The opposing pitcher of record: Jeff Beliveau. Per his transaction log, Baltimore signed him to an MiLB deal in December, DL'd April 7, activated and assigned to A May 3; 2 1/2 months and 19 games later, can it really still count as a rehab assignment?

Erling Moreno - 6 IP / 6 Ks / 0 BB / 4 H / 0 BBs....30/3 K:BB in 28.1 IP so far this year

 

Was this guy a notable signing? The name sounds familiarish, but it could be from my very loose following of the DSL/VSL the past few years.

 

 

Jimenez left after coming up "a little gimpy" on some play at 1B apparently, replaced by Martinez who otherwise would have had the night off.

 

They seem to handle him with kitten gloves; seems to be pulled from games an awful lot, followed by the next few games off. Sounds like the Soler comparisons might extend to his health.

I heard they pull him from games so that he can breed and make more little Eloys because he is a God of baseball

[Sammy Sofa]

handle him with kitten gloves

Moreno was the highest rated pitcher they signed during the 2013 7/2 period. He had TJ surgery the next season. That's a leap on Eloy's health.

 

On Erling, he was more highly rated than Jefferson Mejia only because Mejia wasn't rated by BA because they don't rate players who have been eligible in previous free agency periods. That said, Mejia got $850k to Moreno's $800k.

 

Obviously agree with you on the Eloy nonsense.

Arguello's reports on Moreno this spring were that he wasn't very fast, but had a good curveball. Perhaps the fastball has improved or will do so. Edited July 17, 2016 by craig

Arrieta's reports on Moreno this spring were that he wasn't very fast, but had a good curveball. Perhaps the fastball has improved or will do so.

 

Arizona Phil had him 88-92 during Extended ST but with good command.
