Minor MLB Transactions: 6/19/17

By Jeff Todd | June 19, 2017 at 9:50pm CDT

Here are the day’s minor moves:

  • Veteran righty Tom Wilhelmsen is on the open market after clearing waivers, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports on Twitter. The 33-year-old carried a 4.44 ERA over his 26 1/3 innings with the D-Backs, posting 17 strikeouts against a dozen walks to go with a 49.4% groundball rate. While Wilhelmsen was still working off of a mid-nineties heater, his swinging-strike rate has fallen to just 6.2% — well below his 10.6% career average.
  • The Rangers have selected the contract of righty Tanner Scheppers, per a club announcement. To clear a 40-man spot, the club shifted A.J. Griffin to the 60-day DL. Scheppers, 30, is back in the bigs for the first time this year. He wasn’t especially good in his 16 Triple-A appearances, posting a 4.64 ERA with 5.9 K/9 against 2.5 BB/9. Through 179 career MLB innings, Scheppers owns a 4.17 ERA with 7.0 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9.
  • The Reds recently released reliever Louis Coleman, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports on Twitter. The 31-year-old righty was putting up strong numbers at Triple-A, where he carried a 2.21 ERA through 36 2/3 frames. (In fact, it’s worth wondering whether Coleman exercised an opt-out, though that’s just speculation at this time.) Coleman landed with the Reds organization on a minors deal after giving the Dodgers 48 innings of 4.69 ERA pitching last year after missing much of the prior campaign.

    Someone will definitely give Louis Coleman another shot. Especially since he seemingly was fairly successful and sustained a “pretty good” ERA this year at the AAA level.

    The only reason I say his stint was seemingly successful, is simply because I’m not sure exactly what his secondary numbers suggest. ERA is not always the end all, be all telling statistic for pitchers, as most of us fans pretty much already know..

    Maybe he was a little lucky, or maybe he was pitching very well and his secondary numbers suggest as much.

    The one thing I do know though, is that it’s really odd a team like Cincy would get rid of a possible trade candidate, instead of giving him a chance at the big league level, so they might possibly get something in return for him at or near the deadline.

    With this being Coleman’s second season back, after returning from an injury, he should be back and completely healthy. If he is, and was in fact pitching pretty well, I’m definitely curious as to why they just let him go like that. Maybe he did opt out, but for now I don’t suppose anyone truly knows but him and the Reds F.O.

      There is a difference between the pcl and that league

        Isn’t the PCL a notoriously hitter-friendly league though, or am I mistaken??

        I am pretty much basing the fact Coleman should have at least gotten a shot on 3-4 of the following situations/assumptions, which I believe to all be true, well partly true for the most part..lol

        1.) If the PCL is in fact predominantly a hitter-friendly league

        2.) If Coleman’s secondary stats line up with his ERA.

        3.) Since this is his second season coming back from his injury, Coleman should be finally fully healthy..

        4.) If numbers 1-3 are all true, then wouldn’t it be fairly reasonable to assume he would, at the very least, be worth a call-up for a rebuilding team like the Reds??

        I mean, at the very worst, he stinks it up, and he gets released. Although, for the best case scenario, he does well and makes the most of his call-up, which would then allow the Reds to trade him at the deadline for a decent return…

        I just don’t see any possible scenario where the Reds lose by giving Coleman a chance. However, it is all said and done now, so now we will never really know regardless…

          The reds also have a solid bullpen. Their starting pitching is dead last in the MLB. Why give up a roster spot on someone valuable for someone without a great future?

      Nobody was going to trade anything of value for Coleman.

    Mets should pick up Coleman, or literally anyone on the FA reliever market

      Would the Mets take a stab at trying to acquire either Jose Ramirez, Arodys Vizcaino, or Jim Johnson?? Which all three are controllable assets through at least the 2018 season.

      Since I can pretty safely assume you’re most likely a Mets fan, I am just curious how you might value those three RP’s. As in, what kind of package could you see the Mets offering the Braves for each individual pitcher.

      Basically, could you come up with THREE separate trades, in order for the Mets to acquire Ramirez, Vizzy, and Johnson.

      I try to be fair in my trade proposals, but there’s a part of me that thinks I’m either going to overvalue my favorite team’s players, or sometimes I get self-conscious about that, so in turn, I undervalue their players…lol
