An Addition from Norfolk Tomorrow. A DL

[weams]

Worried that it may be Lough, when the word seems to be that Hardy will be in the line-up tomorrow. I was curious as to why Lough wasn't in the line-up today versus a righty. I realize that Young had good career numbers against Nova, and obviously that worked out well for Delmon and the O's today. But still, I though it was a tad odd.

Guess we just have to hurry up and wait.

Weeks plays some outfield.

Probably Lough, I'd of thought they'd of taken out Cruz or Jones the final inning

I'm worried it's Chen and Weeks is just up here until we need another SP or BP arm.

[Lester Freamon]

Definitely Weeks says Britt.

Gotta be Lough. I just hope it's not serious, I love when he's out there patrolling LF. Maybe the neck/concussion issue he had during the spring had cropped back up?

Jemile Weeks is coming up

[Lester Freamon]

Good guess. I'm thinking you're correct.

We'll see. For the record, RZNJ first mentioned it in the thread, but I was thinking along the same lines, especially, as has also been mentioned, when he didn't enter the game as a defensive replacement in the blow out.

According to MASNROCKKKK!

Weeks plays some outfield.

Buck would settle for a defensive platoon of Weeks and Cruz? Even for a short time? Don't we have a better OFer?

When I started seeing speculation that it may be Hardy or :gasp: Davis, Lough doesn't sound as bad.

Weeks played center field.

[Slade-OH]

Flaherty could play some defensive LF perhaps.

Lombardozzi had some starts in left for the Nats last year so he could be an option too

[scOtt]

Weeks played center field.

Ok. Didn't know that.

Sounds more and more like Lough then. Glad DD is the depth-master.

[scOtt]

4 second basemen on the roster! Lol

And 3 catchers.

My guess, and yours is just as good as mine, is no. Cruz will play LF and Delmon will DH. Pearce, with his ability to play corner OF and 1B, IMO, keeps him on the bench for in game emergencies and pinch hit match-up with lefties. Especially late in a game where Flaherty is up facing a lefty reliever. Now we have Weeks to come in to replace Flaherty.
