Putz question

by sooper jeenyus on Apr 22, 2008 4:00 PM PDT

Putz (rib inflammation) may be activated as soon as Tuesday after pitching in a simulated game on Saturday, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.

Anybody have an update on how his simulated game went? My boss has a few M's on his fantasy team so he's always coming to me for info. Figured I'd try to give him something so I can get some brownie points and possibly a day or two off. Any sort of update is appreciated.

All I know is

He threw 41 pitches in the simulated game, and said he “felt good” afterwards, so I’m guessing it went pretty well.

If he throws 41 pitches in a real game, we're in trouble.

I like midgets more than I should.

Didn't you hear?

They’re stretching him out and will have him start in Bedard’s spot in the rotation.

I remember there were actually some people (and by people I mean morons) suggesting that last off-season.

Putz himself wrote about this, and things sound very good

Dickey sent down

According to Baker. Fuck.

Guess that means they feel good about bedard

Or they're THAT stupid

I would really hope this means Bedard is doing well.

Dickey really doesn’t profile a a good relief guy. You don’t want him throwing a knuckler with a guy on third in a tie game.

Why are they stupid

for sending Dickey down at this point? They still have Baek to spot start and they would have had to expose him to waivers if they did try and send him down, not the case with Dickey.

Yeah, Dickey seems like the right move.

The interesting move

is going to be the next one when Bedard comes off….. its probably going to be between Morrow, Lowe, and Corcoran.

It should be Morrow

but it’ll probably be either Lowe or Corcoran.

by BrianL on Apr 22, 2008 5:06 PM PDT up reply actions

Probably Corcoran.

I'd rather see Morrow back down at this point

given that he hasn’t looked terribly sharp so far.

But yeah, I was thinking of Dickey > Baek, but then I remembered Baek is out of options

Dickey is not a special player

Why he’s considered so important is beyond me.

by Graham MacAree on Apr 23, 2008 2:54 AM PDT up reply actions

Knuckleballers are rare enough

that they’re all considered “important”, whether they are or not (and they’re usually not). It’s like the holy grail – a near-unhittable pitch – and any team that gets close to developing or acquiring a guy that can throw one starts drooling over the possibilities inherent in the pitch/pitcher, and that spreads to the media and the fan base.
