Holland released, Fry called up, Moncada activated.

Baseball-wise, it made no sense to keep throwing him out there except to help the team lose, and I don't think they consciously want to do that, even though at this point, it probably is the better option. Although Covey is the same thing, with Beck. Fry probaby will be a gas can. Holberg will start, go 3 or 4 innings ....

 

Give Holland a extra month off, and maybe someone gives him a chance next year.

Finally over. The tank season couldn't have happened without his contributions but maaaaaaaan was it hard to watch

The incredible thing was he was really good for a little while, then was about as bad as can be for about as long as you will ever see on a major league team before he got the boot. Even tanking teams pull the plug a little faster.

Holland was a good clubhouse presence and didn't blame anyone but himself. He wasn't going to be here next year so his release makes baseball sense. I have concerns about Beck and Pelfrey also

 

Whats there to be concerned about? Neither will be on the team next season.

Merkin thinks that's it for additional call ups

 

A little surprised no Goldberg. Other than that, not too surprising. I thought it was possible Danish would get a look out of the pen, but with his car accident, less surprising (even if injuries are indeed minor).

Doesn't seem like the org is even concerned with 2018 draft position much.

 

Because they released Holland?

 

The Sox bullpen is still horrific. They're going to lose plenty of games. Top 4 pick is a lock, but Tigers coming on fast. Still think they'll finish with #3 pick.

Holland's ERA on June 1 was 2.37.

 

9.32 after.

Yes. It probably was the worst 3 month stretch a starting pitcher ever had without being yanked from the rotation for the White Sox.

 

Jaime Navarro might have been worse overall. I do recall a game when he gave up 8 or 9 runs that he actually complained about run support. But I doubt he had a stretch that bad that long.
