I think they sent infielder Pedro Lopez down to AA Birmingham.
They did, but apparently the folks in the press box at S-WB didn't get the word.
I have to remember to check Birmingham's Web site when stuff like this happens; they do an outstanding job of keeping the transactions up-to-date, plus they post game notes.

What's wrong with him now?
A new Moonlight Graham.
He got 1 ML AB at age 24 or 25, went 0-1 and never made it back to the show in the next 10 years.

Adam Greenberg is on track to end with an even stranger career line.
The only pitch he saw at the ML level ended his season. He was released by the Cubs a few weeks back. I don't know what he's doing with himself now.
Getting treatment for some type of vertigo syndrome the HBP gave him i think.

The work is much appreciated even if I can't keep up with this stuff as much as I'd like.

My boss's nephew, Gary Burnham, is with Reading this year. He played two or three year of AAA ball and spent last year at Bridgeport in the Atlantic League. He's gotta be about 30 or so now. Are there many players that age in AA?
Gary's in the third generation of that family that played in the minor leagues. He had a brother that played for a couple of years in A ball, as well.

Burnham is 31. Reading has two other age-30s, Allen Davis and Tim McClaskey.
There are a handful of AA teams that have a player or two who is 30 or older; for example, Michael Coleman, at age 30, is playing regularly for Montgomery, and Juan Carlos Muniz, also 30, started this season in A-ball before being promoted to Carolina. It's not common, but not all that unusual either. Reading's unique in that they have a lot of older players on the team, not just the 30s but a number of 28 and 29 YOs as well. That's more an indictment of Philadelphia's player development system than anything else.

Well, an injury would help explain his +18 at the Open.
Yes, it is.
No, that was Ryan Thompson.

It took them some time to realize the white, right-handed pitcher on the mound wearing no. 32 was not Javier Lopez as well.
In return for Haley, the Diamondbacks received 22 year old RHP Jake Baxter (2005 - 25th round) who has been assigned to the Low A South Bend Silver Hawks
