So here's the newest latest and the band of brothers in the bullpen:
Randy Wells gets sent back to Chicago: Thanks for your time, but you're just not what we're looking for.
Brian Wolfe goes to the DL: Somehow, you had to figure that one arm was going to get mangled in the first month of the season, and after pitching three times in four days, Wolfe blew his tricep.
But most importantly, David Purcey gets the call!!: We know we shouldn't get overly excited about a few early season Triple-A stats, but still, a 1.89 ERA and a 21/6 K to BB ratio in 19 innings is nothing to sneeze at. The baldfaced speculation has Purcey taking the mound on Friday, with last night's late night losing pitcher Dougie Burnett* getting moved to Saturday.
Now the only question is who gets to carry the Dora the Explorer bag o' treats out to the bullpen.
(*NB: We think we might start calling A.J. Burnett "Dougie" or "Gord", because we believe it will make him a more relatable, cuddly figure to Canadian sports fans.)

I was wondering the same thing, except I always thought it was a Winnie the Pooh bag...
I believe in last night's radio broadcast, they pegged Purcey as they guy holding the bag.
