Dodgers Promote Three From Albuquerque: Jerry Sands, Tim Federowicz, John Ely

in Los Angeles Dodgers Roster

With the season of the Triple A Albuquerque Isotopes now over, the Dodgers added three players to the active roster on Tuesday. The Dodgers recalled outfielder / first baseman Jerry Sands, and pitcher John Ely from Albuquerque. In addition, as reported Monday night, the Dodgers purchased the contract of catcher Tim Federowicz, adding him to the 40-man roster, per Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times.
To make room for Federowicz on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred Vicente Padilla to the 60-day disabled list.
Sands has hit 66 home runs across all levels in the last two seasons, including two in a 41-game stint with the Dodgers earlier this year. Sands was optioned back to Triple A on June 9, and worked with hitting coach John Valentin to make adjustments to his swing. He hit 12 home runs in his final 33 games with the Isotopes, including four on the road.
Ely returns for his fourth stint this season with the Dodgers, having only appeared in a total of two games in his first three turns in the majors this season. Ely, who made 18 starts in 2010 with the Dodgers, has a 6.06 ERA in 38 starts in Triple A over the last two years (with a FIP somewhere in between 4.78 and 4.88, for those scoring at home). Ely last pitched on September 2, and figures to pitch in long relief for the Dodgers.
Jamie Hoffmann and Ivan DeJesus are two Isotopes who are on the 40-man roster who did not get the call to the majors, at least not yet.
The Dodgers now have 33 players on the active roster: 17 position players and 16 pitchers, though that number includes Casey Blake, who was not placed on the disabled list but is out for the season with a neck injury.

If John Ely becomes 2008 Jeff Weaver for the next 3 years, that trade gets even winninger looking.
@RB_GScott
Maybe
are you saying in John Ely can become a spot starter/long man that Weaver converted to in his 9th/10th year in the majors, then the Ely/Link trade for Pierre becomes even better.
If so, I can’t see it, Weaver for one had MLB success and Ely has not shown he could be successful unless he hits all of his spots.
Screw Occam

by Hollywood Joe on Sep 6, 2011 12:58 PM PDT up reply actions
Weaver was a guy who could throw 3-4 innings of relief, start occassionally if need per injuries, and wasn’t all that spectacular at it, but had value. He averaged an 89mph fastball over his last several years, similar to Ely’s (to the naked eye anyway, as fangraphs lists him at 87.4 last year).
Yes, I’m asking if John Ely peaks as end-career Jeff Weaver, does the trade get better, worse or remain unchanged in perception now as opposed to when it happened.
@RB_GScott
The high point of the trade
was the day it was announced since it meant the end of the Juan Pierre’s time as a Dodger.
wasn't elymania the high point of the trade??
you know before it ended.
Actually
my point is more, I don’t see why you would choose Weaver who only did it well for one year. Dana Eveland would seem to be a more likely candidate since he is lefthanded and has shown more than Ely has in the minors (recent minors that is).
There is no point to be made really, I’m wondering if Ely reaching his lowest MLB potential would be a good thing, a disappointment, or wouldn’t register at all.
@RB_GScott
wouldn't
register at all. Since it will still come back to why did they sign Pierre in the first place?

Best — easily the Game 7 against the Blazers, not only was it a wild comeback when a historic season seemed doomed, but it was the first time a team I rooted for was going to win a championship ( I was cautiously optimistic the Pacers would just be easy prey and the Finals anti-climactic, I was right).
Worst — 2009 Rollins, Broxton, it’s all been said. I was just happy to be there in 2008, especially happy that I watched Game 3 of the NLDS in a bar surrounded by shocked Cubs fans who thought their year had finally come. I remember one lady afterward said, "the Dodgers came out of nowhere!"…but 2009 was the year I had expectations of finally getting to a WS, I figured the Dodgers would have the odds on their side for the second straight NLCS with Philly. The fact that my family roots for the Phillies made it marginally worse.
Best game — Italy over Germany in Berlin, 2006 WC semis, Grosso and Del Piero with two magical goals in overtime to sink the home side. I was running around that restaurant like a madman.
Overqualified in an underqualified world since 2008.
Is it bad
that while it was annoying, I appreciate the highs on the last 5 seasons of the Dodgers more than bothered by the lows.

Being a lifelong Dodgers/Lakers fan, it’s interesting to now be an object of pity when I talk to people from out of town. Previously, the Dodgers were kind of just non-offensive (with a possible sideline during the Manny years from Boston fans) but now it’s like someone in my family died when the Dodgers come up in conversation. The exact opposite of being a Lakers fan.
What’s worse is that a lot of people seem to think they’re historically bad, when we’re just in 3rd place.

Relative humidity is not an accurate measurement of how "wet" the air is
RH is a function of the number of grains of moisture in the air divided by the moisture carrying capacity of the air at that particular temperature. The hotter the temperature, the more moisture the air can hold without releasing it as rain. In other words, 75 degrees with 75% relative humidity is substantially drier than 100 degrees with 60% relative humidity.

Is it a matter of locker room space? Because seriously, at least to have another late inning sub option, he seems like he would have value to this team.
