NOTES FROM DOWN ON THE FARM...
  • For the 4th time this season already a Durham Bulls pitcher has been named IL pitcher-of-the-week. This time it is Mitch Talbot. Andy Sonnanstine and Jason Hammel (twice) have also won the award. Talbot entered the week with a 2-5 record and an 8.21 ERA. During the week he went 2-0 and pitched 14 innings with 6 hits and 5 walks. He allowed 1 run and struck out 10.
  • Kevin Gengler of Tampa Bay's Tomorrow has secured an interview with Lewis Heath Rollins (He goes by his middle name...Sorry Heath). We know we gave you these numbers yesterday, but it is worth repeating because we barely believe them ourselves...In his last 8 starts, Rollins has thrown 50 innings, with 24 hits, 10 walks and 49 strike outs. He has also only allowed 1 earned over that stretch for an ERA of 0.18.

Still waiting for a reaction to last night's disaster from the Prof. Time to make a move? Who (or "who all") do you bring up?

I'm going with Sonnanstine and Hammel, and I'm for doing it as soon as the next set of starts comes around.
