The twittersphere is abuzz with the news that Frank Francisco has been activated and Jesse Litsch has been sent down to Las Vegas. It appears that the preservation of a potential asset in Jo-Jo Reyes is taking precedent over putting the best team on the field today.
Jesse had an option left so he could be sent down without losing him. Reyes did not.
Our poll on the left here shows that over 80% of you thought Reyes should be pulled from the rotation. The 9% of you who voted for Litsch were right.
I think this decision needs to have some hard questions answered by AA and/or John Farrell. Namely why keep Reyes in the rotation? Are you serious about winning this season? Why not move Reyes to the bullpen? What if Reyes stinks up the joint in his next start?
Other than not losing Reyes I don't really understand this decision.
