The Beej Hits the DL
Written by Squirrely Shuckheimer on April 23, 2009 – 3:36 pm -Just as I was planning my alcoholic pathway to getting over the news of Ricky Romero hitting the 15-Day DL, word hits the wire (Bastian Tweeted this good news this afternoon) that B.J. Ryan will be following him with “trap tightness”. I don’t want to jump to any extremist conclusions, but I’m pretty sure Ryan could use some time to get it together.
One would assume that Scott Downs will step in an handle the closing duties, that’s good. As for the thinning rotation, we’ll have to wait and see what Brett Cecil can bring, if he is to get the call on Saturday as predicted. Keep the faith my fellow optimists, for now.

I too need a drink or ten.
And I’m loathe to mess with Downs. That guy is dynamite doing what he’s doing. Let’s leave him be. Let Frasor close.

Frasor scares the pants off me.

He’s pitching sick this year, bro.

Yeah yeah, I know. I love the changeup he’s bringing. It’s just that he’s struggled with the role before. I think Downs gets first shot…

What the eff??? When will Beej be healthy and show us some of what we’re paying for??

He’ll be healthy in 2006.

I’m not too shocked to see B.J. on the DL. I just hope they make the right move and call up Jeremy Accardo. I think he ’s ready to mow down some major leaguers again.

I agree bring back Accardo. Downs is a valued set up man.

I think I did a great job closing, even with little rest. I hold down the job until Accardo is ready.
