Catching up on minor league moves from around baseball….
- The Cardinals outrighted Seth Elledge to Triple-A Memphis after the righty cleared waivers. Elledge was designated for assignment prior to the Cards’ appearance in the NL wild card game. The right-hander has pitched exactly 11 2/3 innings for St. Louis in each of the last two seasons, and also posted identical 4.63 ERAs in both campaigns. Originally acquired by the Mariners for Sam Tuivailala in July 2018, Elledge has some solid numbers at the lower levels of the minors but has struggled in two seasons at Triple-A, with a 5.66 ERA over 70 innings for Memphis.
Wow. This guy seems like he purely doesn’t matter at all.
I typically prefer to use the term “purely sucks” but his numbers weren’t quite bad enough to qualify for that. He definitely doesn’t matter. In any situation. For any team. Probably ever.
Or he’s 25 years old and still has time to figure things out.
Wow…..
The guy faced 52 batters in both of his seasons.. and had the same results.
Consistency.
Consistently purely not mattering. Or consistently purely sucking. You have to figure if he didn’t suck he would get better opportunities from a team that isn’t even loaded. 25 is not young for an MLB pitcher. How old was Doc Gooden when he won a Cy Young? Oh, yeah. 19 years old. Maybe it was just all the cocaine helping him. I strongly doubt it though. Cocaine addiction is an obstacle and not a benefit. So what’s this guy’s excuse for still sucking when he’s 25 years old again? His excuse is probably that he just sucks.
