Huh. I was wondering about this guy. He's off to an okay start. What's the scouting report on him?
Career 3.60 era with 8.4 k/9 and 2.1 bb/9 and a 1.218 whip. 16 saves for Pensacola last year. 26 years old.
This guy is coming up for three or four days.
He's an extra man in the pen. When it's time for Cingrani to start, Tony comes up, Freeman goes down.
So we can do a 15 page discussion, but it will be moot by Thursday. Cingrani will face the Marlins then.
I wonder why Freeman over Arredondo or Prior? 40 man roster thing?
Go BLUE!!!
Ok, what do we know about this guy?
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Don't think so.
The reason it's Freeman is because his stay will be three days.
If they wanted a longer term option, they would bring up Arredondo.
When Freeman goes back down on Thursday, he will be iced from the majors for ten days. They'll do that with Freeman. They wouldn't want to with Arredondo, who they may need soon.
I saw him in Spring Training, and guessed he would be the first guy called up. Good fastball and good composure on the mound. Easily the most polished of the guys without MLB experience in AAA.

Check him out.
Freeman played college ball at Kennesaw State, same as our old pal Willie Harris.

Dude is 35 years old. Has played 18 seasons in the minors. And has 375 career minor league HR's. Unreal. Can you say Crash Davis?
