but I just don’t have a problem clicking on the box scores from shroom’s site, usually linked in these very threads, or getting them the next morning from Lucas, Hindman.

Alvarez now in. Is this a rehab?

its good to know he’s still alive

wouldn’t it something if that time was now. There really isn’t another pitcher that I’d feel great about adding in September. Moscoso and Madrigal – I don’t really see them getting much more than mop up work, but Strop might be somebody that works his way to the ML pen and then into crucial situations pretty quickly. At least that’s what I’m hoping for, cause the pen needs another impact arm, preferably a lefty killer and I think Strop is the best (only) hope that we have for that role.

If he has 2-3 good outings in that time, I’d love to see him added to the forty and the ML pen.

or if it was simply the fact that we tried to aggressively start him in AAA when he had only previously pitched a total of seven innings above A ball. to me, he sounded like a kid that knew how to throw more than pitch at the beginning of the season, and hopefully he’s come a long way since then.

But I think that if a reliever has legit plus stuff and can throw strikes, they can be successful right out of the chute.

These guys are streaky beasts, and Strop is going really well and his stuff is reportedly somewhere between filthy and downright pornographic. I think he is a guy that could possibly make quite an impact for a month down the stretch.

think he will get a chance soon?

the AZRL is a rookie league, the AFL is a fall league that usually consists of players at AA or above.
