Arbelo's Award and a Roster Move

I have been one busy Media Relations Director today.

First, I sent out a press release about a roster move.  Then, I received notification that Yazy Arbelo was awarded Midwest League Hitter of the Week, so that resulted in another press release. 

The full releases can be found on www.silverhawks.com, or you can just read below for a summary:

First of all, the award is no surprise for Arbelo, who hit .455 with three homers and seven RBIs over the past week.  It's the first weekly award for a Silver Hawks player this season.

Secondly, the roster move is as follows:

RHP Tyler Green activated from DL
RHP Chris Odegaard promoted to Visalia
RHP Enrique Burgos sent to extended spring training camp
RHP Gregory Robinson joins team from extended spring training camp

Analysis:  Green getting healthy and Burgos going back to extended spring training was planned all along.  Burgos was just here to fill the gap until Green was healthy again.  On the other side of the move, Odegaard gets a chance to go back to Visalia again.  He struggled there to start the season, but tossed 7.2 scoreless innings with the Hawks.  Robinson was good last season in Yakima, and he joins the already solid bullpen.
