Many roster moves coming.

Heck Casilla played 3 innings for the twins in 2011 in CF.

Casilla is the modern day Mora????:thumbsup1:

[Mayor McCheese]

Why do we need both Ishikawa and Dickerson? Let Ishikawa go to make room for Roberts. Then you could DH BRob against RHP. If Reimold had an option there's no way they'd bring him up over keeping Valencia. The only reason he'd be up if at all is because they want to take one final look. If they bring up Henry I see no reason why they wouldn't play him in LF against LHP.

Thats why Ishikawa will be the first to go. If Roberts is only doing a 3-4 game stint at AAA, Ishikawa should just start packing

[Art Wing]

Casilla has played 77 games at SS in the majors, 36 of those in 2011 for the Twins, 10 games at 3rd in the bigs.

Yes, I looked up the numbers before I posted. My question still remains though.

It doesn't make sense to send Flaherty down for Roberts if he has to stay there for 10 days. We'll need a replacement for Roberts before those 10 days are up.

If he is injured we could bring him right back up.

Zing!!!

If Roberts has to go on the DL, the 10 days doesn't apply.

[TheBee]

Pretty good. I especially like your use of Henry U.

It is interesting...that 1046 ops vs rhp at Bowie

[crissfan172]

FWIW, Reimold is 3-4 today. Perhaps knocking off some of those cobwebs.

I can't help but think of this scene when imagining another Roberts comeback.

Urrutia 2-4 with 2 RBI, too.

Hard to imagine we don't have something to look forward to from this kid...

[slakattack]

Will we be saying in October: "yeah, it really hurt missing the playoffs by 2 games, but at least BRob got to do a farewell tour of AL East parks"

Maybe, but it appears that the pitcher Richmond started today was throwing batting practice - 6 runs and 11 hits in just four innings. And before today, rusty or not, Nolan had 11K's in just 27 AB's against AA pitching. IMO, the Oriole's will have to see a lot more from him before calling him up. I believe they have a 30 day rehab period that started on June 18, so they have some time to make a decision. Right now, Reimold doesn't help the Orioles, and in fact, would be a negative factor in the lineup.

I do want to point out how nice it is to have choices of Dickerson, Reimold, Valencia, ishikawa, Pearce, Betemit, Casilla, Flaherty, and Roberts to round out the roster. Compare that to years past and you have to tip your cap to Duquette.

Yes, but a winning season makes us more attractive as well.

[Redskins Rick]

I agree Duquette has been able to make some moves and turn the roster into a winning team, instead of last place for umpteen years.

For those that was scared last year was just a fluke, the strong first half, should lay some fears to rest.
