NL Notes: Liz, Urena, Anderson

By Jeff Todd | May 25, 2015 at 11:25pm CDT

The Pirates hope they’ll be able to keep the just-designated Radhames Liz in the organization, manager Clint Hurdle tells Adam Berry of MLB.com (Twitter link). Nevertheless, Hurdle says that he expects another club to claim the live-armed righty. As MLBTR’s Charlie Wilmoth explained earlier today, Liz has continued to be unable to limit the free passes in his latest run in the majors. His $1MM salary, too, may cause other teams to hesitate to place a waiver claim.

  • The Marlins will bring up Jose Urena tomorrow to make his first big league start, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports on Twitter. Urena entered the year rated as Miami’s fourth-best overall prospect in the eyes of Baseball America, which praised his mid-90s fastball and quality change. The issue, per BA, is whether Urena’s breaking ball can play well enough to keep him in the rotation. The 23-year-old righty made two relief appearances in the big leagues last year, but only reached the Triple-A level to start the 2015 season. Thus far, he owns a 1.21 ERA over 37 1/3 innings (5.3 K/9 vs. 2.9 BB/9) at the highest level of the minors. Miami was in need of new blood, both as a general matter and because both Henderson Alvarez and Mat Latos were recently placed on the disabled list (joining Jarred Cosart and Jose Fernandez on the DL).
  • While it’s of historical interest only at this point, manager Fredi Gonzalez says that the Braves attempted to sign lefty Brett Anderson over the winter, as MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reports (Twitter link). Anderson ultimately signed with the Dodgers, of course, and had another successful outing tonight against Atlanta. Of course, the major question with Anderson has been health, and he experienced some back stiffness tonight. It doesn’t appear to be cause for much concern at this point, but Los Angeles can ill afford any missed time from its top three starters.

    I could see the Cubs claiming Liz.
    With the right coaching, this guy could be lights out dominant

      Yes, he probably wasn’t getting the right coaching from Searage in Pittsburgh. That guy whiffs with all pitchers.

        You never know: maybe being signed by the Cubs would give him a new Liz on life.
        (The Cubs idea is as bad as my pun, FWIW)

    I’m really happy to see Brett Anderson continuing to pitch so far. I hope he continues to be healthy.

      Me too; I’d love to see what Anderson can do in 185 innings.

    Man, the whole Marlins’ rotation is on the DL. Poor team.

    Are the Marlins shopping for starters?

    One might think Haren would be a valuable trade piece for a west coast team.
