It's still a top system...

LaStella played for 2 AB last Wednesday, got pulled mid-game,
sat for three games, returned yesterday. I think he played the
whole game yesterday, and now he's playing again today.
(2-for-2 thus far today, 4-for-8 thus far.) With Russell able
to cover SS, LaStella might be an interesting alternative to
Herrera. Although I think Maddon loves Hererra, so there's no
urgency.

Not sure if Pierce Johnson will pitch into the 7th, and if so
maybe he'll give up some runs then.
But a funny think on his "last ten games" stats summary is that
he's allowed exactly one earned run in all but one of his last 8
starts. On the season, he's ten starts, ten earned runs. And
only one of the ten have allowed more than one earned run.
One HR today, only 3K/2BB, so not that exciting a line. But
somehow he seems to keep getting kinda lucky somehow.

Isn't it now about time to move Pierce Johnson up to AAA?

Not when his success is just a result of being kinda lucky
somehow.'

Rubi Silva is funny. Entering today, he was hitting .281.....
with an OBP of .295! 4 unintentional walks in 284 AB.
74:5 K/BB ratio.

Edwards with a 1-walk-1-K inning to save the Iowa victory.
La Stella, in his first back-to-back games, got pulled after 3
PA. Presumably bringing him along slowly, ala spring training.
But could be a promotion, too, I'd imagine. As PR mentioned, if
he was healthy and in a hitting groove, (neither of which is
probably even remotely true presently), having somebody who
could give Castro and Bryant some days off might be helpful.
Both for the offense, since both are struggling so badly. And
perhaps helpful for either one, perhaps a a few days off might
help one of them to get going again.
