Ozzie Albies has been called up from Triple-A Gwinnett. He'll be present for tonight's game against the Dodgers
What position is he going to play? I would presume Philips is going to play everyday he's healthy, so that leaves SS and 3B. Why would we call Albies up to play out of position?
sometimes man I just have no clue what our FO is doing......
I thought we partially held onto Phillips because we wanted to keep Albies down and Phillips was playing fine, if the idea was to call up Albies right after the deadline we should have traded Phillips for something / ANYTHING. Why not let Carmago get a couple more weeks of full ABs just to make sure we know what we have with him and also let Swanson / Albies get some more time playing together.
There's so many player acquisition moves our FO makes that I really love, but the way they promote and yo-yo prospects is dubious at best.
I'm really starting to think something has happened -- either ownership wants to see more wins or this front office is panicking and trying to maintain a positive image with the casual fan. I thought us flirting with .500 would be enough for the latter of those two, but I guess they feel like they need to rush this thing along some more.
