Folty optioned, D. Castro recalled

[yeezus]

Is this just a temp. move?
Dennis Castro is Fidel's brother, by the way.

We're really letting the kids develop....lol

[Julio3000]

Great, could he play tonight instead of Ciriaco?

Viva La Revolucion!

I like both sides of this move, though I'm concerned what it might mean for Simmons' health.

I don't see this move hindering Foltynewicz's development. He logged 6 weeks in the bigs as an SP and now he and the coaching staff have a more clear idea on what he needs to work on. This could have some very positive service time implications too depending on how long he stays down.

Let the rotation speculation begin. Banuelos? Alex White?

Is Stults available

Maybe we're waiting for Cahill to clear waivers so we can re-sign him. Hey, he'd only be making the league minimum . . . great value.

[Garmel]

I can't find this anywhere.

[Garmel]

Never mind. I just found it.

So, Sugar Ray is still with the team?

Who is the 5th starter that will work Friday night vs. the Mets?

Don't worry. I got this.

[Garmel]

Please tell me someone else is coming up from Gwinnett in two days to pitch and not Sugar Ray.

Yet when I mentioned the idea a few days ago, I got lambasted for it.

Oh well.

[depley]

I have to say that some of the moves being made these days are confounding at the least.

[gilesfan]

I hope the OP meant Daniel Castro was recalled. We are due for something good out of Mexico.

Really? Big words clv?

He was not on the 40 man roster, so who was dropped off it?

[gilesfan]

Thought we were at 39....

[cajunrevenge]

Williams Perez will just pitch 2 times. Maybe even pick up another save between the 2 starts too.

Sugar Ray gets to be on the big club for two more days and then gets sent down. That's pretty straightforward. Who replaces Folty in the rotation? Hard to tell, is anyone at Gwinnett ready?

[depley]

saw this on twitter, someone wondering if Folty is being sent down to work as a closer, with the idea that Grilli gets trade by the deadline, interesting thought....
