fathom Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Oh goodie!!!! A 27 year old pitcher in AA with an ERA of 3.60 and a WHIP around 1.5. I wonder if his slider will be compared to the great curveball of Arnie Munoz? Edited May 28, 2007 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Cool. Day will dominate. Plus, he will add some color to the pen Oh, and Gonzalez should not be called up. We already have Mack and Cintron. We don't need another below average reserve infielder. I say it should be Sweeney, but Owens would be a good choice as well, since he does have speed.

I wonder if his slider will be compared to the great curveball of Arnie Munoz? Every scouting report I've read rates Day's slider at a 60 MINIMUM, which is above major league average, and a 70 usually, which is well above the major league average. We're talking about a guy whose slider is a tick below Felix Hernandez' for Christ's sake. Munoz always had a big rolling curveball which is not even close to the same as Day's slider. Edit: Looking at Day's splits, he's been doing very well after having a period of really rough outings in late April. For May, we're looking at: 13 IP 12 H 7 BB 24 SO .231/.322/.269 against Edited May 28, 2007 by Cerbaho-WG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretchstretch Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 are there any replacements for Guillen out there who can motivate players into battling for wins and working through struggles. all the talk about the pen, lack of speed injuries, etc doesn't cover up for that "dead look" of the players. MN came back from a 12gm deficit last year to win the division because RG WOULDN"T ALLOW them to stay down. OG has no sense of being able to demand and get the most of his players. Can an entire pen of 6-8 guys go from unhittable to horrible without SOME blame on the coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ May 28, 2007 -> 10:28 AM) FWIW, somebody with a grand total of two posts at WSI posted that he has "reliable" information that Day has been called up. Sounds pretty reliable to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
