Ross Detweiler Called Up
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=txnationalsmoves&prov=st&type=lgns
I'll be the first to say THEY'RE RUSHING HIM, HIS CAREER IS OVER!!! Or something.
I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of Detweiler, but I always find it interesting to see how the stuff of pitchers coming almost straight out of college plays against major league level competition.
Any reactions? Personally I often like the idea of getting a guy acclimated to the big leagues from a mental standpoint, but I'm not sure that Detweiler profiles as a good candidate for that kind of exposure. I would've rather they rest him a little and then send him to Hawaii or maybe the AFL after an AA spot-start.

bad idea

I have...
But what concerns me is just that he doesn't seem ready. He was giving up 10.3 H/9, 2.95 BB/9, while only striking out 5.40/9 in High A. Those numbers don't scream "major league ready" in my book.
But maybe they just want to use him as a LOOGY for this last month. They were aggressive with Zimmerman and it looks like that has panned out pretty well. Maybe they want to see if they can catch lightning twice.
