Interesting, to say the least. The guy's been raking in AAA, but I can't think of anyone who they'd demote with Linebrink being gone for the NYM series. Would they demote Parra and go with 11 pitchers for the rest of the series?

[hart attack 2006]

This is baffling...I was expecting a fresh arm, possibly sending down Yo for a few days and then recalling for his next start

[jlau20]

Very interesting, can't wait to see the demotion to compliment the promotion.

[brewers255]

Wasnt Fielder hurting? Dillion played 1B in the minors I believe.

[CportBadger]

Is it Parra going down? I hope not but it is the only thing I can think of.

[Roscoe Chill]

They're not going to send a pitcher down...I think Weeks.

[Mr QL]

Rickie maybe?

[brewers255]

Fielder was in obvious pain when he was running down the line in the 12th I believe.

I feel like it'll be Weeks also. Get him some AB's and try to work things out at AAA everyday instea dof playing every once and a while.

[jlau20]

Rickie would be something alright, something to talk about.

 

I highly doubt it would be a pitcher right now considering what happened tonight. But we'll see I suppose.

[bobskube]

I hope this is not for Prince, but I can't imagine it being a pitcher at this moment.

 

I have a bad feeling about this one. I hope it is rickie even though I love him...he needs the work. However, I think it is a Prince issue because I believe they would have done it before the game.

[bobskube]

It also could be for Linebrink if he got approved for bereavement for the complications that his wife had with his child.

[Nader Raider Tim]

Congrats to Joe Dillon. After looking at his numbers he has earned his way onto the roster, even if it is only for a few days / weeks.

[Oldcity]

I'm hoping this isn't for Prince. He looked like he was hurting.

[Mr QL]

Prince looked mighty fine the rest of his ABs.

[dadofandrew]

Neither Gwynn nor Gross could come back unless someone was DL'd.

 

They may wait to see if they get Linebrink's exception or not before announcing a move tomorrow.

[BillScottCanRake]

Gross was optioned to Nashville on the 21st. Couldn't they have recalled Gross (had they wanted to), since it will have been 10 days since he was optioned?

[dadofandrew]

I think BSCR is correct...especially since it's now 8/1.

[whizkid]

Prince looked mighty fine the rest of his ABs.

 

He's was dangling his arm and grimacing running to first after his single in the 12th. Maybe they just want Dillon in Milwaukee just in case. They did that with Dickey last week but never activated him.

[brewers255]

Can I have a link to Joe Dillion's stats? Thanks.

[pg44]

great. a 4A player. that'll put us over the top. that and another half dozen relievers, so yost can make twice as many pitching changes.

According to milwaukeebrewers.com, Linebrink was approved for bereavement. That appears to be the corresponding move.

How can you criticize a move, when you don't know the other half of it?
