Per Brian Carriveau. The corresponding move hasn't been announced; if Marco Estrada is called up, the Brewers will also need to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, which could be accomplished by moving someone currently on the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL.

hmm...no 40 man spot cleared yet. Not sure any will be candidates for 60-day DL. If it were up to me, I'd release Kotsay and demote Gomez to 4th OF (5th when Hart returns). I wouldn't have felt it important to send Kintzler down. Kotsay just hasn't shown much at all.

Parra and Hart are both outside candidates for the 60-day DL, though I hope neither end up there. My guess is Parra to the 60-day or a Maldonado DFA.

 

Edit: I also suppose, again an outside shot, that the Brewers could activate Lucroy and DFA Kottaras.

Toby, I think the most likely candidate for the 60-day DL would be Hawkins since he is still rebuilding his arm. But at the same time, I still believe nobody will go on the 60-day DL

Anyone considered that we might be throwing everyone off and recalling someone other than Estrada? I doubt it would happen, but never know.

Ah, so that's why Arnett wasn't placed on a minor league full season roster

I knew that happened for a reason. Why didn't I think of that sooner?

It is a smart move by the Brewers to wait until the last minute to announce their starter, so the Braves don't have much time to prepare. Although, there's only so much you can do to hide it. The Braves could've waited to announce Mike Minor as their starter for tomorrow, but everyone knew it would be him anyway.

But then they wouldn't need to send down Kintzler. So its either a DL move or DFA Moldonado or perhaps James. Am i the only one hoping of those options its DFAing James?

Yeah, I really don't wanna see Maldonado get DFA'd. We really need him in AAA for catching depth. I have no idea what they are planning on doing at this point. I still don't get their thinking with this move. Our bullpen is fully rested with Gallardo pitching a complete game, and Mitre is capable of going at least 4 innings. I would've just went with Mitre.

Wily Peralta anyone? Wouldn't mind having a young stud throwing 93-95 with electric breaking stuff following Gallardo. Hopefully Dougie gives him the call.

I would think Maldanado clears waivers easily especially this time of year when most teams rosters are full. He also can't refuse an assignment so I think the chances of losing him are slim.

 

Any chance Kintzler had of staying around (and he really had very little) were eliminated with his shaky outing Sunday. He made the team as the designated "option out" guy.

No one seems to be talking about it, but with Yo pitching the full 9 innings, they could call up Peralta and cover him with the BP if he falters. But I can only see that happening if they feel "trapped" by the 40-man roster right now.

"Rock, sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Uecker. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock but I'll know about it; and I'll be happy."
