3) The Dodgers called up P Aaron Sele, placed P Odalis Perez on the we feel like getting an extra roster spot list and moved P Yhency Brazoban from the 15 to the 60 day DL.

Officially, Perez is on the “bereavement list.” But, someone needs to buy MLB a dictionary, or at least tell them about http://www.m-w.com. Bereavement means mourning over death. In the past week, Blue Jays P Scott Downs mourned over the “death” of his daughter, who was merely sick, before her “dead body” must have come back to life. Now, Perez is “mourning” over the “dead body” of his mother, who is merely in the hospital.

There is a reason why there are different words for “dead child” and “sick child” and “dead mother” and “sick mother.” Sometimes, there are different words because there are merely synonyms. But, it is often the case that there are different words because they are antonyms. This is clearly a case of the latter.

There is a very simple way to eliminate this mockery. Require actual mourning. Force the team to get a casket, put the “dead” child into it, put it into the middle of the clubhouse and force him/her to sleep in it for a full day while everyone else in the room acts as though it was a wake. Make it very clear–if you want your player to “bereave” then make him bereave and you’ll instantly put an end to this.

The 2006 edition of the Complete Baseball Encyclopedia is available and is now shipping.

“Lee Sinins’ Complete Encyclopedia is best reason yet developed to own a computer. I think I must own a copy of every baseball encyclopedia there is or ever was, and occasionally I find that I still need to pull out one of the others, but not very often; the Complete Encyclopedia covers 97% of my needs. Whether I’m working or playing, calculating or daydreaming, the Complete Encyclopedia pops up to help out. I turn it on in the morning; I turn it off when the house is on fire. Otherwise, I’m using it.”–Bill James
