DFA to Breslow

[Brandon Warne]

 

Sometimes, you stumble on a guy you never expected. Right place, right time in his career, etc. He has vastly disappointed in his brief trial with the Twins as a starter, but I find myself intrigued by Turley nonetheless. His control at the ML level has been poor, to say the least. And there is a big difference between AAA and the Majors...but still...he shows decent enough velocity with a potentially good/very good curve, could another shot, a different role in the bullpen, lead to a a real find? I'd really like to find out.

 

200% agree. Even as a long guy with potential to ascend, he should get another shot.

Three months ago, Turley was AA org filler, now he's gotten a few starts in the majors and remains on the 40-man. My guess is that org filler guys don't get the same coaching. It's been only three months, so there's been a lot to learn, and he seems to be bouncing back. I have to imagine he'll be back to the majors and more successful the second time.

He's not taking a train. He can be in Los Angeles tonight.

he needs someone to ride hard and put away wet. Haley needs to come up and be on the immediate schedule

[RichReese]

There you go

he needs someone to ride hard and put away wet.

 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

There you go

the point is, if you wear out Haley you are continuing to be hamstrung because he can't be sent to the minors

[beckmt]

Molitor will be shorthanded tonight, and they bring up 2 relievers, 1 move has been made would need a second to bring up 2.

[Kwak]

"Short start"?  Why?--to save his arm for another game?!  Let him pitch until he says:  "That's it.  I quit--forever."

[Squirrel]

I seem to recall years ago Breslow saying that if /when his career in baseball was over, he would think about going to medical school. That was quite a while ago ... I wonder if he has those same thoughts.
