More like Kevin Towers decided not to bring up Bauer because he got thrashed in his last two outings..
EdinsonPickle
Maybe he got thrashed because he threw to many innings and is tired.

Signing that early kinda backfired in the short term. He led college in innings pitched and threw everyday at the Texas Baseball Ranch this summer. He was smoking AA hitters but recently hit the wall. Shut him down, there’s no point to push him even more at this point.

I agree with the words that be coming out of your fingers. He’ll have a long career; no need to rush him now.

Dbacks future is very bright. Skaggs, Parker, Bradley and Bauer to put along side Kennedy and Hudson down the road. Towers will get credit but Jerry DiPoto has done a fine job in the desert.

Didn’t see it, but just wondering how the hell Pandoval legged out a triple.

I had been arguing to trade Broxton since last year’s All-Star break. An awful non-move by the Dodgers front office.

The strange part was I don’t even recall any rumors involving Broxton during the deadline this year. That tells me they didnt even shop him around. Does he project as a type a or b free agent? Or is he unranked?
thegrayrace
He was injured before prior to the All-Star break and trade deadline. Not to mention, he had been utterly ineffective since the All-Star break in 2010… 3 saves to finish off the 2010 season (with a 7.13 ERA and 2.125 WHIP), only 7 saves in 2011 (with a 5.68 ERA and 1.895 WHIP).
But it was clear at the 2010 All-Star break that the Dodgers should’ve been sellers, and Broxton was probably their best commodity to move, considering he had only another year on his contract and his salary was getting pretty high. But Ned doesn’t seem to get the concept of selling in a losing season, which is why we end up with Theriot, Lilly, Dotel, etc… and Rivera this season… and let guys like Broxton walk with no return.
I’d guess with his year and a half of injury and mediocrity, Broxton would be Type B at best, but is probably unranked…

I didn’t realize how bad he has been the past year and a half! Ned seems to have a similar take on the trade deadline during a losing season that Jim Hendry did with the Cubs in that sell is not in the vocabulary. Why sell when we can buy? Hope fully they can get Kershaw and Kemp signed to long term deals, even though I’m a D-backs fan I love being able to watch two amazingly talented players like them.

The bigger problem at Colorado Springs is not the thin air but the lack of top shelf or next shelf down pitching quality. The Rockies lack legitimate talent in Triple-A. That’s more the reason for the inflated ERA.

what’s the rush with Bauer? I say they should wait on bringing him up, give him some time to rest and work out his recent problems(bad outings) and let see what he has next year.Maybe start him in triple A at the beginning of the season and if he excels, call him up.

Just great. Now they won’t develop properly because they’ll be too busy smoking stogies.
