He may receive chances again, but it surely won’t be in Philadelphia, and also does this mean Aaron Nola will get called up? We have no one else. Our rotation now has O’Sullivan, Adam Morgan and Kevin Corriea with it looking even worse when Harang and/or Hamels is dealt.

There’s also Billingsley
So the rotation will likely be O’Sullivan, Morgan, Correia, Billingsley and probably a player who they acquire in a trade. I’d hope that Correia and/or Billingsley are traded in August if they play well enough. That’s when I expect to see Nola.

David Buchanan is throwing again and should be back on the mound for the IronPigs within a week. If he makes 2 or 3 strong starts he’s likely to get the call after Billingsley. The Phillies are unlikely to promote Nola before they’re ready to regardless of whether there is a need for a starter.

I would love for the Pirate’s to get this guy.

I’ve watched a couple of Aumont’s games this year and saw a few last year also on MiLB.. Classic big guy, can’t repeat his mechanics issues. Right handed version of Andrew Miller, which Boston got from the marlin’s after the Fish destroyed his delivery.
Some team should 1st of all get together with him, make sure he is devoted to time and effort involved in throwing out that fall he has in his mechanics and then rework his mechanics, just like Miller did and then HOPE it translates into anything close. It won’t be fast, but with an upper 90’s FB and that sweet CB have seen him throw? He *could* turn into a really, really good late inning weapon eventually for someone.

When is Billingsley coming back?

May as well pick up Cahill…. can’t be worse than what we have.
