May 30, 200916 yr McCulloch with yet another McCulloch outing. He's not getting any better, but he's really not getting worse. Birmingham Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA McCulloch (W, 5-4) 7.0 6 3 3 2 4 0 4.08
May 30, 200916 yr Author Viciedo 3-4 tonight. That brings his average up to .270. His low # of walks shows he still needs some work on pitch recognition and/or plate discipline.
May 30, 200916 yr Hasn’t McCulloch proven that he’s suitably mediocre enough to be promoted to AAA and let a decent pitcher with upside take up his spot with the Barons?
May 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 30, 2009 -> 10:40 AM) Hasn’t McCulloch proven that he’s suitably mediocre enough to be promoted to AAA and let a decent pitcher with upside take up his spot with the Barons? Maybe they are hoping they can keep his #s good in B-ham to give him decent trade value for this summer? He almost certainly wouldn't perform as well in Charlotte given the differences in the stadiums. Then again, given the value of Broaday (worth a backup C), I'm not sure what value that gives McCulloch!
