Anyone have a scouting report on Hoover? I had kinda forgotten about him.

Low 90s fb with a nasty curve and solid change. No real projectibility in his frame but he has solid command and a great idea of what he OS doing

Salcedo

Well it wasn’t all bad he was involved in 2 DPs and had a SB(5). He has shown great wheels so far.

didnt realize that minor was doing bad

OJ didn't do it

he’s been very mercurial. When he is bad he allows 7 runs and Ks no one. When he is good he throws a two hitter and strikes out 14. Last time he was bad. Ever since he got down to that 4.00 ERA mark he has had some sort of aversion to staying below it for any extended time.

possibly a late season call up but I doubt even that honestly. We won’t need any pitching in the majors until after next season (barring someone getting traded) so I wouldn’t expect him up to stay until the end of next season or the beginning of 2012

Wonder if they send him back to Arizona...

like you, I wouldn’t be shocked to see a September call up, but with Dunn, Proctor, Gearrin, Marek, etc, on the farm too, it’s doubtful he’d get much, if any, use.

i honestly would just like to see a LHP on the team but since Lowe has gotten better and JJ ready to take KK’s or Med’s spot(although i and many others would be pissed if they removed Meds)…that leaves 0 spots open maybe 1 with an injury for a pitcher and that’d be KK back in so i dont expect him to be up any time sonn either
