Van Meter’s a surprise, but he and Antone were sent “down.”
Antone could mean Miley is ready. He could be back pretty soon if there’s a need for a starter or long man.
Reds don’t have much LH pinch hitting as things stand.

how is van meter a surprise?
Raley may have saved his spot last night. I do think we are lacking LH power on the bench now. I would have thought that JVM would have more use than Colon and Davidson going forward. I wonder if this decision was made because the other guys are out of options.

Am I wrong to assume that Antone was sent down specifically because he's going to be unavailable for awhile anyway?

How long does player have to wait this year before being called back up? Still 10 days?
Colon is a quality IF. Especially at second base. Van Meter's glove has hurt a couple of times. Moose is a lefty, so it makes sense to have a righty to play against a lefty when Moose is in need of a day off, though Farmer could be used there as well.
The LH pinch hitter doesn't come into play much with the DH. Seems like Colon is more useful for the reasons stated above.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Fine with VanMeter going bye bye. I'm completely sold on Antone, however, and loathe the idea of watching Miley getting bombed instead of having Tejay in his spot.
I still have no idea why Brooks Raley is on a major league roster, much less this one.

More guys have to go when Stephenson and Miley come back. My guess is Raley will go then. Maybe Reed as well. Personally I'd keep those guys to soak up unimportant innings and send out Jankowski and Davidson. Raley and Reed would only pitch when the Reds are well behind, the starter is taken out early or its extra innings and there isn't anybody else.
