Yay, let’s give Aumont another go. Maybe he’ll figure it out this being his – what, 10th trip to the majors? Here’s a trivia question. How many pitchers ERA+ number is lower than their actual ERA? I bet not many, but I do know Aumont is on the list with an ERA of 21.60 and an ERA+ of 21.

Why Aumont? Bring up Martin.
Also, why even bother keeping Nieves? He’s been fine as a back-up catcher, but Rupp might actually have a role in the future of this team while Nieves will be in another uniform next year, possibly in the next week.

Oh, RUPP!! I was watching the game yesterday, and the entire time, I thought they were saying Ruf (as in Darin Ruf), and I was curious why he was catching.
Also, this just in, the name Manship makes me giggle.

Rupp is actually very good, but since RAJ felt the need to give old man Ruiz another 8 year contract last year for 195 million I guess they will just eventually cut Rupp since he is blocked…

What tells you, based on factual information, that Cameron Rupp is “actually very good.” Because let’s be honest, he’s a backup at best. He’s an all-defense, no-hitting backstop. He’s Corky Miller, Sal Fassano, etc.
