Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Matt Palmer up... Geno down... in another episode


of "The Daily Roster Shuffle" brought to you by the good folks of the SF Giants. Matt was here for parts of five seasons with Norwich/Connecticut including a single start in New Britain on August 25, 2007 when the Giants sent him cross country from Fresno for his only appearance in Double A last season. He gave up five runs in the first inning, settled down, and left to a no-decision as the Defs rallied for a win.
Good Luck Matt!

Misc fan notes: Since my Fantasy baseball team is out of the running this year, for the first time in years BTW, I'm picking up Pablo, Ryan, and TI on my team for kicks.

Just because it doesn't make sensse to Bacci doesn't mean the moves don't make sense. There are lots of reasons that make sense. One of them is giving guys a taste of the majors both motivates them, shows the organizations has confidnece in them, AND gives them a taste, and an idea what they need to work on in the minors. I think that is invaluable.
Also, even Espinelli had no beef with missing the Olympics. He was sent down for a specific reason - and is likely to back back in 2 weeks.
