Nice job Phillies… kept him on the roster all of last year for nothing.

Please they were bad last yr and he’s not a MLB player…yet maybe ever

They’re bad this year, so what’s the difference?

I think they wanted to keep Goeddel, but it became a 40 man roster issue. With Nick Williams, Cozzens, Quinn and Altherr all in the mix for future outfield spots…where does one see Goeddel? I liked some things I saw in him, but there wasn’t even a spot for him in Triple A. I’m sure the Phillies faithful will be upset…but as a Phillies fan myself, I see that it just didn’t make sense to lose a spot on the 40 man roster for him.

He wasn’t one of the top 7 outfielders in camp

This makes me more concerned about DeSclafani’s elbow. To me, it sounded like the Reds expected him back by early or mid-May. Now he’s out until at least June. Perhaps they are just being cautious, I hope that’s the case.

Its like Homer Bailey last year all over again. I think the Reds will be lucky if he’s on the mound by the all star break.

My understanding of the timetable is that DeSclafani was due to start throwing again in the next few days. Even if his elbow is fine he’ll have to totally restart his throwing program, and probably go through a month long rehab assignment to build up arm strength.
Unless new news comes out I consider this a procedural move – one they were delaying in case someone they wanted appeared on waivers – rather than a sign of a changing prognosis.

They’d be wise to take things slowly with Disco. Winning is not important this year obviously. They’re trying to figure out who’s a long term piece and who’s not. That question has already been answered with Disco. Give him time to heal.

Phillies kept Lu Garcia and his 6.45 ERA on 40 man roster over Goeddel? What a waste!

Ouch. DeSclafani was the Reds only decent starting pitcher.
redsfan48
Correction: DeSclafani was the Reds only *proven* starting pitcher. They very well could have one (or more) of the rookies (Reed, Stephenson, Davis or Garrett) break out and become a very good starting pitcher this year. Just not a sure thing.

great pick up. Can never have to much young talent.

This really has to hurt for the phillies after carrying this guy on the big league squad all last year. I don’t know the intricacies of waivers but I wonder if they thought they had a good shot of slipping him through or if they just didn’t see him being a part of the future and were fine with him leaving because it opened up a 40-man spot. Either way, tough after keeping him all last year.
hawaiiphil
He was not even in the top 7 outfielders that they brought to camp. It doesn’t sting at all. They sent him to AA ball and he’s 24!

Took a shot Rule 5. Roster spot on last year’s team meant nothing. AAA player at best. Zero pop.

Probably won’t become anything, but why not see if he develops when given a chance to play everyday.

Our Reds need help! A no brainier.
Was a first round pick for some reason, talent.
