Parmalee was sent down for the same reason that Arcia was: Lack of production. As soon as they start crushing AAA pitching again, they'll be back. Meanwhile, Colabello could hardly be worse than these two.

I think the better question is, what took them so long to do this? The excuse I read in the paper is, they wanted Colabello to play in the AAA all-star game, an honor he richly deserved. Hmmm. Having watched one bad at-bat after another lately, I wish they had promoted Colabello sooner.

You bring up an important point about Duensing. The idea that he hasn't been effective against LH batters this year is an unfounded myth. I put a lot more stock into the excellent peripherals than the unsustainable .400 BABIP.

Parmelee should be sent down a while ago. Florimon has been doing all right lately. But he is not really impressing anyone. Escobar has not had much playing time. Actually I like Escobar better because he is younger. I think Escobar is going to take Carroll's job next year.

Colabello has a long swing. He's going to K relentlessly against MLB pitching. My guess is he's feasted on "work on it here" off-speed stuff offered up at AAA. TBD, but he didn't show much bat-speed his first go round this season w the Twins. Strictly filler until real talent rises for an extended stay.

It was a lapse in judgment.
