Cody Carroll 2020 ERA: Over/Under 100.00?

[TommyPickles]

He bumped it up to 162.00 yesterday after another disastrous outing... So what do we think? Over/Under 100.00 for his MLB time this season?

In all seriousness, I'm ready to see Tom Eshelman.

He and Phillips are both clearly guys that had success in the minors by having good stuff and getting hitters to chase.  They have horrendous command.  Carroll missed his spot by 3 feet several times.

I'd keep throwing them out there this year because why not but I don't think either has a chance of being a ML pitcher without some mechanical adjustments that will refine command.

He didn't "bump it up" to 162.00 yesterday.  It was infinity before yesterday's game so he actually lowered it by a huge amount.

I think he is optioned to Bowie when Means is activated today.

Getting some innings in sim games could help him find his command.

[Aristotelian]

I was really excited that he had a good spring in line with his minor league numbers. He was my pick as a possible breakout guy. Very disappointing.

I have a feeling he’ll be one of those guys who enjoys success with his next organization. The stuff is there. If someone can get him to spot better and attack hitters he could be good. Or he could be like Mike Wright. 
 

Anyone see any mechanical red flags in the delivery that could be leading to the atrocious command?

He throws wayyyy too many uncompetitive pitches to warrant a MLB roster spot.  I don't get how he's on the team.

Being competitive isn't a concern.

Winning games isn't a concern for Elias.  I can't say if he'd rather get a higher pick than win games but he's pretty clearly not willing to promote young players before their service time can be gamed...I mean before they are ready.  He's also not shown much of a willingness to expend resources to improve the product on the field.

Caroll reminds me of Mike Wright. He throws REALLY hard but without accuracy.

I have little faith in any of the trade return guys we got in the ‘18 sell off, aside from Possibly Kremer, who will get his chance soon, and Encarnacion, who is what, 18 now? Jury’s our on them. But Rogers, Phillips, Carroll, send ‘em on their way.

Technically it was 108.00 after he recorded the strikeout of Gardner, then it bumped up.  But either way, it's awful

Diaz?

Pop is also still interesting.

Didn’t Pop go down with TJ?

I have hope for Diaz, but we’ll see.
