April 20, 200421 yr Just heard on the Score that Valentin was placed on the DL retroactive to 4/20. Kelly Dransfeldt was called up yesterday and will be with the club today.
April 20, 200421 yr As insurance. I assume we'll see Uribe and Harris up the middle. I wonder if Oz automatically gives players back their starting spot after being on the DL?
April 20, 200421 yr And the Kelly Dransfeldt era begins, for 15 days anyway. He can spell Crede at 3B too. I'm anxious to see him get some playing time, I hear he's a hard nosed scrappy type.

I am certain Ozzie will find a spot or two for him to play. I just hope his hitting doesn't get rusty facing Koch in practice
April 20, 200421 yr this guy's never hit at any level, but he was probably called up over Burke cuz he can play more infield positions. We also have Bobby Smith in Charlotte, he spent several years in Tampa until recently
April 20, 200421 yr As insurance. I assume we'll see Uribe and Harris up the middle. I wonder if Oz automatically gives players back their starting spot after being on the DL? YES! Yes, he will. Jose is the SS and Uribe is best suited as the all purpose in-field reserve player. We should all be happy we have Jose Valentin on the team.
April 20, 200421 yr YES! Yes, he will. Jose is the SS and Uribe is best suited as the all purpose in-field reserve player. We should all be happy we have Jose Valentin on the team. :headshake
April 20, 200421 yr Does anyone think that Bryant Nelson should have been considered for the call-up? Or does he only play second base?
April 20, 200421 yr I think we will be ok without Valentin. Uribe has been good so far so he deserves some playing time.
April 20, 200421 yr No surprise there. I miss the Magical Mystery Tour already no surprise because you called it earlier today, yes? I hope Jose has a good recovery knowing how that aggravated him before I can't call him StJosE6 until he comes back... So sending good healing thoughts Jose's way...
April 20, 200421 yr Does anyone think that Bryant Nelson should have been considered for the call-up? Or does he only play second base? this is not a hostile question but one for me to learn: why would we call him up?
April 20, 200421 yr this is not a hsotile question but one for me to learn: why would we call him up? He has the second highest average on the team in Charlotte next to Jeremy Reed and is an infielder
April 20, 200421 yr He has the second highest average on the team in Charlotte next to Jeremy Reed and is an infielder thank you sounds like good reasons to me! I don't follow the minors that closely so I didn't know that thanks again

I hope Jose has a good recovery knowing how that aggravated him before I can't call him StJosE6 until he comes back... So sending good healing thoughts Jose's way... I like the Fool on the Hill better, he reminds of some people I know. And really to me, I thought it was pretty obvious Dransfeldt was the only choice for a call up.
April 20, 200421 yr thank you sounds like good reasons to me! I don't follow the minors that closely so I didn't know that thanks again Welcome CW
April 20, 200421 yr Does anyone think that Bryant Nelson should have been considered for the call-up? Or does he only play second base? I'm thinking Dransfeldt can play more positions and he hit well at ST. He bat .419. I saw him in 4 at bats and 3 of them he got hits. He has a nice line drive swing, but didn't show much power. The next Mike Caruso?
April 21, 200421 yr Dransfeldt has never been much of a hitter. I don't expect much from him while he's here. I just hope Jose heals 100% and is not on the DL too long.
