E3 on fiya!!!
John McDonald! 2 for 4 now batting a decent .248. Doubled and scored to make it a 1-run game.
I suppose Teahen's around until a trade next year.

Rauch is a flyball pitcher who doesn't strike people out. That's a bad combination for a pitcher. The only thing somewhat saving him is that he doesn't walk many.

He faced the minimum 6 guys through two innings, so one more inning and he would've still avoided going up against batters for a 2nd time.
Of course, that still brings you to Rauch, the (un)closer in the 9th, but hey, maybe different pitches are made, and definitely to different batters, so maybe a different outcome......

meh, can't say this was a surprise. he already said he'd be committed to vanderbilt and it'd take a lot to buy out his college eligibility. nice of AA to set a good precedence to show he won't be pushed around by draftees and their agents. and beede can't declare for the draft again until 2014 too. i like this risk/reward system for both sides. beede could use college to get an education, be a better or worse player and see his stock rise or fall in 2014. nothing wrong with that. he/his agent took a gamble.
can't help but think of that story in espn where a pitcher turned down 5m(but it was over 8 years and his arbitration years are bought out) and now is working at costco. heh funny how life works out sometimes.
???the right-handed reliever underwent an appendectomy in Seattle.

nope. +1 is only for 1st-2nd round draft picks. for 3rd rounders on, the team gets a pick from a supplemental draft round held between the 3rd and 4th regular rounds.

Let's let him fail as a starter first then convert him to a reliever. It would be a waste to not give him an extended look as a starter. He hasn't been good with the Jays but he was rushed.ItechJester wrote: ↑alvarez for closer? he's got the speed. doesn't have enough pitches to keep fooling batters several times through the order.
