Update:
De La Rosa called up from Durham: RHP Dane De La Rosa has been called up from Triple-A Durham to take RHP Josh Lueke’s spot in the pen.
………………
In a tweet from Marc Topkin (below) the news was made official; Tampa Bay is calling up fastball pitcher, Dane De La Rosa, from AAA Durham. Who they may be sending down is in question, though I suspect that it may be Josh Lueke. That’s speculation as of now, but the question stands: why the hell was Lueke on the roster in lieu of De La Rosa in the first place?
#Rays choice for call-up from Triple-A is RHP Dane De La Rosa. Made big-league debut last season.
Another question to ask is why the hell is vogt on this major league roster….. Feliciano is far more superior and better in all aspects….
To be honest, I have no clue why Salazar didn’t get the call-up in the first place. Between he and Feliciano, Salazar has better numbers and more experience. He’s got a better arm too. Nevertheless, Vogt had a better spring, and I think he got brought up because he’s primarily a catcher, and it offered them more bench depth at that position. Unfortunately, with the problems with Lobaton at the moment, I think Vogt stays up…for the time being at least.
