David Price called up to pitch Monday vs Cleveland

tommyfro21 · May 24, 2009

Here's the source:

LHP David Price will make his first big-league start of the season Monday at Cleveland. Price was a postseason sensation last year, but he was sent back to Class AAA Durham to work on his pitches and pitch efficiency while working under strict pitch limits. His last outing was pretty good -- five no-hit innings, nine strikeouts. Overall he is 1-4, 3.93.

Hopefully he gets sent back, Durham is in Buffalo the second week of June!

Price has not looked that great in the minors, so gettting shelled isn't out of the question.

He's also dominated in each of his appearances in the Majors. Just ask the Red Sox.

Just made my day at the beach that much better! Yay!

Hope Price performs to everyone's expectations. I think the slow start might be him trying to shake off the rust from the offseason.

I think it may just be you making excuses for him. He was probably just sulking that he didn't break camp with the team and now realized he needs to actually pitch well to earn a shot this year, hence his dominance last time out.

There definitely needs to be a watch thread so I can check updates on my phone while we are driving tomorrow

Yeah that is always a good thing surfing the net while driving. LOL

Price at his worst will be better then what Kazmir has given them his last 4 starts.

The only reason Price didn't get a spot on the roster afer spring training was because of arbitration. If he played enough games/innings in the minors this year the Rays get to hold off arbitration for another year. I'm willing to bet he just met that limit so they called him up. He belongs in the bigs.

Ouch!

I'm actually looking forward to see how he fairs Monday. I'm rooting for him (even though he plays in the same division as the Sox).

That was actually my thought...

Look at Detwiler. He was mediocre at best in the Minors. Gets called up and is doing pretty well so far.
