Tracy Ringolsby: Big moves in the outfield
Dexter Fowler heads to the 15-day DL with a deep bruise in his knee, while Eric Young Jr and Matt Murton will be called up.
Fowler was already battling inflammation in the knee he didn't hit last night. Matt Murton hit .321 with 10 HR and 71 RBI in AAA. Eric Young Jr just began getting time in CF and hit .299 with 7 HR, 43 RBI and 58 SB.
UPDATE: Ringolsby originally reported that Carlos Gonzalez was placed on the 15-day DL as well. Now he and Troy Renck both report that Adam Eaton has been optioned to AAA to make room for Murton instead.

I've been worried about this
The injury bug hitting late in the season. Man, this is so not good. Have to try and get through it and not lose any ground at the very least.
I'll have another beer, please.
I'd like to hear from
Sideshow Mel Redhawk!
"DAMMIT! No, calm down. Learn to enjoy losing." --Hunter S. Thompson
I doubt anyone wanted this to be the reason for EY2's call up
But while he’s here…enjoy!
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
So they are eligible to come back Sept 8th?
They can begin their rehab assignments before then right?
I gotta imagine EY2 takes over Fowler while Spilly and Murton play backups…..we need the speed.
Really? I'd think Spilly would get most of the starts in CF
It looks like EY2 has played 16 games in center, plus whatever he’s done in the fall league/winter ball.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
No no
Look, i know Spilly can play a pretty good center, but my point is, that we need speed in this lineup since we just lumped our two fastest players on the DL. If Fowler is going be gone, then we absolutely need EY2 to turn into Dex while he’s gone. CarGo’s loss is something I’m not too worried about, since Murton is a solid hitter to play Smith’s role, and Smith is the LF starter by default now, since he can replicate CarGo’s production pretty easily. Right now, EY2 needs to be a weapon in center.

It would be nice, but he needs to be able to play a passable center first,
And I’m not sure he’s really able to do that except in small doses. If he is, then sure, your way might be optimal.
Right now, we know he has the range, given EY2's ridiculous speed
It’s whether he can judge where the ball is going that is going to define EY2 in center for now.
I really think we called EY2 to replace Dex’s job, with Spilly playing center in small doses. we just need the speed in the lineup too much.
by bballrox4717 on Aug 25, 2009 3:34 PM MDT up reply actions
An alternate theory
EY2 may not be judged ready to play CF in Coors, so we drop him in at 2B, and #2 in the order, and Barmey sits for a couple.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Sit Barmey against the Dodgers?
or against the Giants this coming weekend…I’m not sure about that..
His defense his too good….
Well, sit tonight and possibly tomorrow
And re-evalutate afterwards.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
That's my hope.
Lately, Spilly >> Barmes. The other question is how EY2’s defense compares to Barmes at second or Spilly in center. I think if it just comes down to offense, it’s no question that he replaces Barmes, but you need to take everything into account.
If the previous reports are to be believed
Barmes’ 2B defense >>>>>> EY2’s
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Sitting Barmes at this point would be plain idiotic, no offense
Especially with two lefties throwing for the Dodgers in the next two days. I can see Spilly getting the starts in center for now, Smith in left, but, the worst part of this all, is defense and speed that we are losing, emphasis on the speed.
by bballrox4717 on Aug 25, 2009 3:40 PM MDT up reply actions
Well, I guess this means
Hawpe better improve his defense ASAP and let’s hope he’s going to be the Dodger killer that his numbers have shown in the past.
Actually, I believe they can come back September 1st
The 25 man roster (and the 15 day DL) disappear on September 1st. As they are both on the 40 man roster, they are eligible to play again on Sep 1st. We got lucky, it’s only a 6 or 7 day DL with the injuries happening now :)
Is that from Jabberwocky's column?
I don’t see it in his roster/DL article.
Also, in the ITR thread, Ringolsby said was working to confirm whether both are indeed headed to the DL.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
This reawakes my theory
With Dexter Fowler’s right knee swollen, the Rockies made a roster move today putting him on the disabled list and calling up speedster Eric Young Jr. from Colorado Springs.
The Rockies also called up outfielder Matt Murton, but the corresponding roster move to make room for him was not yet known.
CarGo not to go on DL, and perhaps Eaton DFA’d.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
No, but Eaton's already unavailable for a couple of days
Based on his # of pitches thrown last night, and by then, we’re only four days from roster expansion, so it’s a better alternative than sending down a position player who doesn’t really need to be out 15 days.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Ringoslby Confirmed!
Dexter Fowler was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a deep bone bruise suffered when he fouled a ball off his right knee in the Rockies 6-4, 14-inning victory against San Francisco.
The Rockies also optioned pitcher Adam Eaton to Triple-A Colorado Springs to create the other roster spot.

And the Post to confirm later....

That's good! (Relatively speaking)
At least CarGon is not expected to be out that long. Just keep him away from steak knives.

Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I'm sure there are plenty of Rowbots
who would volunteer to cut his steaks for him so he doesn’t have to touch a knife.
And his cheese
I mean, why make him have to touch a roll of toilet paper, either? Paper cuts are nasty.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I heard somewhere...
he was washing dishes, and picked up a plate with the knife on it? Teach him to be helpful.
I heard knocked the steak knife off the counter, reached, and caught the business end.
One time I dropped a sharp knife. Did’t try to catch it, I just instinctively tried to get my bare foot out of the way, and kicked the crap out of the cat.

That made it sound like CarGon is not on the DL.
Who would be sent down instead? (Please let it be Eaton.)
Plenty of players placed on 15-day DL in Sept of 2008
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
I was thinking that
if Fowler came back as a September call up then also technically he wouldn’t be eligible for postseason play, not being on the 25 man at the time. I don’t think we have that loophole
All players both on the active 25 man roster AND on the DL on August 31st are eligible for post-season play.
Via Tracy:
The requirement to be on the post-season roster is that you are in an organization by Aug. 31.
If a team has 25 active players and none on the DL then those 25 are the ones who go. If a team has five or six players on the DL it expands the choices they can make for filling out the post-season roster.

I thought that they shouldn't have left him in.
Why not just put the pitcher in the #3 spot vacated by Helton and then Gonzalez? Leave Hawpe and Spilly where they are. Then you don’t have CarGon bunting later on, or have to pinch hit for him.
Not gonna 2nd guess Tracy
53-26 will do that for ya.

This has been my game-watching mantra...
There were a couple of times I remarked to my wife, “Hmmm, not sure about that move, but I sure trust Tracy.”
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
Yup, and he's earned a LOT of leeway, too...
….because no doubt there will be a couple of decisions that don’t work out. The difference between he and Hurdle is that, in Tracy’s case, I’m assured that he’s actually thoroughly considered all the likelihoods before he makes the call. He is one of the best prepared managers in the game, and has a reputation for being so.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Maybe I shouldn't, but "I have a bad feeling about this".
BEAT LA! BEAT LA!
(Thanks to Denver Nuggets fans)
Now's the time to do this...
The Rockies have these two big series against LA and SF, but a relatively easy ten game homestand after that to recuperate where we should be favored even without CarGo and Dex. This means Murton and EY2 are eligible for the post season too, if need be. This recent injury bug hurts, but I don’t think it’s devastating yet.
I didn't think they would actually do this
They seemed confident about CarGo’s return soon, but Fowler’s may not seem good. As long as they are ready for the playoffs, it’s fine.
by bballrox4717 on Aug 25, 2009 3:22 PM MDT up reply actions
Surprised by CarGo
but not Dex. It looked pretty bad the way he was limping around out there.
I guess they’re just playing it safe with CarGo, to make sure he’s completely healed.
Gladly sharing a name with Dexter Fowler!
by ShadowPenguin on Aug 25, 2009 3:23 PM MDT up reply actions
At this point I'm much more worried that pushing them makes things worse
And we lose them for the playoffs. I’d rather they recover by then. A four game cushion allows us some flexibility right now.
here's hoping with fingers crossed
and wow, I was still on high on the buzz from last nights victory…talk about
buzzkill news:( sigh…
I agree
It’s a bummer, as Dex and CarGon had been playing well—the sort of thing we probably envisioned in spring training.
But we know Spilly can handle center, Murton can play a little as well. Smith will likely get more AB’s. And the team has the depth to be able to cover for them. Hawpe, Iannetta, etc: time to step up.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
Would this mean..
that Adam Eaton is not eligible for the postseason if he is in CS on Sep1?

Yes
However, I don’t think there’s any danger of seeing Adam Eaton on a post-season roster anytime soon, either way.

I'm glad we have the depth, at least.
Of any position, OF is probably where the Rockies have the most depth. Giving Smith more ABs is not a bad thing. I think we lose more on defense than anything, which could turn out to be a problem.

I wasn’t even the first to post it!! lol
UPDATE
From Ringolsby in the comments section of the above linked article
A player on the 15-day disabled list must be out at least 15 days, and that is not impacted by Sept. 1. One thing the Rockies are looking at is whether they could merely option Fowler to Triple-A, instead of placing him on the disabled list. A player is required to spend 10 days in the minors before he can be recalled, but that would allow Fowler to return five days earlier than if he was placed on the disabled list.
Seriously, I'd rather them keep Fowler on the DL
and let him fully get healthy.
by bballrox4717 on Aug 25, 2009 4:00 PM MDT up reply actions
me too, if he's already lost to us for these next two series,
Then it’s not going to make a big difference to also lose him against the Mets/Reds/Padres at Coors. As long as he’s back the next time we go to SF after that, that would be the next critical part of the schedule.
Yes, especially if CarGo is back by Thursday
We won’t lose much in OF defense over that time, and Dex is way too valuable to risk serious long-term knee damage. If we didn’t have Murton/Spilly available, I’d be less inclined to go slow, but our OF should be almost fine for the most part over the next 15 days.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
Would that mean exercising one of his option years?
I guess it probably doesn’t matter with Dex, as it seems that he is ready to stick in the majors and won’t need to be sent to the minors. I’m just trying to understand the rule.
It probably would
But it would be his first one, and he’s obviously ready for the majors with what we’ve seen this year.
"Good teams win games, horse**** teams have meetings." - Ozzie Guillen
Yes it would...
In my opinion, Fowler won’t be ready to come back after 15 days anyway—I’m thinking three weeks.

“It’ll be hard for the Rockies to maintain that 51-22 pace for the rest of a season.” Wait, a pace is 2 weeks or a month, The Rox have done this for HALF a season. I believe a trend has been established, and if we’ve plateaued, this “pace” should be enough to win us the division.
So the Dodgers 18-19 after the All-Star break isn’t indicative of their current potential?

Yup, it's all bias.
Fact is, they haven’t maintained a 51-22 pace. They have been playing great – 19-11 in their last 30, 24-13 since the break, but since those “streaks” usually date back to the 16 of 17 run, of course the pace is off.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!

Wow! They wasted no time
I take this is as vote of confidence in his ability to play center. They better be right.

when rookies (who haven’t yet had their MLB debut) are initially called up, the team will try to get the debut out of the way as quick as possible, so as not to let the kid’s nerves run while he just watches everyone else.

plus, you need that left handed bat off the bench for the late inning magic against the dodgers…
Yeah, because one at bat is better than 4.

If it is against a righty, no
but with a tough lefty on the mound, Smith should be on the bench.

11 pitchers
Another comment from Tracy in the above linked article (in the comment section) Sounds like Rincon is the guy who will get the call if needed.
Karl, they have Matt Herges to step in after Fogg. And if Herges has to pitch on Wednesday, remember Colorado Springs is at home. If the Rockies decided they needed another pitcher, they could recall Rincon from his medical rehab assignment and activate him. My guess is he would be in the clubhouse in plenty of time for Thursday’s game. He has been working out with the big league team when it is home in between rehab assignments.
Key is Eaton wasn’t available tonight, anyhow, given he pitched yesterday so for at least one day you add another offensive option. If the pitching staff gets stretched tonight or tomorrow then they make the move with the Springs.
Going to the game tonight
/crosses fingers the Rox have something left after last night.
I’ll try to chime in on EY2 in the Game Wrap when I get home! Go Rockies!!!!!!!!!!
I'll have another beer, please.
Street likely unavailable tonight
bahh…everything is against us tonight but you know what we can and will prevail…Go Rockies!

Is it wrong that I'm actually wondering what nunber EY2 will wear?

What’s a nunber you ask? Well that’s how retarded people, such as myself, spell “number.”

Hmmm...original EY wore 21...but Marquis has that now...
He’s wearing number 4 in the springs…probably that.

21
Can Jr wear X2 as his number?

Can he have that though?
Jim Tracy wears number 4. Don’t know how it works with coaches and stuff. I remember Mike Gallego gave up his number for somebody a couple years ago though.

Oh, didn't realize that
Coach numbers aren’t listed on the roster. Hmmm….
Maybe 42 (double his dad’s number) or 22 (one+ his dad) or something completely random! Whee!

Wonder if he could bribe Marquis?
Does Marquis wear that number for a particular reason? Or even better, how cool would it be if Marquis offered to give that number, knowing it was EY1’s number…?
EY Jr will hit a homer in his 1st AB.

EY2
just read that EY2 will bat leadoff and play CF
Dex
Will he be eligible for the postseason due to this move? By my reckoning, he would not be on the roster as of September 1st, and we have no outfielders on the 60 day DL for him to replace (only pitchers).
Am I missing something, or did we lose Dex for the postseason?
I've been in this game a hundred years, but I see new ways to lose I never knew existed before. - Casey Stengel
He'll be eligible
For that case the 15-day DL is just like the active roster, I believe.
"Good teams win games, horse**** teams have meetings." - Ozzie Guillen
From what I saw mentioned
The postseason roster is open to all 25 players on the active roster, and anyone on the 15 day DL on Sept 1

A link on post season eligibility
Here’s a link to one site that tries to explain post season eligibility.
Sorry about the confusion above – I did find a reference to the 15 day DL disappearing in September, but it’s definitely sketchy. There are transactions in September, which makes that incorrect. However, I don’t understand the point of moving someone to the15 day DL after Sept 1st – it doesn’t open a spot on the 40 man roster. Does anyone have a theory?
EY is wearing #3
