Why bring up Headley just to sit him behind Silent L? That makes no sense. I'm guessing that Headley will have his shares of trouble hitting ML pitching. I don't see why he should be sitting, though. I like that he'll start in Wrigley, instead of Petco. I hope he gets some hits early before coming home to get some confidence up. 28: Yup, about the pitching staff and PMac got screwed again. Why not sent Sledge down if it had to be a hitter? Can the Padres not do that?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-53504">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 29: I sure hope not.

He probably is a better fit for the bench than P-Mac right now given that he's a switch hitter and can play a legit third base. Like TW, I'd still like to see an 11-man pitching staff, but I think we're all wasting our breath on that one.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-53501">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> #24: How Headley performs in the short-term is pretty much a crapshoot.

Kouzmanoff put up great AA numbers, did well in a short AAA stint and spent over a month flailing at breaking balls before he made the adjustment. Obviously every hitter is different but AA is a long way from the major leagues. I really hope Headley does well but the odds are against it. I remember a few weeks ago when Kouz was struggling Fuson was on 1090 and Coach asked him if he would promote Headley to the big show out of AA and he gave a pretty definitive "no". Is Kouz headed for the DL?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-53498">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I hate to pee in the punchbowl but can we realistically expect anything out of Headley?

What is the ever-lovin' point of carrying 12 pitchers if you're not going to use them? They could have let Hamspon and Cameron finish Peavy's game after he lost the no-hitter. An 8 run lead? Somebody's going to have to rearrange Bud's toy box for him.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-53496">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 23: I saw the same thing, Brian.
