Switzer sent out
Posted Jul 17, 2007 by Marc Lancaster

Following the game, the Rays optioned LHP Jon Switzer to Durham. That cleared a spot to activate Al Reyes from the disabled list tomorrow. Switzer originally replaced Reyes on the roster two weeks ago. He appeared in three games, allowing five runs in 1 2/3 innings.
The Rays are still carrying an extra position player, with no fifth starter on the roster. They’ll have to make at least one move to get J.P. Howell back for Saturday’s doubleheader and possibly another starter as well.

Switzer goes down and Fossum stays? I’m sorry but Andrew Friedman obviously doesn’t know how to construct a bullpen. To quote Rob Neyer recently, “whoever’s in charge of putting their bullpen together probably should be asked to find a more suitable line of work”.

Just curious who you think the other starter will be in Saturday’s double header? Hammel? Niemann?

HOPE IT IS OK TO GIVE YOU A SENARIO OF EVAN LONGORIA THE 21 YR OLD 3RD BASEMEN
Suggest removalIN THE RAYS [AA]. [1]-THEY CAN MOVE AKI
OVER TO 2B. [2]-BRING HIM UP TO DH AND FILL IN AT 3RD, PLUS HAVE HIM PLAY SOME AS A BACKUP TO PENA AT 1ST… LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY PLACE FOR HIM IS THE [DH] BUT WE NEED HIS BAT .. HE NOW HAS A .300+ BA, 18 HRS AND 60+ RBI. I AM TALKING ABOUT 2008 !!! ALSO WE MIGHT BRING UPTON BACK TO 2B IF ROCCO IS OK FOR CENTERFIELD. HOT LINEUP !!!

Jim, I would guess either Hammel or Jae Kuk Ryu gets the call in the other game…
