April 23, 200322 yr Well, some people got their wish. We now have a 12 man pitching staff as LHP Dave Sanders has been brought up.
April 23, 200322 yr That's the best thing for Paul, actually. At least as far as playing time goes, anyway. It would really stink to rot on the end of the bench. I don't know his contract status, so I can't say if it'll hurt him in the wallet or not.
April 24, 200322 yr Nice, its great to see he past through. Now we can send him up and down as many times as we want this season, correct?
April 24, 200322 yr Good point Rex , i think so also. Both AA and AAA rosters have to be trimmed from 24 to 23 by early May. Plus, a promotion or two from Birmingham to Charlotte and several guys on the DL that will need to come off.
April 24, 200322 yr Both AA and AAA rosters have to be trimmed from 24 to 23 by early May. Plus, a promotion or two from Birmingham to Charlotte and several guys on the DL that will need to come off. Ah, glad you explained that. I was thinking you had some insight on some moves with the ML roster.

April 24, 200322 yr I think we'll see Rowand get sent down or relegated to the bench with Harris or Borchard replacing him if he continues to play like crap for another week to week and a half.
April 24, 200322 yr Sanders didn't look too bad for his first time up. Didn't give up any runs and seemed to have pretty decent control of his pitches. Will be interesting to see what will be going on in the next few weeks, especially in CF.
April 24, 200322 yr let the games begin..............i cant wait to see the outcome of this one........we are so full in some positions and so lax in others its gonna be very interesting to see who stays and who goes where............

Will be interesting to see what will be going on in the next few weeks, especially in CF. i saw sanders pitch in ST..bigtime fan of his...it was only one inning but i was trying to compare his st uff t o kelly wunsch's because i figured he was battling kelly for the lefty spot...his stuff is much better than kelly's...doesnt mean he will be a better pitcher than kelly..but he has the tools to be..now its up to him...but i felt he should have gotten the last spot if we took 12 pitchers..be real interesting to see what happens when danny comes back
April 24, 200322 yr Bringing up another lefty in time for the Twins and A's is just a good move. JP will need to get some playing time or he will be totally useless to anyone, which is probably why no one claimed him of waivers. A couple of teams were poised to claim him at the end of ST, but his idle time has made him to big of a risk to put on someone's ML roster now.
