Haha, I guess he means business now that he's ready to go.

[Gobias Industries]

Good for Greinke. Hopefully he passes the razor to Weeks so he can do the same.

[PrinceEatMeat]

No, Rickie must keep the dreads.

[ilovebeer]

Morgan will be activated from the dl on Tuesday per Tom H.

Morgan will be activated from the dl on Tuesday per Tom H.

And that's about the same time Gomez will hit the bench.

Didn't we say the same thing about the 2-hole?

 

If Gomez plays against righties over Plush, there will be a mutiny on this board. Mark my words.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, after Morgan went down, I figured Gomez would stay in the 2 hole until Hart was comfortable at the plate. That hasn't happened yet. Morgan would've taken starts away from Gomez already if he wasn't hurt, I'm pretty positive about that.

[Baldkin]

Morgan wasn't taking starts away from Kotsay or Almonte, let alone Gomez before he got hurt.

 

Sigh.

[djoctagone]

mark rogers is injured . . . bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, which prevents him from feeling his grip on the baseball.

TH with an update. Sounds like Boggs is going down for Morgan, which is dumb. We are keeping 13 pitchers for some reason. Also, Estrada is likely going down for Greinke. I would guess we're waiting until Almonte returns to go back to a 12-man staff then. Stupid to keep an 8-man bullpen and to keep Almonte. And as was just said, Rogers is hurt again. Apparently caused by a virus.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I understand sending Estrada down. NEED to keep him stretched out in the event that Narveson doesn't get his stuff together, or a SP gets hurt.

 

Sending Boggs down for Morgan is fine, keeping Kotsay is fine, but if they bring back Almonte instead of Boggs when they go back to 12 pitchers.......then that'll be a head scratcher.

[1992casey]

I'd submit that keeping Kotsay isn't all that fine. Rather, it's more of a given.

Yeah, my statement was probably more like "Keeping Kotsay is fine *sigh*"........

[TooLiveBrew]

Kotsay's staying on the roster? Almonte might, too?

TH on Twitter just now;

 

Brewers reinstate OF Nyjer Morgan from 15-day DL. To create roster space, LHP Zack Braddock goes on DL with sleep disorder.

[logan82]

I don't even know what you can say at this point. Ever since the Greinke trade almost all the moves, injuries and decisions are just bizarre.

 

3 oblique strains, cracked rib from basketball, a bruise that takes 2 weeks to heal, and now a sleep disorder.

[1992casey]

I've started a new thread with pretendastronaut's information:

 

Morgan activated; Braddock to 15 day DL with sleep disorder

 

That way, this topic can continue to concentrate on injuries.

don't forget the scorpion sting.

[trwi7]

Parra has a UCL sprain a tear of that ligament means Tommy John surgery and also a strained flexor tendon.

[Funketown]

Ouch. Sounds like it could be quite a while before we see Manny. Any idea on the likelihood that he'll need Tommy John?

[1992casey]

trwi7 states that a tear would require Tommy John. At this point, there's no indication of a tear.

[Funketown]

I guess I have an irrational fear of "sprains" becoming "tears". Either way, here's to hoping he's back sooner than expected.

[TooLiveBrew]

A sprain of a ligament *is* a tear. Just not a full tear.

[JohnBriggs12]

Ouch. Sounds like it could be quite a while before we see Manny. Any idea on the likelihood that he'll need Tommy John?

Quite a while in his case means never. At best he was the 12th-13th man. He won't be offered arbitration next winter. Will they do with Parra what they did with Capuano and keep bringing him back on minor league deals? I seriously doubt that. Capuano at least had a record of some success.

[brewmann04]

Well it sounds like a possible 60 day DL and would that free up a spot on the 40 man Roster?
