When do you bring up someone from Norfolk?

I know it's way too early, but there are some hitters and pitchers making early impressions at Norfolk. At one point do you admit you made the wrong choice out of spring training and bring them up? Reimold & Urrutia if they keep hitting would we see them before May 1?

Reimold isn't hitting. Urrutia and Parmelee look good. Hitting isn't the problem at the ML level. What wrong decisions were made? Who do you want replaced?[/quote

"Wrong" probably wasn't the right word- I keep forgetting Paredes is hurt, and Lough who just came back. But I keep wondering why it's so hard to replace Lough and Flaherty.

Who would they be replacing?

Wright for Hunter/O'Day. Both have been horrible.

So. You are releasing two of last year's two ten relievers in the AL? Cool! And stop the smirk all the time. Do you think it is sly?

Baring injuries, I wouldn't expect any promotions from Rochester until late May at the earliest. It takes that long to get a sense of who is just in a slump and who is likely to continue struggling.

Two players to definitely keep an eye on our Reimold and S.Johnson. However, this team just flat out has zero flexibility. I don't think we're going to give up on Garcia so soon. But I could definitely see us playing the DFA game with the spot Lough currently occupies. Right now we're scoring enough runs to win. The 4 man bench is great to have. But until the rotation and our set up guys get back on track it might be useful to have an extra arm. And that's even already having Gausman too. Basically we need to find a set up man to get on a roll in front of Britton. Johnson and Wright could be perfect for it.

I hope no one comes from Rochester. I doubt Buck and Dan would be that familiar with them.

Its probably going to take injuries to O's players to get players up for Norfolk this year.

Wow that is an epic brainfart hah.

That could be perfect for it but they would probably need at least two or three months in the majors before they would slide into that role. Perhaps not even this year.

Reimold has an early May opt out. He either goes up or opts out. Could replace an ineffective Snider or Pearce.

The opt out is in July. And it isn't truly an opt out. It is an email sent to all GMs asking if they want him on the major league roster.

I guess I was daydreaming about the years when our AAA prospects would be named MiL player of the year and still be sent back to repeat AAA because the major league team was so loaded.

That actually HAPPENED?
