KnightsOnMintSt Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Replacing Dan Jennings after the trade. Started the season in Winston-Salem, but spent a majority of time in Birmingham, before a couple of outings with Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'm excited to see what he can do. A lefty that can hit 99 and have a good slider? Yeah, lets see what hes got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Our #27 prospect per MLB.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 From a purely development standpoint it seems like we're rushing this kid a bit. I'd have preferred to get him 30-40 AAA innings before starting his service clock. There's no shortage of AAAA bullpen arms in Charlotte to throw into the churn. But he's definitely the most interesting relief prospect we have (that's not undergoing TJ surgery). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 What a Bummer. Sorry, had to get it out of my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Bummer has an upper 90's fastball that get's 7's from some scouts. His slider is a new/changed one, learned it from Jace Fry, and can show plus. Had TJS, missed most of 2015 and 2016. Here's an interview with him.

Chisoxfn Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Let Coop work with him and see if we got something. Deal with the growing pains, but two years from now he could be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan In Husker Land Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Trade one ex-Nebraska lefty reliever and call up another. Hopefully Bummer can be a solid bullpen piece for the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Seems like a good move as we rebuild the team. I am wondering who takes Avi's place for a couple weeks? Unless they are waiting for Leury? Have to be another move happening soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Recall means he was on the 40 man. Purchase the contract means he wasn't. But yeah, I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Bummer's first major league pitch was a strike and his first batter faced struck out. He then allowed a homer to a left handed batter. Mixed results and I am sure not the outing he wanted. Let's get em next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
