Where to start with the transactions:

Pirates promote Ronny Paulino to replace Ryan Doumit on the major league roster. Carlos Maldonado goes from Altoona to Indianapolis, and I'm sure there will be another, as-yet-unannounced move of a catcher or two, since Altoona currently has just one catcher on the roster. Indy also activated P Matt Whiteside to replace UT Mike Edwards, also promoted to Pittsburgh.

Detroit recalled OF Alexis Gomez from Toledo. The Mud Hens activated P Lance Davis (who started Saturday's game), acquired OF Jackson Melian from Lakeland, and placed P Tony Fiore on the DL.

Fausto Carmona was promoted from Buffalo to Cleveland. In his place, the Bisons got The Run Fairy (TM), activated following his 10-day suspension for PED use.

As noted earlier, Brad Hennessey was promoted from Fresno to the Giants to start yesterday.

Tucson added Ps Chris Kinsey (from Lancaster) and Mike Bacsik (as a minor-leageu FA) and placed P Brian Bruney on the DL.

The Cubs promoted Ps Roberto Novoa and David Aardsma from Iowa and sent P Michael Wuertz to the ICubs.

P Aaron Williams was promoted from Corpus Christi to Round Rock.

P Scott Feldman was optioned to Oklahoma by the Rangers when C.J. Wilson was activated.

P Derrick DePriest was sent from Omaha (where he was on the inactive list) to Wichita.

New Orleans received OF Brandon Watson and C Wiki Gonzalez from the Nats, sent OF Ryan Church and P Saul Rivera up, placed OF Kenny Kelly on the DL, and received OF Reggie Fitzpatrick from extended spring.

Albuquerque activated P Jeff Fulchino from the DL, sent P Ryan Rupe to extended spring, received P Chris Resop from the Marlins, and placed P Nate Bump on the DL.

Carolina activated P Kevin Cave from the DL and returned P Christopher Young to Jupiter.

P Tom Shearn went from Louisville to Chattanooga, P Mike Nannini from the Lookouts to Sarasota.

Radhames Liz had a drop-off from his previous start:


Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Liz (W, 2-0) 5.0 2 0 0 1 9 0 0.00
</pre>

Not a big drop-off, mind you.

Newsflash: Cam Coughlan is with Stockton now, down from Midland.

Does anybody know why Jeremy Guthrie decided on 2006 as the year when he finally gets AAA hitters out?

From the Springfield News-Leader game summary of last night's Wichita-Springfield game:

(Wichita manager Frank) White was given the heave-ho by the plate umpire in the sixth. That came on a favorable call for the Cardinals when the second-base umpire ruled Alex Gordon out on a force at second base, despite the ball immediately popping out of the glove of second baseman Jarrett Hoffpauir on McCoy's throw from deep in the hole.

White said the second-base umpire told him Hoffpauir lost the ball in transfer, but White argued there was no transfer attempt.

Under orders from Texas League president Tom Kayser, the Cardinals front office is not releasing names of umpires. The umpiring crew also did not respond to knocks on their locker room door after the game.

"The home plate umpire came out and I asked him if he could get help, and he said, 'He should have thrown you out for coming out on the field anyway,' " White said. "And I told him, 'This is not bleeping high school. Managers come out and argue the plays.' "



It could start getting ugly real soon.

I was looking at the Richmond roster, and that has to be one of the msot boring teams in terms of prospects!
all old players. the only mildly interesting ones being Jurries and Thorman. and the team record sucks ( cos noone is hitting ). I have a feeling it has the maximum average age for any current minor league roster.
the pitchers in myrtle beach are all off to horrible starts. looks like the end for Jake Stevens as a starter is nigh

In this day and age, that's true of almost any AAA team.

Take a look at Toledo's roster. With Nook Logan and Roman Colon on the DL, the best *prospects* are Wil Ledezma, Zach Miner and Ryan Raburn.

Paulino is the man, hopefully he'll do something memorable while he's up. Hennessey certainly acquitted himself well. It'll be interesting to see how Traber does in his start. If he pitches well maybe Bowdes will add his name to the big spinning wheel he uses to determine his roster moves. Or trade him for Nook Logan.

also from last night: Billingsley good, Petit bad.
