9/17 - Goodbye Frank the Tank (Cubs/Rockies)

[UMFan83]

 

This time last year Frank was on top of the world. Now he’s unemployed. Completely expected due to among other things the 40 man crunch.

 

Wesneski tries to give the Cubs a shot in the arm with his first MLB start

Life of a career minor leaguer, and he had it good for about 9 months, as opposed to most Good luck Tank!

Seems like a prime Cardinal Pixie Dust candidate

Wesneski is absolutely shoving

[Ding Dong Johnson]

My scorching hot take is that Frank will be a sub 750 OPS guy this year.

Not hindsight at all, as I was saying this after the 8th, but pushing Alzolay beyond an inning there was a mistake. We know he can pitch multiple innings, but the guy hasn't pitched in MLB in forever. Let him get out of his first game back feeling good after a scoreless inning.

While I get letting him get the feet wet sentiment and leaving on a good note, the dude needs innings. He’s been given plenty of leash and walking a fine line with the 40-man crunch coming and knowing exactly what he can or can’t be. I’d assuming he’s pitching somewhere in fall/winter to build up innings for next year.

May be a “loss” in the standings, this game was a win with the way Wesnesky pitched. And Adbert with 5 of his 6 recorded out being Ks.
