Pleasant surprise. He showed real promise. IIRC, Hurl was pretty upset that the Jays let him go but looks like he boomeranged back to them at no cost.

Probably because the Jays knew he wouldn't pitch in 2014, which he didn't. He didn't throw a single inning for the Braves. If he's fully recovered, he has a decent shot to fight for a bullpen spot. But he's most likely Buffalo bound.

This guy is outstanding when healthy, dirty stuff, tops 98 mph IIRC. He must have been recovering from his surgery last year. Can't recall if it was TJ or another soft tissue surgery on his throwing arm.

Yeah I'd say the decision to not give him a roster spot hab been vindicated but it was a little weird considering the extent to which they went to give opportunities to McGowan.

Nice

 

Always liked him arm... until it busted

If I remember correctly McGowan had incredible stuff. The brass probably thought that he was worth more trouble trying to keep than Perez.

And meanwhile McGowan is STILL unsigned.

Looks more and more like Cecil will be the closer, stocking up on LHP relief options. I definitely like this.

I'd like to bring McGowan back as a strict reliever. It seemed that they were trying to keep him stretched out, which made his arm explode.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Oh yeah he showed some real promise a few years back. Could be a sneaky good bullpen addition.

[TwistedLogic]

Always liked Perez. Nice pickup.

[Deadpool]

I'm okay with this. Minor league deals and some sort of terrible historical figure and all...

[Angrioter]

Luisito Perez is a good lefty arm.

 

Me gusta!!

I'd sign McGowan on a minor league deal. Just tell him he isn't a lock to make the roster and we'd love to have him work it out in Buffalo. He's got enough stuff that it could all click at any time... just don't need those 'working it out' innings in our MLB pen.

Look where JPA setup there. My god he was the worst.

I really don't mind McGowan on a 1 year / 1M major league deal.

I'm so sick of Dustin McGowan. I just don't want him to have anything to do with this team at this point. I don't care if he's got good stuff and he can break out. There's a thousand relievers that can say the same. I just have this terrible feeling that the second McGowan signs with the Jays, be it even a minor league deal, he'll automatically be destined to throw a significant number innings in 2015.

 

I called McGowan giving up a homer on three separate occasions last year. Since 2011, he's given us a total of -0.1 wins. I have no confidence in this guy pitching for a contending team, and I'd be very content with them finally telling him to f*** off, and closing this chapter for good.

Hell yes, I loved Perez, he was always so much better than the results he got and I think he could be a gem for this bp.

the one where he gave up a homer to viciedo (i think) when we were beating chris sale in the 8th was the most painful for me, he gave up stroman's lead too. sad memories....

ECJF is most likely holding a party at this very moment.
