Tyner Called Up; Mastny Optioned

Posted by Nino Sunday, May 11, 2008, under ,,, | No comments

I don't remember the last time Tom Mastny pitched in a game for the Indians.

Perhaps that is why the Indians decided to option him down to Buffalo.

The most irritating part of our bullpen is how Eric Wedge is using it, especially with Joe Borowski out for the time being.

Craig Breslow displayed some effectiveness early in the year, but Old Blinky has managed to not use him at all for some strange reason. Just mop up duty(like in last nights 12-0 laugher).

Mastny was sent down to Buffalo to probably get some work in. I don't blame them for making the move. Not even sure why they are carrying him the way Wedge is using his pen.

To take his spot on the roster the Tribe called up Jason Tyner. This might be his chance to stick or go elsewhere. I don't know what happens when they bring Borowski back and Tyner has to get removed from the Indians 25 man. He is a veteran and I don't know if he will be allowed to go elsewhere.

I don't even know if he will get any time up here, or much of it. We'll see.

This also means Tyner will take Jason Michaels' spot on the 40 man roster. That spot was unfilled till now. Both rosters/boards have been updated.
