It was a very difficult decision for the Brewers management team to make, but it was decided today to send Ruben Souffront down to AAA Chester to clear his head and hopefully re-find his hitting stroke.
James Jackson was brought up to take his spot on the roster. Pat Rondeau will be taking over the lion's share of rightfield duties at this point. Rondeau has earned the opportunity with his potent bat this season and as always Rondeau is a tremendous fielder (a definite upgrade over Souffront in this area). Rondeau is also very nearly Souffront's equal as a base-stealer and base-runner.
Jackson provides the team with a little needed righthanded power off the bench and is a solid fielder on the corners in the outfield.
Only time will tell how long it will be before Souffront returns to the Brewers or what his future with the organization looks like.
