Mark Bellhorn is probably the defination of term filler. I assume he'd have been cut by now if not for all of our injuries.

He isn't listed among the walking wounded.

I know I posted this somewhere, but according to the latest SI, the Seattle Mariners got a .667 OPS from their DHs last season, so maybe it's not as rare as you'd think.

They got him for Gathright from the Royals.

http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/H/J.P.-Howell.shtml

Collegiate lefty who got to the majors really fast- a year after signing. First-round sandwich pick, 2004. Dominant while at the U. of Texas. Finesse guy. Crafty, if he were older. Looks possibly headed for something of an "AAAA" designation, as he's already mastered AAA but tends to get hit in the bigs.

Although, if you ask me, the Rays will get the better end of the deal with KC for Gathright. As fun as Joey would be to watch play, he can't hit or get on base consistently in the majors and isn't a starting-quality outfielder. Howell, on the other hand, could definitely get better. Surprising that Dayton Moore dealt him away, given that he was a Braves HS pick in the 2nd round in 2001.

(EDIT: That was post 5,000. Yay, me.)

Beware of those pitchers the Braves trade away, they are not usually wrong on who to let got. Bubba and Bong come to mind.

Josh Katzowitz filled in for C. Trent Rosecrans and he talked to Harang after the game:


Talked to Harang after the game. He said the Devil Rays were really aggressive and slapping at the first pitch they saw. That's why he had a tough second inning. In the third, he said he threw nothing but curveballs and sliders, and the Devils Rays went 1-2-3. Also, Narron said he's never seen an umpire call balls and strikes from behind the pitcher's mound. Said he thought maybe the view was better back there.

The view is only better if Jennie Finch is pitching.
