Dmitri Young, who strained his quadriceps in last night's game has been placed on the 15 day disabled list (
Jason Beck's blog). Did anyone not see this coming? He was replaced on the roster by Alexis Gomez whose contract was purchased from Toledo. Since a spot was open on the 40 man roster, nobody else had to moved to complete the transaction. My guess is that Gomez will serve primarily as a back-up outfielder and that Marcus Thames and Omar Infante will get most of Young's at bats.
I won't miss Young either. I liked the Encarnacion for Young trade but they never should have signed Young to such a long contract.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting you say that Ozz because my father is a huge Cardinal fan and every time I talk to him he's complaining about Encarnacion. He can't say I didn't warn him.
