Hart to DL (appendectomy) -- Hall recalled

[brewmann04]

as per Adam Mac Tweet Hart has appendix out in SD and Hall to be called up after playing RF tonight in Nashville.

[fondybrewfan]

O jeez.

 

Hart was actually playing pretty decent over the last couple of weeks. I think Hall should be able to play RF just fine but it is going to take a lot of convincing before I believe that Hall's bat can play a corner outfield spot for an extended period of time.

 

I am definitely hoping that he succeeds, both because it would help out the Brewers plus his "Value" would go up.

[yogallardo43]

Well this is not good news. We are at a time in the season where making up games is possible.

[brewers19]

Hall in right field? Even with his righty bat, I'd still rather see Cat or Gerut out there.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Things just keep getting worse for this team. Very disappointing. Didn't wanna see Hall as our starting RF tomorrow night, but now that will happen due to Kershaw starting.

[clancyphile]

I'm hoping Hall has the hot last two months that will let the Brewers deal him for more than a bag of baseballs.

The Brewers need to bring somebody up, and Hall is the only player on the 40 man that has OF experience.

 

Hall obviously gets starts vs LHP and hopefully doesn't see RHP. He presumably starts tomorrow against Kershaw.

 

Edit: corrected tomorrow's pitcher.

Update: Hart out until September. Just keeps getting worse.

[RU Rah Rah]

Baseball aside, I wish him a speedy recovery.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Oh man...I hope he's ok. That is not a fun thing to go through. Hang in there Corey.

[bigredrobbo]

Well that officially sucks. There might not be that many of us left that see him as a valuable part of the Crew's future rather than a trading chip - get well soon, Corey....

[pogokat]

I think hall just goes on the bench and you get a platoon of cat and gerut...there's no way they are going to play hall over those other two when they weren't before...

[Funketown]

Wow, that's rough...

 

For only a month, I don't think this will be a terrible downgrade. Hopefully Catalanatto can be productive.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I guarantee that Hall starts in RF against lefties. The difference is that Hart used to always play against lefties, so there was no opportunity for Hall there.

[logan82]

This sounds like a goo time to try Braun in right.

 

I wish Hart well. Without him I don't have a favorite player on the team anymore.(Weeks being the other)

[jeffy]

Why do we need two back-up outfielders?

 

I think they'd probably be better off carrying an extra pitcher, except they probably don't have any one that would be a better option than just having Hall pitch.

 

Maybe it's time for them to give Brooks Kieshnick a call. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Hall couldn't possibly have "straightened himself out" in the few days he was down there. If he's on the bench, he's back in the same situation he was in before, and if he's playing, he's an offensive black hole. There has to be someone else they could have pulled up so Hall could stay down and play everyday.

 

Even Corey Patterson could have been stuck on the end of the bench and get the occasional pinch-hit (out) at bat instead of bringing Hall back up to do nothing. I don't think going to AAA was going to be a magic cure-all, but he's not going to get himself out of this mega-slump by playing 1-2 days a week in RF either.

[thablingster]

Major get well wishes to Corey. Miller Park will have the sound, pitch, and key of a good chorus by the end of the month to "Your Love" with all of the at-bats Cat will probably be getting.

 

I too am wary of how much Hall really could have turned things around in AAA, but I suppose we don't really have many other options at this point. I wish him the best as well.

[hawing]

Ohhhh, Corey, get well soon. I might enjoy singing along to Your Love during Frank's at-bats, but I'd rather have you playing.

 

I think the 2009 Brewers have now officially turned the corner into snakebit territory.

[TooLiveBrew]

Jeez, get well soon Corey, nevermind the baseball angle. I'd ask what else could go wrong this year, but I don't want to tempt the baseball gods.

[JoeHova]

Hopefully Hart gets well soon.

 

I also hope that Bill gets to play in RF, otherwise bringing him up was pointless. Very disappointing if he just sits on the bench.

[Mike]

Don't fret, he will be back way before September. Unless his appendix burst and there is an infection, he should be back in 2 weeks tops.

 

I know this from experience. Though I'm not a Doctor, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Yeah, I was actually a little stunned they put him on the DL... appendectomies are practically day surgery at this point.

 

Unless, as Mike said, it burst.

[Mr QL]

I like the idea of trying Braun out in RF to see how he does. Billy/Cat/Gerut/McGehee can split time in left. Why not experiment?.

According to the JS, he's to partake in absolutely no activity for 7 days after the surgery. Sounds like he might have been in pretty bad shape.
