A trip to Syracuse is in store for The Great JB, who leaves the roster alongside Yohan Ramirez and Joey Wendle (up come Lucchesi, Vientos and Hartwig).

Yohan Ramirez knows from detachments. He can brief Joey Wendle. Both are being DFA'd, with Vientos and Lucchesi coming back.

Max Kranick has indeed been outrighted to Syracuse.

I learned over the weekend that Bernard Gilkey’s 1996 Met teammate Charlie Greene has been coaching Milwaukee Brewer catchers for a while.

Swan was back in camp with the Angels in ’85 and was a late cut.

The Angels are reportedly picking up Luis Guillorme from the Braves.

Patrick Mazeika and Jack Reinheimer are playing for Gastonia in the Atlantic League, managed by Mauro “Goose” Gozzo.

Hatless Pete and Ice Blue Vientos are gems.

I remember when Yohan Ramirez loomed as the next Michael Tonkin.

I wonder how well a young Mays hit against Satchel Paige. From an interview with GQ in 2010: There’s a wonderful story about the first time you faced Satchel Paige. Oh, yeah. We were in Memphis, Tennessee. It was like a playoff game. It might have been ’48. Satchel had a very, very good fastball. B...

Scott is officially promoted, with Sulser recalled as well. Nuñez and Young are optioned.

Our Christian savior will attempt to disconnect the devilish Rays from any further winning. Young Scott faces Zack Littell at 7:15 PM on a FOX affiliate near you, unless you live in some unsophisticated market showing a different game.
