I never realized that, but it makes complete sense and now has me wondering why the ball isn't the same in both the majors and the minors. Every team calls up and sends down players as needed with many of these guy getting multiple call ups during the season.

It's quite possible, but I've not seen anything definite about a move to the pen upon his return. I know that the general consensus had once been that there would be an eventual move back in an effort to cap his innings for the season, but that the move would likely happen with the return of...

Probably more like the fan base, media, perhaps a few teammates and the front office. With his research now complete Duran has concluded that getting paid > not getting paid and that being adored at the height of his still young career > than being despised.

For those of you disgruntled by the current Red Sox broadcasters, tune into the MLB network and catch John Kruk rambling on during the Phillies/Cards game as he regales about underaged drinking, pregnant woman and guys with shotguns. What a hoot.

Whitlock might be a few weeks away from returning to the pen. I've a feeling he stays in the rotation until Sale returns, especially if Hill is injured. That said Taylor alone should be a huge boost if he's healthy and pitches as he's previously pitched.

Are you asking about this game in particular?

Yeah every team is going to piss away a few, but certain elements of this bullpen are like my bladder.

Well Jake and Elwood were from the area.

More like a briefcase full of blues.

If he's any good at all he should already be on a plane to Chicago and either Robles or Deikman should return to his hotel room to find his bags waiting in the hall and cab fare taped to the locked door.

I must have blinked.

I was hoping that he got a shot last year when he was pitching well.

On the former, very soon I believe. As for the latter, I'd rather he stay in the rotation ATM. I think he would be a fine addition to the pen, but being stretched out as a starter it might be a while before you can use him in back to back games or even 2 out of three games.

Yes they need to be good.

A quick question for those in the know...Who's the best reliever in Wooster and is he any good?
