It's scary how similar Axelrod and Carroll's WHIP and average against are when comparing 2013 Axelrod and 2014 Carroll. It's very disappointing to see the same junk in the 5th spot again this season. Hahn has got to put the team in position next year to have better depth.

This is going to be ugly tonight.
This has to be it for him. It's sad how much the pitching in this organization sucks after the big 3.
JD Martinez has been an incredible find for the Tigers this year. Hopefully it's just a short hot streak and not a career rejuvenation like with Jose Bautista.

Tim Anderson--fractured wrist 4-6 weeks.
Of course...awful week of injuries for the best hitting/pitching prospect in the organization.

If you would have asked me I would have said Rich Hills been out of the league for 4 years.
On the mound for the AJ/Barrett game

If the Angels add a couple bullpen arms, they can win it all.
They also probably need another starter. Bad news for them is their farm system is horrendous.

A closer in Charlotte isn"t going to get a lot of work.
Ha, good point. Just have him pitch every other game or down there.
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 11:32 PM)
Unless they are better at getting him control and command in Charlotte, I don't see the point. He walks a ton and leads the team in wild pitches. He doesn't have to give up hits to give up runs.
More consistent innings where hopefully he can work on things instead of dealing with the stress of the majors. The velocity is there, but his release point isn't.

Remember when people were b****ing about Webb not pitching the 8th inning?
Still think best bet is sending him to Charlotte and allow him to close.
