Pearce to DL; Walker up

Neil Walker is getting called up. He will take Pearce's spot on the roster as Pearce hurt his ankle in last night's game. Lord willing Walker will start tonight at second base. Aki is going no where fast, and why sit the very hot Walker. Still, the Pirates management sat Pearce, who was hot when he came up, for a couple of games before getting him in there. So don't count on logic making a difference. Walker can surely hit .150 like Aki is doing now. Add in the fact that Aki's defence is not great, I don't see the problem.

This should be the start of some major moves. June will see Tabata and Lincoln up, hopefully earlier considering outing Burres and Karstens had last night. I have trouble seeing Tabata come up with Milledge and Church still on the team. I hope that trade talks are underway for one of them. I expect Church has greater value right now. Lincoln then I expect to be the first one up as Burres can be sent down without much problem.
