SnakeBytes 5/18: Roster Moves Edition

Okay, pretty busy 24 hours. I don't think many of us were surprised to hear about Galarraga or Bloomquist, but Burroughs? That caught me off-guard.

Recaps:

• [DBacks.com] Hudson continues resurgence for D-backs - Hey, remember how some stuff happened before the news about Galarraga went down? Yeah, Daniel Hudson pitched a pretty good game. Not great, but he was very solid when the Padres put runners in scoring position.

• [FS Arizona] D-backs' Hudson makes the adjustment - Hudson adapted well to what the Padres were doing- it was nice to see.

• [AZ Central] Gerardo Parra, Daniel Hudson lead Arizona Diamondbacks past San Diego Padres - Of course, it's hard to refer to a one run inning as a rocky first inning, but after what we were used to seeing from Huddy last year, I guess it's true.

Previews:

• [DBacks.com] Back for more, Teheran makes spot start in Arizona - Teheran may be one of the future stars of the Braves, so it'll be interesting to see if he lives up to the hype.

• [Miami Herald] Atlanta Braves (25-19) at Arizona Diamondbacks (18-23) - We'll also see Martin Prado, who was the NL player of the week last week, and not a recurring character on the third season of Dexter. Sorry about that mix-up.

• [FS Arizona] Today on FOX Sports Arizona: D-backs vs. Braves, 6 p.m. - Meanwhile, we'll see turn to Joe Saunders and hope he can remember what it takes to provide the "winzz", as the kids say.

DBacks News:

• [Baseball Nation] Joe Saunders Still Winless, But Just Part Of Big Trade - Hard to remember sometimes, but important.

• [DBacks Venom] Armando Galarraga DFA'd; Will Wes Roemer get the 5th Starter Spot? - With the recent roster moves, I have to wonder- can Sean Burroughs pitch? Or maybe Josh Wilson gets the start?

• [AZ Central] Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson's All-Star Game participation would make late father proud - Gibby turned down the opportunity to play in the All Star Game twice, to his father's disappointment.

• [DBacks.com] Barry M. Bloom: Melvin's rehire is echo of the past - Sounds like a good summary of it. Between BoMel and Gonzo, we have to two guys in the front office with somewhat nebulous roles.

Around Baseball:

• [USA Today] Rainouts wracking baseball, but do some teams jump the gun? - The Nationals postponed a game on Tuesday morning- which sort of backfired, since Tuesday's afternoon's weather was apparently lovely. Seems a little pre-emptive to me.

• [Yahoo Sports] Nationals GM: Harper won't make majors this year - Oh, fine, I guess I'll wait until next year before I start posting your bi-weekly Bryce.

• [Baseball Nation] Developing Young Starting Pitchers Isn't Impossible ... But It's Close - An interesting perspective, and why, I suppose, people say "there's no such thing as a pitching prospect."

• [Big League Stew] Dodgers fans ask Mark Cuban to please buy their team - Dear Mark Cuban- You'd rather buy the Mets.
