He's been terrible in his 3 starts since returning. Now that we know there was an injury, the time off makes sense. But, something isn't working. Whether he's not 100%, or he's working on new mechanics, whatever it is, something isn't right.

I'm thinking at this point, the AFL will be needed just to approach last year's work total. With his age, size, and stuff, he could reach the bigs in the 2nd half of the year next year. We don't want him on a 100ip limit because he only went 70ip this year.

Rather he get it now then when we actually want him to pitch MLB innings

imref · « **Reply #81 on:** September 21, 2023, 11:54:15 am »

sucks for him, but i guess it's a rite of passage. Hopefully he's able to contribute in 2025 out of the pen or as a rotation piece.

I think Theodoric of York or Benny Hill could provide better health care.

welch · « **Reply #83 on:** April 04, 2024, 01:52:08 pm »

No news later than this, which says he will be ready for Spring Training, 2025.

Hey! I remember that name!

Interested to see his early returns. Here's to hoping for the best.

welch · « **Reply #87 on:** April 04, 2025, 04:04:32 pm »

I went looking for him. He is active, and is supposed to be on the Blue Rocks. Can't find him on the roster, however. Not on any minor league roster, either. Maybe they left him in Florida?

imref · « **Reply #88 on:** April 05, 2025, 01:54:44 pm »

Yet to be assigned per blanco.

went 3 innings in a rehab start in F-burg. 4 hits 1 run (earned) with 0 BB and 4 Ks. 46 pitches, 34 strikes. Sounds pretty close to ready.

A little confused as to his status. He's listed as being on the IL on his player page, but last made a start on 6/26 and I haven't seen any news about him being newly placed on the IL since then so

welch · « **Reply #99 on:** July 01, 2025, 07:30:02 pm »

Scheduled to pitch tomorrow night for Wilimington against Jersey Shore. Game at 5:05 pm
