Phils acquire AAA pitcher Mazone; callup forthcoming?

The Phillies have acquired minor league pitcher Brian Mazone from the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team confirmed. Mazone is a former Phillies farmhand, and the move could very well be intended to plug a hole in the Lehigh Valley rotation if/when Carlos Carrasco, Drew Carpenter or Rodrigo Lopez is recalled to start Thursday or Friday or whenever they decide to use a youngster. I wouldn't be surprised by an announcement on that later today. Mazone, 32, is 0-1 with an 8.44 ERA in triple-A this season.

Ok gentlemen, back to reality, cause Thursday's pitcher has just been announced and iiiiiit's......J.A. Happ. Now they're saying the mystery pitcher has been pushed back to Friday, against the Mutts.

A career minor leaguer with an ERA over 8. Yikes, Ruben is picking up Ed Wade's traits, not Pat Gillick's.

Plus Costanza would get kicked out of the locker room for peeing in the showers.

I wonder where Ruben got the idea to sign Mazzone. This is the kind of goofy move Ed Wade used to make.

Man from the headline I thought we had picked up someone's top minor league prospect and were ready to add him to the starting rotation. What a letdown.
