Roster Moves: 6/13/2008

Per the Harrisburg Senators press release:

"Roster moves: RHP Luis Atilano transferred to Potomac; RHPs Adrian
Alaniz and Adam Carr added from Potomac."


I can understand the swap of Atilano for Alaniz. Alaniz has been 'lights out' at Potomac this season going 9-0 with a 2.62 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 12 starts. Atilano needs to spend some time at Potomac before getting a real shot at Harrisburg (maybe next season).

Moving Carr doesn't make sense (to me) at this point. He has been roughed up at Potomac this season. He has a 3-4 record, with only 5 saves in 21 games. His ERA has ballooned to 6.15 this season compared to only 1.78 last season. I can understand a player needing a push but I don't agree with this move at all. Carr’s season has been reminiscent of Zinicola’s sophomore jinx last season. Zinicola has rebounded nicely this season; wonder if that had anything to do with spending a full season at Potomac last year…..
