Colome on DL; Narveson Recalled; Corporan DFA'd (Removed from 40-Man)

[wibadgers23]

The Brewers have placed reliever Jesus Colome on the 15-day DL with a right forearm strain and recalled left-handed reliever Chris Narveson from Class AAA Nashville.

Hooray for more meaningless moves!

[JohnBriggs12]

They should give Narveson some starts just to see how he'd do. No reason not to use these games for evaluation.

This is exciting!

They DFA'd Corporan too.

Hmm, seems that'd increase the likelihood of Salome here next year?

That's what I was thinking. If anything, it might give Angel a better chance of seeing some PT this September, too. There's only 3 catchers on the 40-man now, and he's the only one not in Milwaukee.

I can't figure why some on this site think Corporan should be the young catcher to make next year's team should Kendall or Rivera not be returning.

 

Unless they figure Salome has to be playing everyday in AAA next year, there's no reason Corporan should ever leapfrog Salome onto the Brewers' active roster for the long term. Corporan's hitting .171 in AAA, which is only 118 points lower than Angel.

[SeriesFinale]

Yeah, I didn't get that line of thinking either, unless it was a service time issue which I am admittedly generally ignorant about.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Rivera and Salome split starts next year, and like crewcrazy said, at the least there's a better chance we see Salome in Milwaukee next month.

If Salome isn't ready for MLB, what do you do? Bump up Lucroy from AA to MLB? I've stated before I thought Carlos would be a nice one-year option to split time with Rivera or another veteran. I think this move means the Brewers are going to have Salome up in the bigs next year or...Kendall will be back. It could be good news...or bad news. Carlos isn't a bad catcher...he's actually pretty solid.

What we have learned from this is that Jesus doesn't save.......the baseball season, but maybe Narveson will.

[dadofandrew]

Corporan's equal is free talent, as every organization has a defensive catcher or two that can't hit. I can't believe he was on the 40 as long as he was.

[brewdude15]

He will finish his career as a Brewer with the highest batting average. (minimum 1 AB)

[yogallardo43]

Corporan's hit was off of Reds SS Paul Janish. I remember Fielder crushing a home run later that inning.

[Outlander]

Narveson has been pretty impressive since he got recalled. He has 1.35 ERA and .98 WHIP, a vast improvement over his initial run with the team earlier this year.
