Could this Marco Carillo character ever do anything productive as a big league bullpen guy?

[toonsterwu]

If by productive, you mean some sort of key late inning role, then probably no. His stuff just isn't that good. He's an organizational arm at this point in his career, filling in where needed. I have high doubts he'd even see the bigs.

[Guest]

Disappointing outings from Rhee and Peralta. At least Rhee recovered after the 5-run 2nd.

 

Reggie Golden still not in Boise's lineup.

Vitters with 2 HBP. O-B-P! O-B-P!

 

Also, Tennessee was shut down by Archer.

Who worked around his trademark poor control. And he's let his hair grow out:

yeah, doesn't seem like archer really pitched all that well. allowed 11 baserunners in 7 innings and only struck out 2 smokies, but the smokies left 13 men on base for the game without scoring a run.

Thanks for trying out Dave Bush, please accept this autographed picture of Jerome Walton as your parting gift.

Oliver Zapata has been really impressive in Mesa.

[JockJones]

Paul Hoilman is putting on his best pre-2011 Adam Dunn impression.

[toonsterwu]

Whatever Hayden's situation was, AzPhil's reporting makes it seem like it may be more of a mental issue now. I just don't understand why the Cubs simply didn't shut Hayden down at some point, let him take some time off, and regroup for AFL. Not every kid can work through their issues without a break, and he was coming in, off medical concerns, as a surprising pick who had first round pressure. If they thought the issues were more mental than physical at some point, I just don't see why they didn't shut him down for a period.

[Guest]

Got to agree with toonster, this isn't helping Hayden. Yowza:

 

Arizona Phil[/url]"]Cubs 2010 #1 draft pick RHP Hayden Simpson followed Garcia to the mound, entering the game at the start of the 6th inning. Throwing nothing but fastballs (as was also the case in his previous outing), Simpson had an easy nine-pitch 6th (striking out the lead-off hitter looking), before allowing a lead-off single and a one-out Miguel Marte RBI double high off the CF "Green Monster" (Batter's Eye), just two pitches after Marte slugged a near-HR down the LF line (hooked foul at the last second before clearing the fence). Simpson was then removed from the game, after having thrown 26 pitches (17 strikes).

 

While he throws only fastballs in games, Simpson does throw a breaking ball and a change-up when warming-up. But he apparently is so messed up right now, the Cubs feel he needs to go back to square one and just try and command his fastball (which he was able to do today, and with perhaps a bit more velocity than he has shown previously), before adding anything else to his in-game regimen.

 

You can tell somebody of concern is in the game when the Fitch Park Sports Psychologist is sitting on the bench, and a Special Assignment Scout is running the radar gun from the tower (hiding the readings from the players).

[TruffleShuffle]

awesome! we drafted a guy in the first round who can't throw breaking pitches in game situations and has had trouble cracking 90 mph. sounds like a keeper.

[Shilzzz]

if rich hill was made of mononucleosis, would you draft him?
