Vilade DFA'd, Roycroft demoted, Granillo and Siani called up

Post by 3dender »

Granillo should be a positive addition to the BP.

Thank god the Vilade era is over.

About time. Granillo may not turn out to be great but he certainly earned his chance to pitch instead of the scrubs they have been calling up

Good Vilade is gone along with Roycroft. Clearly Vilade will never be seen again. JW on rehab is very good news. Hopefully he only needs a game or two down there...
Yes Granillo gets a shot. If he has a pulse he is better than Roycroft. Siani... meh.... Scott is starting to hit a little again.

I'm actually glad to see Siani. Gives time to sit Scott a spell and at least not lose much in speed or defense. It's clear our guys are getting worn down.

I can see them using Sianni as a late inning replacement for defense until Walker gets back. Let’s hope he not in the starting lineup much if at all.

The Brewers demoted Aaron Civale (and his 5.53 FIP) to the pen, and he requested a trade. What a hoe (donkey) and a half (donkey). Maybe some nice turbulent drama for them headed into the series, to be 3 games above .500 and have a pitcher who is not the team player Steven Matz is.

The single plus side of a Siani is that
he is a player that gets pinch hit for and not a
player that pinch hits for anyone. He's a bench player
and used as one. Hopefully.

Today I'd:

DFA - Roycrap & Vilade

Both are useless, NOT "runway players" and NOT ML caliber players.

Granillo, Matz, should take some CL opportunities since the current CL is struggling along with not being
a guy that goes multiple days.

About a week too late, but, better late then never. Granillo must have been wandering if he accidentally slept with Mo's wife, or something, jeez!
