With a 'lightheadedness' diagnosis, we could have easily put Carpenter on the short-term concussion DL and freed up a bench spot. We definitely should get rid of Choate to get us back to 12 relievers and actually have a viable bench.
Yeah, it's hard to maintain top shelf play, it's even harder when you're dedicating roster spots to Choate, Kozma and Cruz while also not using resources available like the 7-day DL to help get some additional reserves to the bench.
I still can't believe we have a bench with no lefties on it. How the hell does that happen?
