Chaz Roe, Zach Phillips assigned to Norfolk. Clear Waivers

[Bahama O's Fan]

I would have optioned Wilson, kept Roe and tried to get him through when it comes time for the fifth starter.

Jerry Crasnick (who reported this) is a sports writer, currently covering baseball for the sports website ESPN.com. He probably garbled the language in that it is how it was listed on an waiver log that he had access to.

Yes and would have removed Henry U from 40-man (assuming other 2 open spots have a purpose).

I am not a front office hater, but I disagree with this move. I would've done what you are suggesting. I saw this coming and think it is a mistake.

Was there room for Roe if Worley made the team? I like Roe, but I never did think there was much room for him.

With Gonzo, Worley, and Bundy filling out the back end of the pitching staff there wasn't room. But they could have kept Roe if they had optioned Wilson.

I'm hoping they can deal Roe. I know Cleveland was looking for some relief pitching. I'm sure there are some other teams out there that could use him as well.

[weams]

I think the Bundy resurgence has made Chaz expendable.

What would you have done when they needed the fifth starter? Are you for dumping Worley in favor of Roe?

Yes sir, exactly right.

Yes and Bundy is super durable so nothing to worry about there.

Roe's got a wicked slider but he's overall not very good. He's essentially a ROOGY and that keeps him from being all that useful in our pen, particularly since it keeps him from pitching multiple innings effectively. He was just kept around for depth purposes, for health in spring training.

Valid points sir. Depth is important though.

True, but only when you got the positions above depth settled.

My first response is yes. However, that is a bit unfair because I haven't seen much of Worley. What I would really have done is tried to keep Roe for now - knowing that an injury could pop up at any time. A lot could change before a roster crunch might force me to release Roe.
