Will Torrens start today given his SSS success versus Mclanahan?

I still think he gets DFA’d after the game. 

McCann is batting 1.000 against him! I am just completely befuddled by the Torrens move but curious to see how it plays out before second guessing it.

Joey Krehbiel cleared waivers yesterday, so he’s still in the organization.  He’s currently sporting a 2.00 ERA but has walked 7 batters in 9 innings of work.  I suspect there will come a time this year when we need a fresh arm and he gets called up, so I’m glad he wasn’t claimed.

Not surprising, but Torrens was DFA'd today. With Vavra back as our emergency catcher, we definitely do not need Torrens taking up a 26-man roster spot.

I’m glad we kept Khreibel. He’s the Spenser Watkins of RP. He won’t kill you if you have to go to him.
