He is the one who backed off the promotion to the majors when the rehab expired. He said that he wasn't ready. That was very concerning to me. Bobby V also has been saying that he is not ready. Maybe it will be Germano. He's earned the shot. I saw him in ST. He looked good.
I'm off the hook for beer as of June 1st I thought. I'll still buy you a beer out of friendly camaraderie. BTW, how funny is it that I have tickets to Saturday's game for his first start if that is the way they are going. I hope it goes better than my last game which was Cook's first start. I left after 5 innings and went to Remy's to get a good seat to watch the Derby.
They should have sent him down a couple of days ago if they weren't going to play him. After the weekend series, they play 6 straight games in NL ballparks. He will be the odd man out of that rotation, because AGon needs to go to the OF so Ortiz can play first base. Youk's will be playing 3rd. WMB should be getting ABs in Pawtucket and returning immediately after the interleague crap is over.
So now the OFers are Pods, Byrd, Nava, Sweeney and DMac. What a bucket of piss! Why do we need 5 OFers? When Agon is out there, 3 of them will be on the bench. I don't get it.
