Ouch. Bailey on the 7-day injured list (caught a foul tip on the mask).  Sabol called up.  The story I read said that Sabol the only other catcher on the 40-man roster. Really?

Plus Murphy, of course.

And now Murphy is hurt.  Jackson Reetz anyone?

On the good side, Reetz has a .500 career MLB batting average. On the not-so-good side, Reetz is 28 years old and has a AAA slash line of .234/.328/.478/.806 and about the same at AA. He runs into one every now and then, 29 home runs in 500 ABs at the AAA level, about the same at AA. He struck out 152 times in 500 ABs at AAA, slightly worse in AA actually. So...I'm guessing a stat line of 4 ABs, 3 Ks, maybe a HBP (he gets hit a lot).

The Jackson Reetz era is upon us. Hope he enjoys his cup of coffee...he's thrown out 30% of baserunners, not a terrible fielder.

“Reetz has a .500 career MLB batting average.”


You have a good sense of humor.

Technically speaking, his slash line is .500/.500/1.000/1.500. On one glorious day, the third round selection debuted as a pinch hitter -- against the Giants, no less -- and hit a double off of Brebbia, later scoring. He was a defensive replacement the next game, then got sent back down. Hasn't been in the majors since. And given that he was 2 for 16 in spring training, I didn't expect him to get a sniff of a Giants game...except everyone knows that spring training stats are meaningless. And here we are.
