James Johnson was called up from AA Bowie to start tomorrow afternoon’s game. Eddy Rodriguez was sent down to AAA Ottawa to make room.
Grade: C
We needed someone to make a spot start for Kris Benson since hes getting his elbow worked on. Its only supposed to be a one start thing, so Johnson can get some experience and if he does good, he might stick. No lose situation if you ask me. He isn’t expected to do great so it shouldn’t be too much pressure, besides it being his MLB debut. Eddy Rodriguez is an alright selection, although I would’ve released Russ Ortiz instead. Good luck James.
