Off of Scout.com or something, it says Gillies activated and Brandon Pinckney was released. It may mean that Ozzie Chavez plays 2B and Overbeck 3rd and Bozied, Rizzotti, Mahar play 1st. Or it may mean Bozied stays at 3B, Overbeck to 2B and Ozzie is MI back-up . Or it might mean Harold Garcia moves up to play 2B, Overbeck 3B and 3 guys at 1B. Then one of the new Draftees they will/have signed goes to Clearwater. Or it might mean a lot of things or not much.

Overbeck went up as a result of the Paul Hoover injury for LVIP. Went up when Suomi was promoted..They have usual number of position players. I hope Overbeck will play 3B and not be Bozied’s caddy. Bozied likely to 1B, and when Tyson GIllies returns, supposedly any day now, they will likely have to move one of their now 3 1B’s Rizzotti, Bozied , or Mahar. I guess Mahar. I suppose if they wanted to, they could use Mahar as OF reserve and move Spidale, but a reserve OF who plays CF should be better. I would hope if they promote a 3B before the end of the season, It would be Cody Ransom, not Overbeck. Likewise they would likely take the 1B from LVIP, Andy Tracy for any fill in role, ahead of Rizzotti.

Bellman, I don’t know what’s going to happen with Bozied, but he is not going to play over Overbeck or Rizzoti. Regarding Riz, I looked at the last ten games and Riz started nine of them, 5 at 1B and 4 at DH. He’s an everyday player and I doubt his playing time will go down due to Overbeck being promoted and Bozied now needing somewhere to play. Considering that Riz and Overbeck are both 24 and Bozied turns 31 next month, my guess is Bozied will likely find himself learning the OF or spending more time on the bench. I don’t think the Phils want to promote younger guys to AA only to see them play 2/3 of the time.

I feel bad for Bozied since he’s been raking in May and June, but I suppose that’s the life of a long-time minor leaguer.
