Alvarez coming up per Roch.

[bpilktree]

I figured it would happen but it sounds like he may be joining the team in Texas. Pearce is playing well so not sure where he fist in.

Head scratcher. Not an obvious move to me.

[Three Run Homer]

Hopefully he's just here to be the fourth outfielder (perhaps at the expense of Urrutia). Pearce has earned the chance to be the regular LF for the rest of the season.

Alvarez likely offers more than Urrutia defensively at least.

I'm guessing he gets a shot at DH'ing some to begin with. It is a little bit of a head scratcher.

I just looked we face three lefties in the Rangers series so that gives us another righty.

Before Sept. callups. Urrutia down? Hamels and Perez (two LHP's) scheduled to start against us Games 1 and 2. Urrutia back up when rosters expand?

[Can_of_corn]

I just don't see why these moves can't wait until rosters expand.

Someone thinks we still have a playoff possibility.

He has to be added by the 31st to be on the playoff roster lol

Facing three lefties in Texas.

[davidhusker]

Do we lose an entire year of options with him for doing this 4 days early??

Yeah we are a bit lefty heavy right now. I expect Rondon to go down and Alvarez added to the roster on Friday. I am not sure what happens with Clevenger. I also wonder if the wrist issue with Parra could be a bit worse then we know.

No he is never been optioned or for that matter put on the 40 man roster.

All the more reason to not give Alverez at bats.

Maybe they have seem enough with Urrutia?
