Why the wait?

I went to the game on Friday and noticed that the Indians had recalled Ramon Vazquez. But what really caught my eye was that he was starting at third base the day after Boone's 3 error performance against the Yankees. It just seems to me that Shapiro is thinking Boone is all of a sudden outhit Marte by a wide margin sometime this season. Marte may have 18 errors in Buffalo, but Boone has yet to impress me defensively either. Three errors in one game shoulda been the hurdle Shapiro needed to use to call up Marte and do what is best for the club...release Aaron Boone.

Atleast the game on Friday was the one worth going to over the weekend with excellent performances from the offense (nice to see Guitierez get 3 hits) and the complete game shutout from Sabathia.
