dumatrait will be promoted...
Trainwreck waiting to happen unfortunately.
Phil cant throw enough strikes, and the ones he does throw don't miss enough bats.
His numbers in AAA are ugly.
I'm resigned to the thought that he is going to be pounded pretty badly in the big leagues. If that happens, hopefully a move to the bullpen can be considered. IMO, that's the only way he has a chance to be a useful player in the majors.
KeyMastur.. is it a fact he will be promoted? Or just opinion?
I tried getting Dumatrait up here earlier, but as usual Wayne never listened to me.
Both Gosling and Ramirez have had a chance...Phil is yet to have one.
I was hoping Dumatrait would be a guy we could leave in the minors and let him put up some decent win totals and ERA numbers and then use him as part of a trade package.
Sadly, I think once he hits the majors, he's going to pitch so poorly that people will see right through his minor league stats finally.
First off, Bronson isnt my boy. Secondly, the large difference between Bailey and Dumatrait, you know aside from age, stuff, upside and all of that.... when Bailey throws strikes, people swing and miss a lot more often than they do when Dumatrait throws strikes.
Dumatrait against righties this year:
Check out that walk to strikeout ratio. That does not bode well at all for current of future success. He is 26 years old, so improvement isn't likely to all of a sudden come along.Code:Entire Season ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO GO/AO AVG
vs Right 3.53 86.2 78 39 34 7 37 47 0.87 .239
He is striking out 1 more batter per 9 innings than he is walking against righties.
I just don't have enough faith in him to throw enough strikes at the major league level to be successful. Honestly, I would rather see Cueto or Fisher called up from AA before Dumatrait because I just think they would have more success.
