Sanchez to DL, Atchison up

from Rotoworld:

Giants placed LHP Jonathan Sanchez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 25, with a rib cage strain.

Sanchez hadn't pitched since the series against the Yankees, so he'll be eligible to return right after the break.

Giants purchased the contract of RHP Scott Atchison from Triple-A Fresno.

Atchison, 31, was a nice surprise for the Mariners in the second half of 2004, but he hurt his elbow the next spring and hadn't pitched in the majors since. He's back now after amassing a 2.11 ERA in 42 2/3 innings for Fresno. He'll be tried in middle relief.

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
I like when they call up somebody from the minors, and then they ruin it by calling up a 31 year old guy.

Relievers don't have to be young to be successful, you never know what you might find.

Atchinson has had a solid season this year in Fresno, I say give him a shot.

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
Amen. Atchison has struck out 45 batters in 37.1 big league innings, had a great 2006 in AAA and has been lights-out so far this year. Take away his injury-riddled mess of a 2005 and you have an intriguing track record. If he works out, he can make close to the league minimum for a few years before even becoming arbitration eligible. At that point, I wouldn't care much about his age or whether he came up through our system.

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
Atchison, wow. Good for him. Does this mean Atchison will hang around until Chulk comes back, and Misch will stay until Sanchez is activated? I'd think Misch has more of a future with the Giants than Atchison.

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
I guess that's why we haven't seen Sanchez pitch.

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
At least it's not his arm, which is what I always worry about wit Sanchez (and every pitcher, but I tend to worry about it with Sanchez as opposed to just being aware of it for most others).

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
This better be a placeholding move until Chulk is back - if we send down Misch and keep Atchinson I'll shit.

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
I'm hoping that when both Vinny and Jonathan return, Atchison is sent back to Topeka and Steve Kline is traded to anywhere.

Misch can mash!

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
I agree, but four lefties in the bullpen is a bit much, so I wouldn't have a problem if Misch gets sent back down. Maybe Sanchez will be sent down and stretched out once again in anticipation of a Matt Morris trade.

Re: Sanchez to DL, Atchison up
Better look at his splits before you promote him to the rotation
