Carroll is back and Stewart is here. How much will Stewart play? 

Probably enough if the brought him to the club. I doubt they sit him.

Jones has to play sometime.....

Last homestand.  They had let him know when he turned down the trade. My presumption.

As long as he plays at home I don't think it matters.

Not many folks watching real close.

Plenty of people are angry.  Read the comments on the MASN blogs.  I see no reason to make angry the few fans they have left.  And there were Oriole fans at the games in Tampa.

Not a big fan of Stewart.  Don't understand why he's a prospect, other than draft status.  

Honestly, would rather see Jones in his swan song here.  Stewart hasn't done well for awhile, he'll have plenty of time to get at bats next year.

I’ll be surprised if Jones doesn’t start the vast majority of the remaining home games.

He does a lot of things pretty well.

Some power, some speed, good glove in left, can get on base.

Hopefully he will be overshadowed by those coming up behind him but I'd rather see him in left than Mancini.

Yes because Mancini belongs at 1st. Sit Davis or DH him for the remainder of the season.

I think Buck will manage the series vs contenders (Oakland, Yankees, and Houston if they haven't clinched by then) more than the meaningless games (White Sox, Blue Jays, and assuming Red Sox will have clinched #1 across the board by the time we play them).

He'll use proven ML guys like Jones, Rickard (I know, don't laugh) vs the contenders and the Andreoli's and Stewarts and Ortiz will go in the meaningless games.

Yeah, I'd be fine sitting Jones for a prospect, but I'd question calling Stewart a prospect at this point.

Surprised that Stewart was called up.  He didn't earn it.  Fell apart the last two months.  2i2/283/342/625 after the All-Star break.  If he sits that is fine with me.

The Stewart call up is surprising to me. He didn't have a good second half and wasn't exactly forcing his way up.

Also confused as to why they put Susac back on the 40. He's not going to come back. 

[Can_of_corn]

I know folks have been against Stewart since he was drafted but this is just silly.

He needs to be put on the 40 during the offseason anyway.  There is no harm in promoting him during this lost season.  To hear you all talk you would think they were promoting Billy Rowell from A ball.

My guess is they are trying to avoid a grievance  by reinstating Susac.

A grievance on what grounds?

If he sits then why bring him up?
