Dodgers Recall DeWitt, Hu

PrintThe Dodgers have added to their bench today, recalling infielders Blake DeWitt and Chin-Lung Hu from Triple A Albuquerque. The Isotopes' season ended on Friday night when they were eliminated by Memphis in the first round of the PCL playoffs.
This is DeWitt's sixth stint with the Dodgers this season. DeWitt, who started all eight Dodger playoff games at second base last season, has five hits in 32 at-bats with the big club in 2009.
This is Hu's first time with the Dodgers this season. Hu hit .294/.332/.393 in Albuqeurque this season.
This is a formality more than anything, but the fact that DeWitt and Hu were recalled means they can't be among the PTBNL candidates to complete the Jon Garland trade. That player will still almost certainly be Tony Abreu, but officially the Diamondbacks won't choose the player from the list provided by the Dodgers until October 15. DeWitt and Hu being on the roster eliminates them from consideration since a player to be named later can't play in the same league he is traded to in between the time of the trade and the time he is named.
The Dodgers now have 34 players on the active roster.

strike two names from the PTBNL list.
Assuming the player is on the 40 man roster, I’d say its Leach, Abreu, Schlichting, Wade, or Lucas May.
Darkhorse is Paul Xavier.
How is ERA+ caculated?
park factors don’t take into effect until after the season. And the Dodgers larger amount of innings over the Giants should be helpful to their ERA+ ranking.
Innings don’t matter. Baseball-Reference uses 2-year park factors for seasons in progress, and 3-year PF besides that:
Historically, B-R has been using single-year park factors for recent years and 3-year park factors historically. I have changed that to now use 3-year factors by default for all years. Of course, the current season is only really a 2-year factor. The current year and last year. This can lead to some big changes in the numbers, from what had been on the site.

ERA+ = 100*(lgERA/ERA), and adjusted to ballpark

CF Torres
2B Sanchez
LF Winn
3B Sandoval
RF Schierholtz
SS Uribe
1B Ishikawa
C Whiteside
P Penny
Whiteside starting over Posey
just sheer madness.

House money
Manny and O-Dog are sitting today, per the pregame show, but I haven’t seen the full lineup yet.
Torre mentioned he is struggling, and that’s why he’s sitting.
Hudson only has 50 more incentive PA left. He’s have to miss about 6 more games, besides today, to not hit all those.

Sanchez shows that he'll have a better career than Palmer
He’s absolutely incredible for a rookie. It’s Matt Ryan all over again.

Phils have 2 doubleheaders left, including today, and 2 off days.
Dodgers and Cards each have 3 off days left.
