Posted April 30, 200519 yr comment_485235 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 Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/28071-jim-crowell-called-up-smith-sent-down/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 30, 200519 yr comment_485236 Do you have any insight as to the type of pitcher he is? Is he a fire baller, junk baller, etc?

April 30, 200519 yr Author comment_485237 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 Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/28071-jim-crowell-called-up-smith-sent-down/?&do=findComment&comment=485237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 30, 200519 yr comment_485238 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?

Am I correct? 758974[/snapback] no, Mota could still go on the DL 758977[/snapback] 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.

May 1, 200519 yr comment_485242 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.

Not to be trusted with righties. 759726[/snapback] 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.

May 1, 200519 yr comment_485244 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.
