I think he is being a little Cub-esque as far as his health is concerned. If he says his back is fine, he most likely isn't telling the whole truth. Hopefully it is just a question of building up arm strength, or strength in general. But it doesn't look like he's going to be ready to get major leaguers out for a while.

 

From this former pitcher's point of view, he wasn't throwing as over-the-top as he used to. Thus, his pitchers were flattening out, and it's also why he hasn't been able to throw his splitter all year. His splitter was his "out" pitch last season. Once he lost command of that, he was no longer effective last season.

He's a competitor.  He doesn't want to lose his job.  He likes to pitch.

 

Well, for now atleast, he's lost it anyway. So not telling the truth (not saying that's the case) didn't do much for him. Anyway, it's not really important. It's now clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's not ready. So who's available that we could realistically get to replace him?

Who's worse -- Hermanson or Redding?

 

KW will be swinging a trade for a reliever soon.  Borchard and a decent prospect or two for another bullpen arm.

 

Redding is absolutely terrible. I watched him pitch a lot vs the Cubs, and not once did I think "wow, I would love for this guy to be pitching in our bullpen".

Anyone know much about Stewart? BP thinks he's a good bet to knock Widger off the roster in a couple of months.

 

Widger's not going anywhere. Hell, he's been our best hitter of guys on the big league roster so far. I haven't been impressed with Stewart when I've seen him.
