Hairston to DL, Majewski to Bereavment List
Reds moves
Today the Reds placed on the 15-day disabled list IF Jerry Hairston (broken left thumb), selected from Class AAA Louisville the contract of IF Jolbert Cabrera (#54), placed on the bereavement list RHP Gary Majewski (wife, Melissa, is having a baby) and recalled from Louisville LHP Danny Herrera (#52).
Hairston suffered the injury in the first inning last night at Fla sliding into second base on a steal.
Cabrera (first name pronounced HOLE-bert) has spent the season with the Bats (57g, .288, 16 2b, 5 3b, 4hr, 30rbi, 5sb), where he played OF (18g), 3B (16g) and 1B (12g).
Cabrera has hit 2 of his 4 dingers in the last 10 days, so maybe he is on a hot streak. We will see.

I hope it's not a complicated birth for Melissa
The headline made me think of Gary’s sister’s deadly accident of last year. I was hoping it wasn’t more sadness for that guy.

Hope not
This doesn’t sound like the typical use of the bereavement list. According to Cot’s, the Commissioner must approve and teams can’t use the list “to replace a player who leaves his club for the birth of a child”.

Wow, that's the rule, isn't it.
Well I guess this qualifies under “family emergency” then, doesn’t it? Hopefully this works out for the magic man.

calling jolbert cabrera an infielder is a little disingenuous
he’s a 3B/OF/DH. I don’t really see how he fills the cap left by Hairston at short. I think an all-Phillips middle infield is the emergency failsafe should janish go down, or maybe they think Edwin can play short. Odd.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?

How this went down
“We need a back up shortstop. Hmm. Tell Louisville send us the most Latino sounding guy available.”
And by Phillips and Phillips, do you mean Andy Phillips at short?

as was pointed out last night
i would assume brandon would have to move to short, considering he’s played 5 more games in the bigs at short than andy. by that, i mean he’s played 5 games at short. let’s hope janish doesnt go down in the next few days, because no matter what we’re going to have a non-shortstop at short. i like brandon the most there among him, andy, edwin and jolbert.

That makes sense
But as I pointed out last night, moving Brandon Phillips to shortstop is That Thing Of Which We Do Not Speak.

Since his days with the Alabama Crimson Tide.

I think I just vomited a bit in my mouth.
Might as well bring back Hitler too, while we’re at it.

Whenever I see his name
I always think of Sean Connery confronting John Spencer (RIP) in “The Rock.” “Woh-mack!”
