2 Jaxx Questions

[craig]

1. What happened to Randy Wells? IIRC, he was the 3rd guy in the rotation the first two cycles. But rotation three, he hasn't pitched, and with a double header involved and Pigs and Chris Shaver getting starts, it's hardly for lack of need for a starter. Does anybody know what and how bad his problem is?

 

2. Tonight Rapada appeared in his 9th game already, and the season is only two weeks old. Is that too much this early, or getting close to too much this early? Do the Cubs or other orgs put limits on how often a manager can use his relievers?

Wells is scheduled to go tomorrow, according to a Lookouts release:

 

OurSportsCentral.com[/url]"]WEST TENN SERIES PROBABLE ROTATION:

 

Friday: RHP Randy Wells vs. RHP Josh Hall

 

Saturday: LHP JR Mathis vs. RHP Travis Chick

 

Sunday: RHP Carlos Mateas vs. LHP Bong, LHP Pelland

 

Monday: LHP Chris Shaver vs. TBA

 

Tuesday: RHP Tim Mateo vs. TBA

 

Of course, that list doesn't give me much confidence in its accuracy.

According to tonight's radio broadcast, Ron mentioned that Wells is being held back. It sounded like he had a slight injury, but I don't recall specifically what it was. I got the impression he is only being held back a day or two.

I believe Rapada has the Lugnuts record for relief innings in a season with 83 1/3 in 04. He didn't start 05 until mid-June and went 42 1/3 innings. Not saying it's good for him, but he's been a workhorse everywhere he's been.

This afternoon the Diamond Jaxx placed Randy Wells on the seven day DL with disomfort in his right elbow. Federico Baez has been brought back from Triple-A Iowa to take Wells spot on the roster.

Much appreciation on the info.

Ugh. :( Does it sound serious?
