Those precious 40 man roster spots... meanwhile somebody is just uselessly taking up space on the 25-man roster.

 

Can we put Feldman on the 60 man DL to open up a spot?

 

Or Peacock, or Deduno

 

They are already on 60 day DL...

 

I guess I snoozed through those roster moves, then.

 

Based on your usual knowledgeable and appreciated posts, I thought someone may have hacked your account.

 

I've spent too much time reading the series threads.

 

Yep...and wondering when Carlos Delgado was going to get into the game.

 

Can we just start him at 1b? Let's see what he can do

 

Let him play first tonight. Jake in center, Marwin in left.

 

I think it's a good move. Let him bat 7th or 8th though until he proves he's's ready for more.

 

Feldman moved to 60 day DL.

To make room for Duffy on the 40-man roster, the #Astros have placed RHP Scott Feldman on the 60-day DL.

This got a good chuckle outta me lol :grin:

 

It will be interesting how Duffy's swing transitions to the MLB pitching.

We can all sit here and say, it can't get worse than Carter, but AAA mashers constantly take a few season's to catch up to the nasty combination of seasoned ML pitchers....

If Duffy can help, it will be awesome! As, it's been said by a few, Duffy was still going to have to be placed on the 40 man roster before the Rule 5 draft, might as well see what the Astros have in him now! He might surprise us a bit.

 

Duffy can never get a hit and strikeout in every plate appearance he has.... and it still won't be worse than Carter spending the entire year on the 25 man roster robbing the team of $4 million dollars.
