There are three pitchers not in the A’s rotation I would rather have start than Wolf. I hope they don’t consider that move at all.
corey23
I highly doubt they would. Straily can come up, Griffin is almost ready, Blackley can start, i mean Tyson Ross is about the third best option… He’s starting tomorrow only bc rest for Blackley and Straily can’t come up yet.
Jimmy Lam
Tyson Ross has 2.74 ERA in 13 starts in AAA, I think that’s well deserving of a start

Tyson Ross stinks every time they call him up. Straily can come up after 10 days.
Andrew Murray
Chris Carter used to stink every time they brought him up.
Iconoclast17
Yes, and when Carter did stink (as Jemile Weeks has all season) he was sent down. In the middle of a pennant race you don’t want Ross (5th best option) starting. Strailey, if he hadn’t just been sent down, would get the start. Then, Blackley, who pitched 5 + innings a few days ago, then Griffin, Billings and only then, maybe, Tyson Ross.
On a related note, Shane Peterson deserves the next call-up for an outfielder, not the thrice failed Mike Taylor.

Griffin, Blackley, Straily, and even Peacock are all viable options to replace Colon. They’re also all better than Wolf. They’ll need a spot starter for tomorrow, and Beane’s already said it will be Tyson Ross. After that, it’ll likely be one of those first three guys.

A’s don’t need outside starting pitching. Travis Blackley was great as a SP before Strailey was called up. A’s have a lot of depth in their rotation. Strailey will most likely be called up again after the 10 wait period

Why would we need outside starting pitching we have tons!
crashcameron
tigers might want to take a chance on Wolf, maybe. A’s? i’d rather call Mark Mulder just for an old-times buzz

Hope the Cubs sign Izturis for the rest of the year. Castro needs a day off occasionally, and the Cubs can use someone who can actually play shortstop naturally when Castro has a day off (when he gets one). Let go Valbuena and make room for Izturis….might as well have someone who can play defense, even if they can’t hit.
