Albadejo will go back to the minors to start over. Outside of that Cox and Melancorn are the 2 relievers to keep an eye on in addition to the kid they are fast tracking and no one mentions that is now at AAA and kicking, Robertson.

He could have been DHing this whole time. Swinging was, apparently, not making the injury any worse. Gonzo probably goes down for Betemit (the latter played SS and 2B in his last two rehab games), and there's talk of swapping Lane in for Ensberg. They don't need another reliever. As it is, Hawkins and Ollie aren't getting a lot of work, though that might be because Joe's decided that Ollie's his garbage-time guy. If you want to talk about sending Ollie down to work on the splitter and refocus on a late-innings type role, that sounds fine to me. Wright is getting a shoulder MRI this week :-/ The whole point of DLing posada was so that he could come back as a catcher. He could have been DHing this whole time.

Or will he DH for a bit. I'd hate to lose Matsui's bat right now, but I'm not sure I want him in left either. Looks like the Ensberg experience is over. I assume they're going to wait until Po has proven that his shoulder is OK before cutting Moeller again. Assuming Ensberg goes to make room for Po and all goes well and they DFA Moeller after a few weeks, does that mean Betemit is coming back? If so then they should consider sending the Attorney General down so he can get regular playing time and some at bats, he hasn't hit a lick lately and could use the seasoning. Which leaves a roster spot open for another reliever. Albaladejo? He'd be eligible to come off the DL, but I haven't heard anything about him since the injury... hopefully he hasn't had to make the trek to Birmingham. Wright? Seems to be pitching pretty well with the Thunder. (2.53 ERA, 5:3 k9/bb9) Lefty. Could he be pushed? Patterson? He's been dealing (apart from last game) Probably best candidate Britton? Just to be mean do they bring him up and then never pitch him? Is Po going to come back and catch right away? Or will he DH for a bit.
