Another possible option is that they are DFA'ing Herrera, but I would hate for Cecchini to sit on the bench.Eck'sSneakyCheese said:
How about this one... Xander injury?

– Feats of Mookie: Being exceptional. Through eight innings, the PawSox had two hits against Twins prospect Trevor May. Both were from Mookie Betts, who had a double and triple before adding a ninth-inning walk against the right-hander and ultimately scoring his team’s only run. With the 2-for-3 performance, Betts (who played second base on Monday) has a .292/.404/.479 line and has reached base in all 13 games he’s played in Triple-A.

Dude continues to be on fire, even after the call up to Pawtucket:
I mentioned this in the other thread, but I don't see how they can avoid optioning De La Rosa for a roster spot for a starter to make Workman's next start and then optioning whoever makes that start to activate Doubront to make De La Rosa's next start. And that leaves them with an extra spot for whatever if they go ahead and option De La Rosa now.You can't add a player in his place

It's more than premature -- it's insane. He'd have to be added to the 40-man roster.

I know, I know. But he's been ripped from me here in Portland and I want to keep watching the kid play. He's awesome.
I mean, DFA Sizemore already. That'll open a spot.

Maybe they're comfortable enough with Holt in the OF that they think they can DFA Sizemore. He's kind of redundant with Nava back anyways.

John Farrell on MLB Network Radio on report that Garin Cecchini is being called up: "I don't know where that's coming from."
It's De La Rosa's spot until they need the replacement starter to make Workman's next start.I'm not following. You suggest:
Workman suspended, 24 eligible of 25 man roster
De La Rosa optioned for Workman replacement starter. (24 eligible for 25 man roster)
Doubrant activated, Workman replacement starter sent back (24 eligible for 25 man roster)
Workman suspension ends (25 players eligible)
Where's the "extra" spot?

Sounds like Red Sox have Cecchini in Boston in case they need him. Could swap him in for a few days.

My bad on the 40 man spot, I need to read what you're replying to more carefully. I agree on the second sentence completely. Label it what it is and stop insulting our intelligence.mabrowndog said:
I was referring to Mookie Betts, not Cecchini.
And if Garin is being added to the roster, it's out of necessity and not a merit-based "promotion". I really hate when that word gets routinely used by reporters in referring to these sorts of transactions.

So to me it looks like Cecchini is here as depth with Rubby being sent down, until Thursday when Cecchini is then sent down for Doubront, who will make the start in place of Workman, while he serves his suspension.

Even though Webster is on schedule to start Saturday, it looks like it would make more sense to borrow Ranaudo Friday and wait until Saturday to activate Doubront since there's no borrowing that roster spot again once he's activated. Unless there's a DL or DFA move coming that we don't know about yet, anyway.Friday (I goofed upthread). Lester tonight, Lackey tomorrow, Peavy Thursday. Then they'll have to figure out what to do for Saturday (Webster or Ranaudo) since Clay's making another AAA start on Thursday night.

Garin Cecchini is up, and Grady Sizemore has been designated for assignment

He wasn't getting playing time over the incomparable Brock Holt. His days here were done.glennhoffmania said:Isn't the timing odd? Why not wait until Victorino is ready?

True, but in the meantime he was an insurance policy until Victorino is back. Now the OF consists of Bradley, Holt, Gomes and Nava.
