Bray to Louisville, Weathers activated
From John Fay:

Quote:
Bill Bray was optioned to Triple-A Louisville. David Weathers was activated from the disabled list.

Bray took the news well. He pitched in the last three games.

"That's the first time I've done that in couple of years," he said. "I feel great today. I'm excited about that."

Well, you have to admit. Bray didn't do himself any favors impressing Jocketty. Still though, not sure why Mercker is still up here.

Bray had a limited opportunities to do anything. Although his command sometimes may be off, he does miss bats.

Weathers has little command and never misses bats.

Re: Bray to Louisville, Weathers activated
Right now they need guys who can give them some innings 'cause this bullpen is spent. Bray probably wouldn't be available for the entire Cubs series and they need someone who can pitch in case we have another starter meltdown

Not a big deal. Mercker only got an invite to ST because he wanted one last hurrah with the boys. The invite was a favor so he could go out on his own terms. He'll be a distant memory by opening day.

Because he has options, and Wayne stuck the Reds with Weathers' 4 million dollar contract..

Lincoln and Mercker are actually producing. I have no problem with keeping them on the roster. I'd prefer to just release Weathers, but I guess they have to go through the motions and hope someone takes Weathers off our hands at the trading deadline.. Cast probably isn't in the mood to eat another one of Wayne's turds.

Mercker no options. I don't agree, but that's why! Not impressed with Mercker. Oh well. Things will be changing as the year goes. The youth movement is on the way.

He's in his office, signing checks to Juan Castro and Mike Stanton.

Re: Bray to Louisville, Weathers activated
A few productive weeks from Weathers could make him nice trade bait for the likes of the Yankees or Tigers.
