I hope I spelled that right

Nope, there's only one "o".

I would rather see Eshelman too, but I think the team prefers Wojo’s strikeout ability.

And he was sent down for a very simple reason, he wasn’t going to be able to pitch again anyway until after the break, and by sending him down they were able to call up a fresh arm.

Hahahaha why, that other O is for O’s, son!

The weak throwing arm was apparent right away, but I thought the question was going to be whether his other pluses would make that weakness tolerable, so that he could hold down CF at least for a while -- and maybe for a long time. He has fallen far and fast from that position.

That’s a shame. I sure was hoping he’d make it in the bigs.

All of us over a certain age saw a little bit of Al Bumbry in him (weak arm and all).

So it's disappointing.

Wow, Mullins demoted?

He's having a terrible year.

He's played so badly I have to wonder if he's hurt, or has some seriously messed up stuff going on in his head.  Last year he had a .671 in Baltimore, career minor league OPS prior to this year was pushing .800.  This year his overall OPS is around .500, mostly in AAA with super bounce balls.  After accounting for the balls his AAA OPS is down well over .200 points year-to-year.

Next stop released from the 40 man roster. Mullins won't be in the organization much longer.

Yep, it's one of the things I didn't expect this year.

I wasn't a believer after what I saw last year but I didn't see this coming.

I figured he'd be a 4th outfielder type.  But sheesh.

One of those guys that bounced from team to team and next thing you know he's got eight years in the league.

Pretty good at chasing down helmets though.
