Transactions

Couple of roster moves everyone should be aware of...

Obviously yesterday we activated A-Rod from the 15 day DL.
Then Jose Molina was put on the 15 day DL with a strained left quad.
We sent Mark Melancon back to triple A, and called up Kevin Cash to the major league squad.
To make room for Cash on the 40 man roster we DFA'd Steven Jackson.

Today we optioned David Robertson to triple A and brought Brett Tomko up to the bigs.
We DFA'd Erick Hacker to make room on the 40 man for Tomko.

And Ian Kennedy is going to have surgery because of an aneurysm. Our hearts are with him.

What I don't understand is why Angel Berroa still has a 40 man spot. Ramiro Pena is better than Berroa. And when Ransom gets healthy he's better than Angel too. Berroa can't hit, field, or run. Why does this man still have a roster spot? I'd much rather have Steven Jackson on the roster.

I also don't understand why Berroa is on the active roster. Couldn't that spot be better occupied by Juan Miranda? At least he can hit...
