Somehow I missed the fact that Tracy Thorpe was not on the Chiefs roster. At least the next pitcher to get injured will cause Machi to most likely be designated (not a Chiefs player), since that's about all that's left on the 40 man.
I wonder where our "help" is from New Hampshire... Going by the amazing decisions of Dick Scott and JP Riccardi, Syracuse may get to 23 players within a week....please note my sarcasm. Expect a little utilized Dunedin infielder (Al Quintana a likely candidate) to join Syracuse within the next day or 2. Sadly, that's a serious prediction by me.

Bud Peliquin recently wrote a kind of pointless article for the Post-Standard that put an odd spotlight on Thorpe as the only African-American on the Chiefs roster. My first thought was that Thorpe could be moved up or down the Jays chain within hours of its publication, so it was dumb to choose him as a subject for any feature.
My second thought was that the story should have been about his consistently awful relief numbers. Nothing against Thorpe as a person, but as a player he was an unreliable part of the bullpen for a few years now.
This demotion good news if we can get some of that help from the lower levels. We'll need a stronger bullpen to keep these wins coming.
