Promote Liz

He seems to flat-out dominate in A ball now.I agree they ought to move him to Bowie pretty soon.

I recall Liz's being really wild at Delmarva last year; they demoted him to Aberdeen for awhile. He worked on some things, came back up to Delmarva and has been super since then. Whoever the pitching coach at Aberdeen was, should have his salary quadrupled.

Is anybody considering the quality of the Bowie staff when advocating Liz's promotion? The entire Bowie staff has an ERA well under 4 and none of them deserve to be demoted to the pen. If it keeps Liz in Frederick an extra week or two while one of the Bowie starters works to earn a promotion to Ottawa then I don't have a problem with it. In fact, having too much quality starting pitching in the minors isn't a bad problem to have.

Well, Craig Anderson pitched all of 2003 and 2004 in AAA Tacoma, so he should be ready to head back to AAA with the promotion of Liz to AA. Not sure where he was last season. Anybody know?

Those moves will happen once Penn comes to Baltimore. Maybe by the end of May depending on how RLo and Chen pitch.

Liz will be 23 years old in another month

Actually, his birth date is transposed. It's 10/6, not 6/10. He will be 23 all season. (Right, Tony?)

Liz will pitch the entire year at 22-years of age.

WTF -- His shoulder makes a "clicking" noise when he throws a fastball!!???! That's nuts.

Is Liz pitching tonight or tomorrow?

And his fingers hang below his knees when standing straight!?

If Craig Anderson starts at Ottawa today, that opens up a spot for Liz.

[mikezpen]

They should move Liz up. The article I read said that the batters were missing Liz's mistakes as well as his good pitches. That is very revealing.Liz needs to go where the hitters will HIT his mistakes and force him to adjust. You don't imporve in a league where you are already a god.

They're moving MATT BRUBACK into that spot????

Instead of making a new thread, I thought of keeping this thread as the Liz tracker.

Today 5/24

Liz pitched pretty well. 6 IP, 2 H , 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 8 K, 1 HR

A lot of walks for today but not a bad performance.

[DocJJ]

That's dominant!
