Waters and Montanez

Roch has_two_rather_significant_items_of_note.

First, I heard this just a second ago during the game as well. Mark Viviano, the Amber sub, reported that he heard from a stadium worker (I would have said ‘inside source’ it sounds better. It sounds like he heard it from one of the beer vendors) that Chris Waters is in Anahiem and at the team hotel. This meaning that he will get the start tomorrow.

Secondly, there’s no news about Adam Jones CT scan yet but apparently a stint on the DL is resulting from it. It stinks that Jones has to go on the DL, but there’s no point in making him play center on a bum ankle. Lou Montanez has been pulled from Bowie’s game tonight and apparently heading to Anahiem.

It’s an interesting call up. A case could be made for Nolan Reimold, but you can’t argue with Montanez’s numbers. Reimold is a pure prospect and some more time in the minors won’t kill him. With Montanez, he’s a guy who’s been in the minors for his entire career. A call up might help MacPhail and company see if this season is merely lightning in a bottle for him or if he’s found his game a little later in his career. It’ll be interesting to see. I like the call up. Reimold will get his day soon enough.

Roch says that the move will involve Brandon Fahey being sent down. No need for Fahey, Castro, and Cintron. As much of a scowl that I gave the Castro pickup, he’s done decent. He is what he is at this point.
