I have heard that Chris Volstad

Since the Marlins are rumored to be interested in Torrealba, there is an additional reason to hope Torrealba has a big day.

Here’s a link to right field RZR from the Hardball Times, probably the best number readily available, since Dewan’s plus/minus isn’t in the open (to my knowledge). You’ll find Hawpe right near where LMM says.

Not quite

his BABIP is at .388, and his K rate is a solid 7.46/9 on the year. It’s more a matter of guys putting it in play making it count, aka, luck.

trying desperately to get him a win.

by Silverblood on Jul 6, 2008 3:26 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I agree

Cook isn’t exactly a model of durability, so leaving him in to purposely throw over 100 pitches in a year with stacked odds may not be the most forward thinking approach.

Some good news

Fowler homered from both sides of the plate today.

I went and watched him this week, and he doesn’t look like the same raw player I saw early this year. His hitting approach is pretty polished, and though his swing isn’t the prettiest, he produces line drives with it quite well, and it should play at the upper levels. He and Chacin share the crown as our top prospects.

Oh, and those that worry about Weathers haven’t seen him pitch recently. He’s dominating with the fastball, and though he doesn’t need to in most outings, he still flashes a plus plus slider. He’s not here in Tulsa because he’s not ready, that I can tell you.

by David OhNo on Jul 6, 2008 3:38 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

What's the holdup

for Weathers, then? Have to believe he’d be better than some of the schmucks we have in the pen now.

How long will Fowler be in Tulsa?

by rosenthal on Jul 6, 2008 3:44 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Typical cautious approach by Colorado

plus some likely concerns over abitration clocks. Weathers has some command issues, but nothing that’s alarming or a barrier to big league success.

As for Fowler, hard to say. I’d like to see some aggression to have him ready for opening day of ‘09, as he’s having a similar if not better season in Tulsa to Troy’s Double A year, where he was moved up a bit before September.
