Re: Another Pitcher....Schoenweis
Another 30-something 6+ ERA type - wow just what the Reds needed.

Re: Another Pitcher....Schoenweis
you knew that he'd be a Red at some point in his career. At least we picked him up before he reached age 50

Re: Another Pitcher....Schoenweis
Eeek. Schoeneweis seems to be either hit or miss this year, with more misses than hits so far. He doesn't strike out a lot of batters. His BB/K rate isn't very impressive, his BAA isn't too great either. Might be useful in 1 or 2 games as a LOOGY, but don't the Reds already have enough of those. I guess maybe the thinking was that with Guardado being day to day for the rest of the season, Bray could be used in the late innings and Schoeneweis might have a use, but isn't that why Shack was called up? I wonder whose roster spot he's taking, and I wonder how many PTBNL's Wayne will give up this year. They're almost as common as DFA's this year.

Re: Another Pitcher....Schoenweis
Soon the Reds will have an entire lefty bullpen.
Oh, the joy.

Re: Another Pitcher....Schoenweis
Maybe sooner of later they will actually acquire someone that can get people out.
IIRC, the Reds pursued him a couple of years ago and lost out and then signed Mercker. BTW, he stats suggest he is purely a LOOGY at this point and one that likely not as good as SHack. The Reds may end up with 9 relievers and 3 bench players.

Re: Another Pitcher....Schoenweis
I'm not big on Schoeneweis, but Michalak may not be long for the bigs, Shackelford is good only for a batter or two, and Bray and Guardado have had too much work, it seems, so maybe Schoenweis can fill in some gaps. Could Eddie be heading for the DL?

Re: Another Pitcher....Schoenweis
at this point the acquistions seemed to have become activity purely for its own sake.
SS is at the very best redundancy and at worst a downgrade.

Re: Another Pitcher....Schoenweis
I guess Shackelford will be sent down to make room for him?
