[情報] Carpenter could return as a reliever

[keyboardmm (芋頭很好吃XD)]

The Cardinals’ starting rotation is doing quite well thus far, leading
baseball with an aggregate 2.07 ERA. Their bullpen, on the other hand, brings
up the rear at 5.67. They have lost Jason Motte for the season as the
right-hander will undergo Tommy John surgery. Mitchell Boggs‘ stint at
closer was short-lived as his 12.66 ERA in 10.2 innings earned him a demotion
to Triple-A Memphis. Marc Rzepczynski, too, was demoted to Memphis with a
7.88 ERA. It’s ugly.

What are the Cardinals to do about their bullpen? According to Joe Strauss,
John Mozeliak’s hope is that 2005 Cy Young award winner Chris Carpenter will
be able to rejoin the team in the summer and serve the team as a reliever as
summer approaches.

This is no stunt or pat on the head to a veteran unwilling to concede the
obvious. Both parties believe Carpenter can potentially address the gash to
the bullpen’s starboard side.

“I’m candidly optimistic and excited about him contributing,” Mozeliak
says.

Carpenter remains on the team’s 60-day disabled list, meaning he can not be
activated sooner than the end of this month. Though no formal timetable is in
place,  Mozeliak thinks a projected return in late June or early July 
reasonable.

Though not the norm, it isn’t surprising to see an injured starter returning
as a reliever. John Smoltz is an example that immediately comes to mind.
Livan Hernandez pitched out of the bullpen last year with the Braves and
Brewers after having made 474 consecutive starts between 1997-2011, though
not with much success.

看到這新聞兩個感想，(1)原來木匠今年還有機會回來喔!
                    (2)除非新上來的小朋友都馬上頂住，不然可能要看牛棚爆爆樂到
                       木匠回來XD


前年使用Raz換來Dotel，Rzepcynski, Rhodes，這三隻牛在季後賽大顯神威

去年也用Cox換來Mujica，替牛棚增加戰力，穩住第七局

今年????
