Tim Redding......how many homers will he allow in Charlotte this year?

I've noticed some noobies on the board recently, so I just wanted to make sure they knew who they were dealing with. 

 

I think someone needs a new member title

It's not like you can hide a back problem.  If he's hurt,  why lie about it?

He's a competitor. He doesn't want to lose his job. He likes to pitch.

I think he is being a little Cub-esque as far as his health is concerned. If he says his back is fine, he most likely isn't telling the whole truth. Hopefully it is just a question of building up arm strength, or strength in general. But it doesn't look like he's going to be ready to get major leaguers out for a while.

 

From this former pitcher's point of view, he wasn't throwing as over-the-top as he used to. Thus, his pitchers were flattening out, and it's also why he hasn't been able to throw his splitter all year. His splitter was his "out" pitch last season. Once he lost command of that, he was no longer effective last season.

He may be in our bullpen soon with Hermanson's status up in the air.

We can only hope he's getting lit up in Charlotte.

Well, for now atleast, he's lost it anyway. So not telling the truth (not saying that's the case) didn't do much for him. Anyway, it's not really important. It's now clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's not ready. So who's available that we could realistically get to replace him?

Who's worse -- Hermanson or Redding?

 

KW will be swinging a trade for a reliever soon. Borchard and a decent prospect or two for another bullpen arm.

They are making me long for the bad version of Shingo.

Redding is absolutely terrible. I watched him pitch a lot vs the Cubs, and not once did I think "wow, I would love for this guy to be pitching in our bullpen".

Redding is meat. 6-0 Angels.

Anybody miss Damaso Marte right about now? His 3.50 era or whatever it was doesn't look so bad anymore.

At least Lopez is smiling through all of this.

Anyone know much about Stewart? BP thinks he's a good bet to knock Widger off the roster in a couple of months.

2007 opening day backup catcher, IMO. Widger will be gone.

If by couple of months they mean in '07, then they're probably right.

Widger's not going anywhere. Hell, he's been our best hitter of guys on the big league roster so far. I haven't been impressed with Stewart when I've seen him.

Paulino Reynoso just struck out the side.

Angels win, 6-1.

We aint hitting

Singleton just said that Hermanson's health is in question and we will find out more later.

I wonder if Redding or Tracey would take Hermy's place if he is hurt?

Again, I'll take Option C then, which is none of the above.

I hope not. Redding looks as terrible as Hermanson and Tracey isn't ready yet, IMO. I would even try Hideo Nomo as a reliever but he will probably get roped. KW needs to swing a trade.

Tim McCarver must be giving him broadcasting advice.
