Casey Janssen up for Accardo

Jordan Bastian twittered it a few minutes ago as well as saying Kevin Millar is switching to number 15 now that Alex Rios isn't using it. Janssen isn't as interesting a choice as I was hoping for, but I guess they want to see what he can do in the pen.

No kidding. Saw this as well and I was kinda disappointed.

I got to be honest, with the way all of Janssen’s pitches were being thrown I have lost most of my confidence in the guy. Nothing bent or moved all of it stayed flat.

We'll see maybe needed more rehab time.

just turned on the Cubs/Pirates game 17-2 in the 5th for the Cubs.

very few pitchers

can return from surgery like Casey had. I’ve always liked him as a pitcher, but I have to agree that his stuff looked pretty flat over his short stint as a starter.

That said, I do think it’s worth giving him another look – 5 starts aren’t really enough time to judge even if he hadn’t missed a full season and not thrown in the majors for almost 2 years, and reports and numbers from the minors have been generally positive.
