And I think Vargas is too. And as far as I know those guys won’t be ready for September anyway, or El Duque he’s on the 40 man roster isn’t he. And I think Vargas is too.

Unfortunately in August with all the positional problems that we have it may just take one. It really seems like Omar is hoping for a miracle at this point.

I'm not sure how many more at bats we can take on the chin for the sake of Marlon's potential reawakening, Let's face it: the chances of that are starting to appear to be slim to none. I don't know anything about Anderson's contract, but couldn't he spend the rest of it (or at least the next few months of it) in New Orleans? Or does it not work that way? Regarding resting outfielders, I agree that Endy needs some downtime, but I see no reason to rest Tatis. I don't think he <i>wants</i> to rest, and his bat has been a godsend.

Evens jumped straight to the bigs from AA and the guy had 3 doubles his first game. I say there's no time like the present, Eisely, Castillo and reyes have been less then steller so why not give the kid a chance. as for niese, i'd rather see him get a shot then a guy like armas, cordero or figueroa i think armas was DFA’d so the count should be 48 with pagan, I say lets see what niese and murphy can do.

I would make a bad joke about losing track of them, but I think both those guys have merit in a fluid roster context so I won't. Aha, thank you.

They have Pagan, Nixon and Alou to choose from. :( But they don’t need all of them.
