happ still on the teeterboard

Last Friday while Cliff Lee was debuting in San Francisco, Carlos Carrasco was making his first start as a Columbus Clipper vs. Pedro Martinez, pitching a rehab assignment for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Talk about weird. I'd forgotten that the Clippers, now the Indians' Triple-A team, were in town. Marson and Donald, however, did not play in the game. Oh, and Carrasco won. I wonder when he will start for the Indians.

A big part of last week's trade was that J.A. Happ stayed with the club. He's been in ways the best starter on the staff but is still likely to end up in the bullpen. Ouch. Tonight in Reading Pedro is making what could be his final rehab appearance. If and when he joins the big club, something's got to give.

Brett Myers, meanwhile, is scheduled to throw a simulated game tomorrow in Thursday.
