Should the Twins DL Neshek and promote Slama?

Neyer examines the case to promote Slama ahead of Delaney, despite the issues with the 40 man roster. I just like the idea of two Nesheks. I don't care how much Slama profiles like Neshek, there is only ever going to be one Neshek. Or does Slama have a blog, too? ....

Slama has 13 K's in 8 IP so far in Rochester

Patrick Reusse:: “Front office has balked at DL stint for [Pat] Neshek. One reason: Unwillingness to give manager his preferred pitcher — Anthony Slama.”

Yay to promoting Slama

Nay to DL’in Neshek. I read last night that he threw a bullpen session and Gardy indicates he’s feeling a bit better.

Who would Slama replace on the 40 man roster?

No one

That’s why he hasn’t been promoted.

Walks

Unless they get desperate with injuries or general ineffectiveness from the pen, I would be surprised if he gets a call. He is still have problems with giving out free passes in AAA. I would half expect him to get traded before he gets a promotion. He will probably be a very good reliever but he doesn’t seem to fit with the Twins philosophy.

right choice

At looks like the clubhouse made the right move (or non-move) Neshak looked great yesterday although I’m as anxious as all of you to see Slama in the bigs.
