Gwynn to DL, Iribarren called up

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Retroactive to April 4, Iribarren will wear #26.

 

Gallardo will rejoin club in NY, but remain on DL.

[SeriesFinale]

Holy smokes

 

I guess retroactive to April 4 isn't as bad, but I guess I thought Yo might take his place

[rluzinski]

Man, Melvin is the king of retroactive DL moves.

This stinks for Gwynn, who was making the most of his shot, but congrats to Hernan!

[Team Canada]

Interesting, especially after today's pregame interview where he said he thought he'd be back in the next day or 2. Congrats Hurricane!

[trwi7]

I can't find a link on this anywhere. Where did you hear it?

[wOOgiE22]

It was on the Brewers postgame show on FSN.

[PrimeTime955]

The Hurricane has always been one of my favorites to follow throught the minor. Congrats Hernan make the most out of it!!

[DHonks]

I do believe hurricane season begins soon!

[Ennder]

This move makes absolutely no sense to me.

[sbrylski]

This move makes absolutely no sense to me.

I'll translate:

111000111

110010101

011011101

 

Does that make sense?

 

Bwa, ha, ha, ha!

 

 

EDIT: Of course that's in jest, I'm obviously a seamhead too. The move doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either.

[1992casey]

I think it's a temporary thing that avoids fiddling with the 40-man roster.

[DHarris34Phan]

They didn't retire Damian Miller's number?

[BuckyTuba]

rickie is due for a day off anyways, give the hurricane a shot!

[sbrylski]

rickie is due for a day off anyways, give the hurricane a shot!

I think he's permanently OF now. Would they play him at 2B?

 

[DHonks]

can the uniform number be Cat 4?

[JoeHova]

Wow, I'm surprised by this move. Like some other people, I thought Gwynn's spot would be used to get Gallardo back while allowing them a bit more time to decide which pitcher to get rid of.

 

I like the move though. A 3 man bench (not counting Rivera) would not really be adequate for a long stretch of time. Plus, I always like to see guys make their MLB debut, especially ones that we've all been following for a few years. Hopefully Hernan will have some success.

[billyhallfan]

yes, i love hernan, i hope he does well in his short stint...

[JohnBriggs12]

I hope Iribarren can play CF better than Gross. The move makes sense to me. Why play with 24 guys? Iribarren's on the 40 man already. As for making room for Gallardo, after his sterling outing last night, is there any question that McClung will be gone shortly?

[lukevan]

Good luck in the bigs Air-Non!

 

I'm excited that Gabe Gross gets to play baseball again for a little while.

[Klements Bratwurst]

I don't think Hernan can play Centerfield better than Gross at this point, due to the fact that he is making a Billy Hall'esqe position change. However, I must say that Gross is NOT a very good centerfielder at all, so it won't take much for him to at least match Gabe's defensive non production.

 

I think Hernan is just up to be that pinch hitter/speed guy for the next week. I can't see him starting out there for 2-3 games. I think it will just be the "Gabe" show in center for the mean time.

 

Is it April 29th yet? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

 

 

[MickeyDavis]

By Yo joining the team in NY it appears as if they will be skipping his last rehab start. His next scheduled day to pitch is Monday, which just happens to be Bush's spot.

[tosabrewfan]

If you watched Gabe Gross "play" center last night and still don't understand this move, you aren't paying attention.

[Invader3K]

So what is Gwynn's "injury?"
