31-14,   3.67 ERA  64 S,  365.1 IP,  1.259 WHIP at AAA in the PCL.

Tom John surgery in 2017.  Had a 2nd elbow surgery in 2018.  He is coming back in 2019:

4-0     3.83 ERA  49.1 IP,  35 K, 1.338 WHIP

Has options left for this year plus one more season.

If he is not traded and  the Tigers don't take him I think Elias might.

3.67 ERA is respectable for the PCL....but the near 1.3 WHIP leaves a lot to ge desired.

He is building his arm strength back from two arm surgeries.   Maybe his control will get better over the next 6 months.  He has options.

The average WHIP in the PCL is 1.53.    In the 3 prior years, between 1.41 and 1.44.    In that light, Rodgers’ 1.26 isn’t too bad.   I’m not saying the guy is any great shakes.   But I’ve seen worse.

Rodgers has been released.    Sounds like the Astros are trying to find a way to keep him in their organization.   Had they put him on waivers someone would have claimed him and he would have been lost to the Astros.

Elias should be calling him

Oh, we’ve all seen worse on this team. Seems like he’s worth a shot.

At this point I'm not sure many are worth a shot if we have to put them on the 40man. Is there enough time to evaluate them before we have to add all the new people and start cutting?  Of course, if he was released, we don't have to put him on the 40 man do we--unless we want to use him in Baltimore.

They pay him a million to play there 

Unless he he hates it, he’s in the right place. 

Houston? 

Rodgers will now have the opportunity to explore interest from new clubs, though Houston could very well have interest in re-signing him to a minor league deal as a depth piece — particularly with several members of the current big pitching staff ticketed for free agency this winter.

      The Machado trade wasn't the mark of poor judgment.  We got a decent return for when we traded him (2018, with less than a year of control left).  The underlying issue was failure to recognize the timing of that team's window shutting.  2017 started off well enough, but May was punctuated by a 5-14 stretch in the last 19 games of the month (including a 7 game losing streak) and a losing June (that had a 6 game losing streak).  They then limped into the AS Break on a 3-6 July start (including another 5 game losing streak).  Went from a season best 22-10 on May 10, to 42-46 at the break. The pitching clearly couldn't keep up, and denial is a powerful thing.  We didn't do any selling or start a minor rebuild.  Whether that was a Duquette decision or an Angelos decision... who can say? I always look back at that period as having a silver lining though.  We had to crash and burn... to be built back to strength with our modern iteration of our team.  I'm not so sure that the team would have decided to take the same path if they had found additional ways of treading water for several seasons longer than they actually did... so I'm loathe to criticize the failures in the last seasons of the Duquette era.  Without them, we very well might not be where we are today.

      Even our bad lineups have a brutal top half of the order for opposing pitchers.

      Mullins had a good AB left on left last night that hopefully is a good sign of a turnaround. 10 pitches and fought off several fastballs that he has been swinging through. Ultimately just a groundout but I thought it was encouraging.    Liked the bunt single too.

      Well...the "A" team hasn't been scoring runs when he pitches anyway.  Might as well shake it up a bit.

      I was thinking he'll get until the AS break to show some signs of life, but it could happen by Father's Day. I'm not implying that they'll release him but that his role could decrease significantly.
