The Cavalli Has Arrived (delayed until 2025) - Cade Cavalli

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Alvarez requires adding him to the 40 man roster.

[Natsinpwc]

Too much of a coincidence.

Question is, who do they turn to when the next arm goes down

Call Paolo Espino.

[Natsinpwc]

So now I’m reading that the Japanese guy is making his debut tomorrow. Will they both pitch?

[Slateman]

Apparently Cavalli has to wait until the 20th to come up?

Can you post where you read this please?

[Slateman]

On reddit. Shinnosuke Ogasawara getting called up

[Slateman]

It's now been 7 days since his last starts, in which he only made it 3 innings

Grant said on his podcast that the trainers came out for Cavalli during his last start. Hes currently slated to start on Tuesday

[NatsLSU]

Can we can this thread like Davey and Rizzo soon?

3.2 IP, 7 ER. 2 hits, 2 walks, to strikeouts. 86 pitches.

On the one hand, he threw 86 pitched. On the other hand ... ugh

And Sykora is hurting

And Sykora is hurting

I mean, that should be expected at this point

Saw a tweet that he was throwing his cutter a lot more than usual last night, maybe just working on something?

[Elvir Ovcina]

2 years / 171 days is what i saw on x if he stays up the rest of the year.

There's also the Super Two cutoff to be concerned about, at least in theory.  That's usually somewhere around 2.120 - so he's pretty close to it and would likely hit it if he comes back any sooner than September - but I can't see what use a fourth arb year would be to him.  I mean, what's he going to say in an arb hearing to justify getting any more than MLB minimum?

he could say he was a hard thrower with a projectable build and an injury history in college  that made him a high pick.

[welch]

If Cavalli is fit to pitch in the majors, if, then Super Two and arbitration do not matter.

[Slateman]

5 innings, 4 hits, 3 walks, 7 strikeouts, 2 runs (1 earned). 81 pitches.

[imref]

He’s ready.

[welch]

Bring him up. Enough of this garbage rotation, Gore to Gore to Gore.

I think someone said we need to wait until at least the 20th to avoid something or other...

That Super Two stuff is baloney. Foolish. The pitching is dead. Put Lord into the rotation, bring up Cavalli, and send Parker someplace to learn to pitch. Parker had a dismal minor league record. He is here by accident plus hope. Find a few more veteran relievers, guys like Chafin or Old Luis Garcia.

And find a manager to scare the young players awake.

It's not Super 2. If he comes up before a certain date, we lose a year of control on on the back end.
