Take a Guess: Which September Pitching Call Up Will Get the Most Innings?

by Tom Dakers on Sep 6, 2011 2:35 PM EDT in Fun

We know who the September call ups are, which one of the pitchers do you think will get the most innings?

Chad Beck? He didn't have much luck in Vegas, but throws hard, but he throws hard, could be useful in relief.

Kyle Drabek? He had a pretty lousy year, with the odd good start, here and there. Maybe he'll get a couple starts.

Danny Farquhar? He looked good the couple times I saw him in Vegas. THe side arm style of delivery would give hitters something new to figure out.

Brad Mills? Might work as a long man out of the pen or might get a start if they get tired of running Luis Perez out there.

I was going to add Dustin McGowan to the list, but I am hoping he gets a good look this month, I think he'd be the easy winner of the poll.

Its got to be Drabek if he does get few starts

Beck and Farquhar are middle relievers, so i cant see them getting many innings. Mills being a long man might get a few innings but there are few other options, so he wont be in so much games

McGowan could be shut down

I’d like him to get a couple of appearances and then sit on the bench. He’s been pitching since January (longer than anybody else) and needs a good offseason break. Nothing much can be gained now except a little bit of satisfaction.

Management might want Mills to get some starts in order to make him tradeable.

Gotta be Drabek imo – he’s the one person on that list likely to make the most impact for this team. If it’s not him, probably Mills or Lord.

Here's my attempt at a witty sig. Didn't really go so well, methinks.

Carreno just seems like a younger version of Octavio Dotel to me – good splits against righties, not so good against lefties, because of that slider.

Meh, we still have time to figure out what he can do, but then again, Octavio Dotel didn’t turn out to bad, and they both have something in common, the ability to strike someone out at any given time, which is great for a reliever.

You can do a lot worse than Octavio Dotel

High strikeout guys have value even if they do have large platoon splits.

Oh, I agree, I’m just saying that if Carreno is approximately equal to Dotel, then we don’t really need to see him more than, say, Drabek or Lord Farquhar.

If I’m not mistaken, this is the last player, apart from Rasmus, that we got back from the Cardinals. So the Cards forced AA to take some drek, which he got rid of (reasonably quickly). Now let’s see if he does the same thing with Teahan.

by DavidLondon on Sep 6, 2011 5:06 PM EDT up reply actions

AA will turn Teahan into Clayton Kershaw.

These aren’t the droids your looking for.

Unfortunately not the Clayton Kershaw who pitches for the Dodgers

Yep.

He’s right up there with Virgil Vasquez and Phil Dumatrait, in my book.

Oh, and sure enough, he did this a few days ago.

I think Mills. I wager the plan is for all of them to work out of the pen and right now the only lefty in the Pen for him to compete against is Rommie Lewis.
