to do with this. JJ not being able to get out of 3rd inning had a ton to do with it.
May 6, 201214 yr Petey's pissed cause he knew Buehrle would go the distance. Ozzie did. Before the game a reporter asked him who the closer would be. He said, "Buehrle." Just read that @ marlins.com. Thought it was pretty funny. Especially seeing how many CGs we have this year.
May 6, 201214 yr Hatcher is actually a solid pitcher. Short sample size, but yeah, pretty strong start in AAA this season.

If Gaby's struggles continue Petersen might/should get some playing time in LF. Same with Morrison's health as you say.
May 7, 201214 yr Gaby playing poorly is good for lomos knee. The dude shouldn't be in lf. Lomo at first and platoon in lf while gaby figures it out in the minors is something I'm all for if gaby doesn't improve by Friday. It gives lomos knee time to get better and improves the team. Indeed it does improve the team. Defensively for sure, maybe even level on offense. A little more speed, at any rate.
May 7, 201214 yr I was gonna say something that it was said a couple of posts back...we should start playing Peteypipes in LF and move LoMo back to 1st for the time being...besides the fact that Gaby looks lost at the plate, this move would put less strain in LoMo's knees...
