He is being asked to be a #5 SP. I’m not expecting anything special. Have a solid QS percentage. 
 

They can work on stuff in the spring. 

I’d really like to know what Elias saw in Roger’s aside from a small sample size of decent starts. Irvin did the same to start the season. Now look.

Home plate ump goes to the mound to break up the conference and says "Just so you know, I'm going to keep sucking on close pitches"

[ShoelesJoe]

Might be the worst performance by a home plate ump this year. Rogers isn’t on his game but that’s no excuse. Hyde needs to crawl up Bacon’s $#@ if this continues.

These balls are blistered...most everything hit hard.

Rogers is giving me Matusz flash backs. Except Matusz had a decent fastball. Very unimpressed to say the least.

Last guy I remember giving up this much hard contact was Grayson when he got lit up by Oakland.

All over 95 mph exit velocities other than the Kwan hits.

I’ll never forget some Yankees fan complaining on OD in 2009 to me about the Yankees getting Sabathia instead of Johan Santana. The Orioles hit him around.

not too many swings and misses 

He's got 9 whiffs in 4 innings.

Which is why he'll probably be fine once he settles in -- probably.

Meanwhile Lively is throwing 91 and we have 2 runs.

Stowers is 0-5 with 5K's as a Marlin. Miami fans are asking what the Marlins saw in him.

Rogers can’t get guys out. He doesn’t seem to have a put-out pitch at all.

Seriously did ME make any comments about specifically why he wanted Rogers? 
Not being snarky really want to know.

I think Zimmerman could have filled this spot & we’d still have Norby & Stowers

Team control thru 26. Former All Star. Thinks his staff can work with him.

Teams were not real eager to trade the more premium guys.

Of the folks that were traded how many are clearly superior?  You want him to bring Flaherty back?
