As reported by a few people, Howie Clark has been called up to the big club, and Chad Hermansen has been optioned down to Syracuse. Details available on this press release.
This move leaves a bench of Clark, Berg, Gomez, and Myers. Three infielders and a catcher, with no real backup outfielder. In a recent Transactions Analysis (subscription), Chris Kahrl made this comment about the recent demotion of Simon Pond: "he'd be pretty handy as the lefty on the bench who could fill in at the infield and outfield corners. I guess he's an honorary recipient of my now-standard Howie Clark Lament." Is Chris Kahrl psychic? Are the Jays taking his advice on moves? Or do these have absolutely nothing to do with each other?
