Well, he still isn't walking folks.

Worley is absolutely horrible. Anyone know how Hess has looked in the minor league camp? Maybe time to give some prospects a long look instead of wasting our time with trash like Worley.

David Hess has pitched in A ball. And don't ever call player trash. Please.

"Overall I thought, the ball was coming out really well and I was doing what I needed to do," Worley said. "(Working) both sides of the plate. Mixing speeds, moving the ball. The only one pitch I wish I could take back was the home run. Should have gone with something with more movement than just trying to get it over."

Worley allowed a three-run shot to Sam Travis in the second. He allowed two singles to start the fourth and Christian Walker's error at first loaded the bases. All three runs would score, but just one run was earned.

Worley went 3 1/3 innings, alllowing eight hits and six runs (four earned) with no walks and one strikeout. He threw 66 pitches, 46 for strikes. He felt his stuff was solid during that fourth inning.

"That inning, I probably had my best stuff, being able to move the ball around," he said. "They just hit it where my guys weren't. There were some tough breaks in there, but you know it is all part of the game. It will even out over the course (of the year). I'm not going to beat myself up over it."

"I feel great...Guys were staying off balance and they were having to guess so I'm doing exactly what I need to do."

Hess is 23 years old in July and pitched Bowie to the Eastern League title, dominating some quality playoff opponents in the process. I would think he is someone we should be spending some quality time on instead of Worley. Just my two cents.

Fair enough. He was there for a week. He was pitching in the Ohio Valley conference for Tennessee Tech 15 months ago. I'd say he is probably in need of so more development rather than being thrown to the wolves in the AL East. Wouldn't you concur?

What do you consider "quality time?" Was he even in MLB camp?

I would like for him to get as many innings as Bundy in FL and see IF he might be in the mix at some point this year. We are wasting our time with Worley. I don't know, to answer your question, what is going on with Hess. Maybe Showwalter at some point will enlighten us.

I assumed that Hess was at minor league camp. Tony will be there the next couple days.
