If Cordero goes on the DL, Manny would like to have another reliever (Schroder). If Dukes is activated, an outfielder has to be waived/traded (Harris/Mackovack)to make room for him. The bigger problem is when LoDuca is activated. Nieves has played well, is a better defensive catcher who is capable of throwing out a runner and has become the personal catcher for John Lannan who is the best pitcher in the rotation. But LoDuca has $5M contract and Estrada has $1.25M contract. What do they do???</p> Manny likes to have 12 pitchers (5 starters and 7 relievers).

Dukes bumps Mackowiak, Harris has played more often when the choice came in. As for Lo Duca, my preference would be to dump Estrada and hold onto Nieves who has performed well and is the better defensive option among the three.</p> I’d agree that Schroder is the likely replacement for Cordero.

Barry Svrgula says Van Allen has been promoted to Harrisburg. He didn’t mention another move, but I wonder If Meyers is ready for Potomac.

There is a common misperception that AAA is where the best prospects are. In reality, that description fits AA. Stammen will likely only pitch in blowouts, which is fine because he's shown a tendency of getting smacked around the 2nd time through the lineup.</p> Not really, Jane.
