RandyMarsh Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) I love it! I threw it out there last week, yeah he technically isn't "ready" but with his kinda stuff he could dominate MLB hitters who have never seen him, especially if used for only 1 trip through the order at a time or late in games when we need a big K. I think back to how the Rays used David Price in the 08 playoffs. Yeah Price was probably more polished than Jobe is now but wasn't close to a finished product as evidence of his mid 4 ERA the following year as a rookie starter. But in short doses he dominated for the Rays that playoffs due to his crazy stuff. Edited September 23 by RandyMarsh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more is Joba Chamberlain in 2007, He started 07 in A+ and by August was pitching out of the Yankees bullpen and dominating guys due to his sheer stuff. Struggled in the playoffs that year in large part due to the infamous "midges game" in Cleveland. Otherwise he was dominant that couple months he was up. Just maybe we can find similar lightning in a bottle with Jobe this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Clark until maybe after the ASB at the earliest. Has to be stronger and more consistent - I don't think he can carry a positive OPS+ in the majors yet. I could see McGonigle in the mix though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edman85 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Baseball America put out a short podcast this afternoon on Jobe. They were gushing about him, but at the end, the host (Scott Braun, so not one of the two BA guys on the call) went on and on about how this has been a disappointing year for the Tigers but this is a positive step for next year. Why do I get the feeling that segment has been in the can since August? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edman85 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Any questions? 41(a)(3) covers him. He can be a sub for SGL. I did not know until earlier about 41(a)(2)'s caveat about players on the IL only being replaceable if their time on the IL has expired. I think there might be a workaround there (You can just say White is injured and ineligible for the next round and replace him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 What's funny is that we look at JJ's two Toledo starts, which seem unimpressive stat-wise, but several of the guys they've called up this year are unimpressive stat-wise. They saw something they liked in this kid. And now, he's about to get FETTERIZED ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
