MacPhail got it right with Wieters

With the news out of Atlanta today that Jordan Schafer was demoted after beginning this season on the Braves due to an admittedly impressive spring training, I would have to say that MacPhail got it right leaving Matt down in Norfolk for the first two months. I know that when I see prospecting doing well, especially Matusz and Tillman, combined with some of the players we had in the rotation that shall remain nameless, my inclination is to rush them up, but showing patience is the right move. GO O'S.

Koji's spot

I know that they haven't announced who will fill in for Koji's spot on the Thursday, but do we know if they will call up one of the studs from Norfolk, or use Hendrickson in a spot start. Obviously I would love to see them bring up Hernandez, but would making the roster move be too complicated because they don't want to send Koji to the DL, so were stuck with Hendo?

I just heard a quick blurb on the radio here in Philly that Eaton had made some comments that he was a World Champion and deserved the benefit of the doubt for his poor performances to start the season in Baltimore. I was hoping that this was true, seeing as the Phillies cut him in the middle of last season and did not even invite him to the parade after the World Series last fall.
