Well, so much for that

After barely giving him a chance (14 AB), the Padres demoted Jon Knott to AAA to make room for reliever Ricky Stone. This is just a crap move. Stone has been a decent enough pitcher in his career, but he’s got a 5.68 ERA this year and is basically just a run-of-the-mill middle reliever. Meanwhile, Knott could put up an .870 OPS if somebody would just give him an opportunity.
