I dunno, Venditte might be pretty good if he is used as more of a LOOGY.
Minor league career:
Left on left: 1.65 FIP, 2.72 BB/9, 12.04 K/9
Right on right: 3.84 FIP, 3.79 BB/9, 7.94 K/9
Girodo left on left: 1.35 FIP, 2.63 BB/9, 14.63 K/9
I haven't heard his name once this spring. Is he even in camp with the team? That might be even more random than giving the big 17 year old prospect a cup of spring coffee.
Appel getting destroyed by the baby Jays:
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 1h1 hour ago
Rowdy Tellez hit one of the longest doubles you'll see all year off David Hernandez. High off batter ' s eye in CF. Melky Mesa also 2b'd
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 59m59 minutes ago
Sean Reid - Foley easy first 93-95
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 57m57 minutes ago
Now Mark Appel on mound after Nick Williams doubled off of Greene. Too much fun here.
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 51m51 minutes ago
Mark Appel 91-94. Gave up a fly ball HR to Jon Berti struck out next batter then walked Roemen Fields.
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 48m48 minutes ago
Anthony Alford draws his second walk in two innings. Appel struggling with control.
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 47m47 minutes ago
A bloop single by Mesa and now Rowdy Tellez facing Appel with bases loaded.
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 44m44 minutes ago
Appel struck out Tellez on a slider but then gives up a ground ball 2 RBI single for his 2nd and 3rd runs.
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 25m25 minutes ago
Appel gets 2 quick outs in his 2nd inning. Then E and back to back hits as Anthony Alford drives in a run
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 15m15 minutes ago
Because I was watching D.J. Davis single against Jimmy Cordero I missed J.P. Crawford doubling in two.
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 13m13 minutes ago
Cordero was 93-97. Little wild.
(Cordero, traded to the Phillies for Ben Revere last season)
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 12m12 minutes ago
Roemen Fields makes a nice sliding catch in CF. A Fields - Alford OF doesn't allow much to fall in lf and cf.
JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 8m8 minutes ago
Rowdy Tellez just homered off Appel. No doubter. Ok some of the hits were bloop but Appel is getting rocked.
Treinen and Britton were vastly superior than Sanchez as starters while simultaneously failing to stick as starters.
Some GM should assemble the all unique Unicorn team of elite groundball, great velocity, FIP breaking pitchers. I'm sure Brandon League and Ronald Belisario would be willing to start if you paid them enough money.
Could call the team The Butt Stallions.
