Friends, fear not. The bottom of the bullpen churn will continue in some fashion.

Listen, Robert wasn’t deserving of a major league deal. He works well as minor league depth, someone who has had at least a modicum of success at the major league level. Having those kinds of players at Lehigh Valley has value, so why not bring him back.

It’ll add more players in case the team wants to do different things later on in the season. Maybe an injury, maybe a trade, maybe a release. At least they’ll have players to help in those case.
