Jim Crowell called up, Smith sent down

[Ramp]

Topes closer Jim Crowell has been called up, Travis Smith gets booted back to Burque

 

would have liked it to be Miadich instead of Crowell but this is a nice surprise

 

Crowell has a 2.79era in 9.2ip with a 0-2 record and 5 saves

 

3:6 bb:k

Do you have any insight as to the type of pitcher he is?

 

Is he a fire baller, junk baller, etc?

[Ramp]

nope, I think he was one of the Reds top pitching prospects before going down with rotator cuff injury 5 or 6 years ago

 

if this is the same Crowell

He is defiently not a fireballer. I liked Travis Smith. If we sent him down then that means that Mota will not be on the DL. Am I correct?

According to ESPN2's bottom line, they did place him on the DL today.

 

EDIT: Baseball Tonight clarifies, saying the Fish will put him on the DL TOMORROW.

Which means Smith'll likely be called back up due to injury (circumventing the 10 day recall rule).

He's a lefty, no? Hope Jack's not having any funny ideas about giving Perisho setup work. He's a situational guy. Not to be trusted with righties.

Agreed. We all saw what happened last year when Jack tried to stretch him out and let him pitch to righties. It wasn't pretty.

The thought of Perisho as the set-up man makes me cringe. I'd rather have Bump in there instead. If Riedling was 100 percent, he'd be a great set-up guy.

I wouldn't say GREAT set-up man. I'll take servicable.
