Emma is on a rehab assignment down at Fort Myers.

Zoll did say it was going to be a lengthy rehab though, so I am not sure we will see him this year.

Right. Wallner is better. Culpepper is, but I get that one. Heck, just call up Emma......he's "healthy" for a few days. 

Gonzalez is on the 40 man and he’s right handed. I’d rather see him than Gray.

I hope part of the rehab assignment is someone texting him every morning “don’t be a dummy sliding head first into 1B”

If there was any doubt about the influence of the analytics staff on this organization, I think this move can put those doubts to rest.

Why would it be lengthy? He's out of options. Get him up here.

Buxton's got some time on his hands, maybe send him down there to have a chat with Emma.

Jeremy Zoll told reporters yesterday to expect a lengthy stay in

@MightyMussels

from Emmanuel Rodriguez as he needs to get back up to game speed.

I'm probably a cult of one, and I'm fine with it, but I really wouldn't mind if Buxton waived his no trade and they shipped him to Atl/somewhere. I've seen this dance way too many times.

And just think he was probably days away from getting the call before he slid head first.

PS - seeing reports ol' friend Tristan Gray left the Saints game early. Hmm, roster move incoming? Buck gonna heal up for a September playoff push? 

Yes and no. At least 15 days anyway. 

[Church of Kreidler]

I swear to Kreidler, if I see Gray's name anywhere close to SS spot...

Too late this year. He’ll be on the IL thru the deadline. I get your point of view it’s incredibly frustrating he can’t stay healthy. That hip is going to be a problem the rest of his career I fear. 

[mrmpls]

We lose a  r.h. outfielder and call up a  l.h. infielder who cant hit,  has anyone explained how this move makes us a better team ?  What are the front  office and Shelton scared of ?, to bad about Byron  ill be surprised if he is back b4 labor day if at all,   sure know how to damper any hopes for the fans of staying competitive  by calling up Tristan Gray ,  Royce this is now your Team to lead show us what ya got  - Tell Shelton to leave you at 1b

It is and has been a problem for some time now.

[Vanimal46]

The question on everyone’s mind tonight… Which version of Joe Ryan are we gonna see? I hope it’s the slightly pissed off, rested version instead of the beach ball thrower from his last game 

[Vanimal46]

I just saw a commercial for Super Troopers 3. The movie literally no one asked for. 

[stringer bell]

I'm not a big Gray fan either, but they have been short an infielder since Gray was optioned and Buxton was activated. I'd probably rather see one of the other St. Paul guys who plays infield, but I don't know if they want to start the clock on Culpepper who is just coming off a fairly long IL stint himself.

I think Gray will get some starts at shortstop and it will bother me because he's no better there than Brooks Lee. Just a note, neither Jenkins or Culpepper (or Gonzalez or Mendez) are really setting AAA on fire. The Saints have a team OPS of .834, Jenkins OPS is .880 and Culpepper is .841, Mendez is .844 and Gonzalez is .729. Guys like Wallner and Fedko have far better numbers and we've seen what they have done against major league pitching.

Let's go .503!

WTF Im getting blacked out on DirecTV again tonight.

We always quote stats and I get that to some degree.  But then what is the magic number that they are supposed to be at to be called up.

From some of the reports I have seen about Jenkins, many are saying he is ready.  He may not hit for a lot of home runs initially but should have doubles power.   His approach at the plate should translate at this level as well.  You need a shot in the arm with Buxton going down, why not call up your top prospect when he is this close.  You don't say one day we are in buy mode, then bring Gray up the next day.

As for infielders, they love moving people around and both Martin and Keaschall can play the infield as well.

You might miss Gray as a defensive replacement, we will have to send you screen shots.
