I can't tell whether or not he will be put on the ML team while Golden Boy Castro spends enough time in the minors to miss the super 2 deadline and thus be cheated out of an extra year of free agency the temptation must be overwhelming.The real question is if Towles continues to hit really well in the regular season AND Castro tears it up at replica Longines L5.655.0.51.2 Ladie's watch, what to do.I would think that the right answer is to trade him for some middle reliever and keep Sammy Gervacio at AAA. BB, 1 K: .273/.304/.218WOW it's FUN to hit minor leaguers and unprepared major leaguers working on stuff, isn't it?As for pitchers, um, well, Roy O is cruising with 3 hits, 4 BB, 3 K over 6 IP (and he shut the Red Sox DOWN).
Sammy Gervacio is looking awesome replica Longines L4.717.6.22.0 watch over 4 games and no runs.Casey Daigle has given up NO hits, 1 BB, 5 K over 4 IP in 3 games.Arias is hurt and everyone else is, uh, um, er, uh, working with his pitches, yeah, that's the ticket.Wandy (working on his changeup) and Moehler (working on his control)and Wesley Wright (working, period) and Bud Norris (sigh) and other starting candidates are giving up homers, hits, walks left and Wright (hahahaha) and I bet right now that Fast Eddie is trying to trade Towles for some juicy Veteran Goodness in the middle relief department, seeing as how 4-9 IP is statistically significant.Interesting that it takes pitchers so much longer to get ready for the season than hitters.18 days left to Opening Day.
Buster Olney, uh, found out (ahem) that someone associated with the Phillies was talking to someone associated with the Cardinals about maybe trading Albert Pujols for Ryan Howard, straight up.uh-hunhTranslation for Mr.Olney: Joe, the replica Longines L2.643.8.73.2 Men's watch parking lot guy at the Phil's ST lot was talking to Sam, the janitor at the Card's clubhouse about their fantasy league teams and somebody kind of overheard wrong.Ryan Howard is a good ballplayer and a (supposedly) good guy, and yeh he hits home runs, but, to put it mildly, he ain't no Uncle Albert.
