The Magic Man Turns Himself Into A Salmon (Plus Milton and Freel Medical Notes)

[missionhockey21]

Per Trent C.

The Reds recalled from Class AAA Louisville RHP Brad Salmon, optioned to Louisville RHP Gary Majewski and transferred to Louisville on a rehabilitation assignment LHP Eddie Guardado.

Eric Milton this morning had season-ending "Tommy John" surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow...the 2-hour procedure was performed by Reds medical director Dr. Timothy Kremchek...Ryan Freel, who suffered contusions to his head and neck in an outfield collision with Norris Hopper on 5/28, was examined by head and spine specialist Dr. John Brannan and was cleared to begin light aerobic activity…he will be examined again next week.

Good to see them make the right move with Majewski.

I'm surprised.

Majewski is just flat out awful as a setup man. The Reds will continue to be delusional in trying to make the trade seem better than it was with getting more value from it with him in a hopeful setup role, but he will just not cut it. The best he can be is a #2 or #3 option from middle relief.

It is definitely a head game with Majewski. I think he has real good stuff and a lively fastball. He is just getting beat up. I see no confidence in him. Maybe he can take a page out of Coffey's new book?
