Carlyle Called Up, Who Goes?

Written by Jonathan on April 15, 2008 – 11:45 am

As reported by the AJC, Buddy Carlyle is on his way from Triple-A Richmond to Florida to meet up with the Braves for their series against the Marlins.  He is slated to either replace Tom Glavine should he need to be placed on the disabled list because of his hamstring, or to fill in as the fifth starter in the rotation.

With this move, someone from the bullpen has to be sent down to make room on the roster.   The Braves have not yet announced their decision on whose spot Carlyle will take, but I’m hopeful that it’s Chris Resop.  Resop, though he’s out of options and would have to clear waivers, has been a thorn in the side of the pen so far this season as far as I’m concerned.  I don’t think Jeff Bennett’s outing was bad enough to send him and we need his potential as a long reliever.

Carlyle was 0-0 through 2 outings in Richmond thus far this season with a 7.04 ERA.

UPDATE: The Braves have announced that Peter Moylan has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow strain.

    It is Moylan, he’s hurt.

    I’ve updated the original post with Moylan going on the DL. He’s one of the pitchers we need to keep healthy!

    I’m definitely glad it wasn’t Jo-Jo. I just wish there was better reason for Buddy to come up than Moylan going on the DL. We need him.
