    Hoffman didn't throw a ball in the strike zone in that whole AB...

    Jenkins has a considerably better K% and BB% than Sabato, he's just not hitting for power quite yet. I don't think he's "demanding" a spot at this point, but I think he's getting close. With an almost 30% K rate... Right, that will decrease his trade value, but still, I think one of those teams would bite at the opportunity to buy low on a top 100 prospect. And he'd be part of a trade package.

    ERod is finally back at AAA after missing about 3 months, but even when the rust is knocked off, he was striking out at a 29.4% clip there. He's gonna look like Fedko if called up now. There's no chance of DFA'ing him and getting him back next year if they don't want him on the 26 man roster, so they will either have to start playing him in the majors or include him as part of a trade package in an offseason trade. Personally, I would move him while teams still consider him a top 100 prospect. There have been opportunities to call him up previously and get a look at him (they were burning an option year regardless) and the Twins passed... and in the midst of trying to tread water, I don't think they're going to give him a chance in the next few weeks. Maybe we see him cameo in September.

    Given he went 3 innings last time and 4 innings yesterday, seems like they are working on him as a starter. Just getting a bit late in the season to be ramping up...

    He's 32 now, was a 28 year old rookie for us. Didn't look very good in his first few outings, then got moved. Another lesson on being patient on young guys with plus stuff...

    IMO he made the decision now because Kyler needs every rep he can get with the 1s. To be fair to him, even Kirk and Sam had some rough practices in their first season learning KOC's system. It's too early to panic, but also disconcerting that Kyler was not separating himself from JJM...

    You just know we're going to win 8-9 games again, not be good enough to make the playoffs / or win a playoff game, but also not have a high enough pick in a deep QB class.

    I'd give the Castro trade a higher grade, I am willing to bet one of Armstrong or Gallagher breaks through as a reliever in the majors eventually. That would be a great return for 2 months of Willi Castro.

    Hard to know if it's legit or not, based on two weeks of practice. What I do know is that O'Connell rarely ever uses formations with 4 WRs and Jennings is locked in as the WR3. So add in 2TE sets with Hock and Oliver getting a lot of snaps and spending a 5th rounder on a FB, I don't see Felton getting on the field much without an injury to a WR ahead of him.

    I'm sorry, the Orioles only have one more loss than we do? Not after tonight, but geez, they're getting boatraced.

    Worth noting, he might get a 4th option year for missing so much time due to injuries.
  15. Danchat
    Rodriguez is still rehabbing in the low minors, he hasn't faced AAA pitching since May 1st. Given this is his 3rd year on the 40 man roster, I don't believe that service time would factor into this. Gonzalez had a foot injury on Thursday, but otherwise has been overmatched at AAA. I don't think he's a good enough prospect to be worried about his service time.
  16. Danchat
    Uffda!
  17. Danchat
    I was pretty much out on Clemens this April, to be fair.
  18. Danchat
    Culpepper wasn't dominating either and also didn't need to be added to the 40 man for another year, so why him and not Jenkins?
  19. Danchat
    Still feels like this game might end with the score being 11-10... let's see if the pen holds up.
  20. Danchat
    Wow, they are getting runs in bunches now. Lewis is red-hot again.
  21. Danchat
    The pen has been upgraded, time to stop letting our starters get into sticky messes like this. Zebby isn't fooling this lineup, get a middle reliever in there now.
  22. Danchat
    Yeah, that weight was probably from years ago. He's pretty chunky now. Funnily enough, his first inning was by far his worst, but I do agree. Seems like they've run out of starters at AAA so they're having the likes of Culepper and Mike Bowman go 3 innings at a time. More of a way to get the pitching staff through the game rather than ideal development of the players.
  23. Danchat
    Picking nits here, but most of that came from the 48 point game against a decrepit Bengals team, they didn't cross 22 points in any other game with Wentz. Not to mention Isaiah Rodgers accounted for 14 of those 48 points on defense. That might go into why Wentz didn't get a QB2 deal out on the free agent market. Kyler has a history of feeding his top receiver plenty of targets, so I think it's safe to say Jefferson will rebound.
  24. Danchat
    Joe Ryan placed on the 15 day IL, Kaelen Culpepper has been called up (40 man move yet to be announced). Fangraphs states that Zebby Matthews is expected to be called up, so another 26 man move will be needed.
  25. Danchat
    I finally got to go to a Saints game, and I just so happened to be filming when Jenkins popped off with HR #2: I also have a video of Culpepper whiffing on a low pitch, he chased 2 or 3 pitches below the zone. Not a great day at the plate for him. Not mentioned in the article was Gabriel Gonzalez got injured in a collision at 1B, tagging the runner out was the only play but he plowed into him and he took the brunt of the damage. Not very impressed by the pitching, Culpepper had a bad first inning and Acton / Orze looked very questionable.
