Yes but usually you don’t DFA a guy getting his kind of paycheck unless you are 100% certain he will 100% of the time **** upCan they DFA Hendricks?
Dude throws 101, maybe he isn't a multi inning guy.Wow this bullpen pitches so erratically. How can Counsell have any confidence in these guys when Palencia looks like he can strike out anyone one inning, and then completely craters the next?
Really my only knock on Counsell so far from the entire season standpoint. 2 of Alzolays 4 blown saves came after he had already thrown in the 8th.Dude throws 101, maybe he isn't a multi inning guy.
Amen. This team is obviously banged up and has played quite poorly for a while. To be in the position it’s in is very encouraging. More guys will drive the ball more consistently than they have, and I really believe the bullpen works itself out eventually. Call me a sunshine pumper if you want.3-4 on a tough trip. Take it and get ready to beat the Brewers this weekend.
I'm going to give Counsell benefit of the doubt that he's trying to figure out what he has. Not ideal during the season, but really only way a new manager can figure out guys strengths/weaknesses in big league situations.Really my only knock on Counsell so far from the entire season standpoint. 2 of Alzolays 4 blown saves came after he had already thrown in the 8th.
There are multi-inning relievers and there are not multi-inning relievers. I would argue Adbert, MJL, Palencia, and Almonte are guys on our roster that should not ever throw in an inning and then come back out.

Hendricks Double A Start:
It’s ******* double a. Basically a bunch of high schoolers and college kidsTurns out 85 without elite placement is just batting practice. Although strangely those numbers aren't bad.
I know but 7 hits and only 2 runs is pretty luckyIt’s ******* double a. Basically a bunch of high schoolers and college kids
