I’ve been told that Gilbert’s stay will be just a few days. Byron Kerr has also passed along word in his latest column that LHP Sammy Solis has been experiencing elbow inflammation, so it might be another turn or two before he’s back on the mound.
UPDATE
A few more moves today, August 10, in red.
We sent Miguel Perez to Pittsburgh for a PTBNL earlier this season. I never saw that we received that player. And now we’ve received Perez in a trade … and I can’t help but wonder if we traded Perez for Perez.
Boy, this Perez deal is a head scratcher. We’re probably in better shape with catchers than 25-28 organizations, so you have to figure this was a loan or he has injury problems. Poor Brian Peacock, I hope their training him to be a coach or something, I’m sure they’re paying him squat.
Mark, you & Springfield are all over this one already. I know PIT was having a depth crisis at CA earlier this year, but Springfield may be onto something – we possibly re-acquired Perez as the PTBNL off the 06/27/11 trade to Indianapolis.
FWIW, this happens all the time in the indys.
That’s why I only track the majors & their affiliates. Tracking the indy & foreign leagues would make my head both hurt and possibly spin off my shoulders.
Hmm, with Graham being activated, the corresponding move might be Weaver to the DL. He hasn’t pitched since Aug 1st, and been less than overwhelming in his nine appearances with HAG.
