I wish Friedman would send him down and give Davis his long awaited shot already.

+ one million!!!!!

I know I am in the minority of Rays fans, but I feel Friedman is pretty overrated due to last seasons' outcome. The only big move he has really made was the Bartlett/Garza for Young/Harris deal. I know we would not have made the World Series without it, but there isn't much besides that he has done that I've liked. Well, locking up Evan long-term was nice too, but other than that!

So if David Price isn't ready, is it safe to say Homer Bailey is on schedule? :lol:

Bailey wasn't having control issues in the minors before he was called back up. David Price was and he was called up anyways. He's going to get shelled as long as his control is off ,because he's being forced to throw strikes. That doesn't work in the big leagues.

All the more reason to sell all my Hanson....and fast!

lol you never know if the last game they won will be their last of the season.

Another reason for selling prospects by or before the time they reach the majors.

 

[cowboysrule48]

Navi doing his best to get us back into the game!

He's a mess out there. It looks like he is unsure of his pitches. Not only is he walking people, but he is missing his spots which is the biggest thing.

It seems anymore that a lot of times when a pitcher comes up with a lot of hype they get shelled, go back to the minors and come back strong.

Yeah, thank god he hasn't been bombed yet....yeah! Just sold another base chrome Hanson for $37. Need that to continue at least another week.


By the way.....what ever happened to the can't miss guy Derek Holland?

I think I will take his orange ref auto and burn it.

a base chrome for $37? Or a refractor?

He's still very young. I say let him work out his kinks in the bigs. In the minors he will be able to get away with mistakes and can fall into bad habits. In the bigs his mistakes will get punished and he will be forced to adjust. If he has a good head on his shoulders and the Rays aren't afraid he will cave in to the pressure they need to keep rolling him out there every 5 days.

 

[matchpenalty]

Will be interesting what his super bgs 9.5 brings tomorrow at auction for CB. Will wossa win it at all costs.

Triple A isn't the majors, it isn't even close to the majors, we have seen this a hundred times before. For every
Lincecum, there are 50 David Prices.

Maybe if they were 15 games out, not when they are in a playoff race....

What happened? Why the hell did Niemann pitch in relief today?

Probably to get work in before the All-Star break...

I remember at the beginning of Last season Price was having some arm issues maybe those are beginning to come around again. I know that Lefties that throw in the mid 90's are hard to come by he will right the ship but he needs to do it in the minors.

And the difference Between hanson and Price is that Hanson was dominating the minors (all levels) and Price was struggling severely at Durham. I know Once he gets things right he will be fine.
