mitchell boggs is terrible.

 

True, but never underestimate Dave Duncan's ability to shine a turd.

 

Duncan couldn't do much with him last year. 34 IP, 7.41 ERA, 13/22 K/BB, 1.88 WHIP, 5 HR, .919 OPS against

 

yeah his minor league numbers give no indication that he can be an adequate major league pitcher. 1.39 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 IP, 7 K/9 IP, worse than a hit per inning. everything about him screams "mediocre arm."

That's the weird thing. He has a very good arm. Mid 90's fastball and pretty good curve. He just doesn't miss bats. He throws a heavy fastball which is why he's never had an ERA above 4 at any level. I don't really know what his problem actually is because he's got good stuff. He obviously doesn't have the upside or pure arm, but he's been Samardzija like in the minors with fewer walks.

8 weeks would bring us to mid-June. Then there would presumably be a couple weeks in the minors warming back up, which means July.

 

Could be post All Star break before he's back in the majors then.

He was good for me in the 2 starts I had him in my fantasy leagues.

 

Oh well. Good for us I guess that the Cardinals don't have a superior pitcher.

PJ Walters, come on down

PJ Walters, come on down

Throws a 2 seam fastball usually 88-92, sits consistently 89-90. Throwaway slider. Plus change. About 9 so/9 in the minors, but unlikely to come close to that in the majors. The change is the out pitch. Really needs to control his walks to succeed in the majors.
