You might be thinking of when he came over in the Ken Giles trade?

 

[trostol]

I don’t believe so.

Tsk tsk...I thought you all were talking about Phillies legend Joe Savery! 1st round pick in 2007 (along with Travis d'Arnaud) who converted to a 1B after going 1-12 and basically losing all control while with Lehigh Valley.

Hale eh?

 

[CutOnDime97]

Hale eh?

How should I feel about this BP? Tough to be worse than last year but should I have any hope?

 

[CutOnDime97]

Also whatever happened to Medina? Didn't pan out? I see he's really fell down the prospect rankings.

 

[montreal]

I thought they were trading Vinny Velo to the jays.

 

[FLYguy3911]

The problem with carrying Hale is they'll have to DFA a prospect or two to have him be the last guy in the pen when they could have just kept JoJo as a second lefty.

They have more a more traditional bullpen this year. A lot of hard throwers with traditional two pitch mixes. In previous years it's been a lot of low-to-mid 90s guys with weird secondaries. The hardest thrower in the bullpen last year averaged 95 mph. He just got optioned out.

“Philadelphia to the east, Pittsburgh to the west, & Alabama in between”.

He did not. Can't fool me

 

[Hurricane28]

Drafted Eflin in fantasy baseball this year. Sorry for killing all the hope of him breaking out this year.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

No Odubel.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Sensible. They would have had to cut someone else to make room for Odubel.

 

[DancingPanther]

No Odubel.

Nodubel
