Re: "Minor" Moves
I'm actually a bit suprised Shearn cleared waivers.

Re: "Minor" Moves

Re: "Minor" Moves
Like the arc of his yakker, Shearn takes a U-turn to AAA.

Re: "Minor" Moves
Tom Shearn had a nice little run in which he allowed a 5.00 ERA over 7 appearances. Unfortunately, everything suggests that he was quite lucky to have even that much success.
He doesn't have great control. He doesn't strike anybody out. He's a fly ball pitcher. He allowed an insanely low, fully unrepeatable, 13% LD rate. His 79.9% LOB% was higher than any qualified pitcher in baseball. I'm sure his curveball fools lots of guys in AAA. Give him 100 IP in the major leagues and I'd put $100 of a 6.00+ ERA. He's a fringy guy when he's lucky and a AAA stalwart when he's not. Great filler for Louisville, but don't expect anything beyond an emergency starter who might not embarrass you.

Shearn isn't a viable option for the rotation in 2008. He could easily be an emergency call-up starter, though. |
