April 20, 201312 yr Gwinnett @ Knights Zach Stewart Huntsville @ Barons Wes Whisler Wilmington @ Dash Marin start Dash game 2 Van Skike Intimidators @ Augusta Jaye
April 20, 201312 yr Fun w/ numbers.... Hawkins is half way to his K total in 2012, in 20% of the games played.
April 21, 201312 yr Decent start for Jaye so far. His control seems to be his issue right now. 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K
April 21, 201312 yr What the hell is Wes Whisler still doing in the system? I would rather give his spot to a local walk on or tryout than to have him pitch again. That guy has no business being a pitcher. Jaye is doing pretty good so far. Looks like BP was right on picking him as a top 10 prospect.

He made the Major Leagues, which is far more than most minor leaguers will ever say. There's no problem with letting him earn a living as MiLB roster filler.

His cup of tea performance is worse than using hitters as pitchers and throwing straight fastballs in extra inning situations. Over the past three years, he's struggled to post a sub 6.00 ERA in Double or Triple A. Like I said, his spot is better used on other minor league free agents out there who is worth a flyer. This guy is 30 years old and we've seen everything out of him. He is not cutting it as a pitcher.

Minor league free agents almost never have any value to any MLB club anyway. Who cares who takes that spot?
