Padres - DLed Hernandez, Eaton
San Diego Padres - Placed C Ramon Hernandez and P Adam Eaton on the 15-day disabled list - recalled 1B Paul McAnulty; activated P Tim Redding.
This isn’t as bad as it sounds; the Padres have been smart in more than one way here. Eaton was taken out of a game last week due to a strained finger and the Padres are being very careful with him, no pitching through the pain, no changing mechanics to blow out arm or anything like that. It stinks to lose Eaton in the middle of his breakout season, but he’ll be back in a week or so.
The Padres have also handled the Hernandez situation very intelligently, actually using their emergency catcher (Rob Fick) in an emergency instead of freaking out and DFAing a prospect to find the first unemployed former major league catcher whose phone hasn’t been disconnected. Fick is not a good catcher, but he and Ojeda can cover the position adequately while he’s gone. And it has the side benefit of getting to add an actual hitter just in case Nevin has to go on the DL after all.

1. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: June 23, 2005 at 02:28 PM (#1425382)I agree Dan though, very smart move by the Padres to handle this way. For the real life pennant race, this is no big deal for the Padres, but could have been if they did not handle correctly.
