Eveland Not Called Up

by battlekow on May 4, 2006 8:06 PM CDT in Milwaukee Brewers News

The Brewers haven't announced who they're going to call up to take Tomo Ohka's roster spot, but by allowing Dana Eveland to start tonight's game in Nashville, it's apparent that it won't be him. This means that in all likelihood, Ben Hendrickson is going to get the start on Saturday, working on short rest after throwing 78 pitches on Tuesday.

Update [2006-5-4 21:20:5 by battlekow]:
I didn't see Adam McCalvy's piece on the Brewers' website. The Brewers have recalled Jared Fernandez but not yet announced whether he or Hendrickson will start on Saturday, or even if it will be one of those two:

"That's not all the options," a cryptic Brewers manager Ned Yost said before boarding the team charter to Los Angeles. "I'll wait, make my mind up -- maybe -- tomorrow. We've got time."

Well, I don't believe him. Hendrickson and Fernandez are the only options, and given those options, I'm praying for rain.

Well, yes...

But Capellan pitched today, and as underwhelming as Fernandez and Hendrickson have been, Lehr has been even moreso.

Another option

Zach Jackson? This is just a thought, I haven't checked to see how he's doing so far this year, and I doubt he's ready, but considering the other options, it's an idea.

Cryptic Neddy

I guess he could start people on short rest, switch to a 4-man rotation with shorter starts, though that seems asinine, especially now that Doug Davis is getting back to Doug Davis form.

My bet is Henrickson gets the start, unless the mysterious Demaria has some starting ability we don't know about.

We need another lopsided trade with Toronto. Wait, they don't have any good pitching left. Trade Cirillo for Halladay? Halladay and a prospect?

Demaria

I'd be curious to know why, exactly, Demaria is even in the major leagues. He's pitched four times since being called up on the 18th.

Dustin McGowan's pretty good

and I think he's in their pen. He was Doug's first target in the Overbay trade talks. I'd take him.

I'm really not all that concerned about not calling up Dana. I mean, he's had what, five good starts? That's great, and I hope he continues his success, but he couldn't get ML batters out in spring training. I would be careful not to disrupt his routine this early and put him into a tough situation that might reverse all of his April gains. We might only need one or two starts before going back to Rick Helling ("Plan B's Plan A") so there's no need to put too much pressure on anybody. Especially if Hendrickson can be no worse than mediocre.

Moises

This has nothing to do with this topic, but watching today's game just comfirmed one thing to me.....Moises Alou is among my least favorite players in baseball. He never, ever hustles, as seen with his two misplays in the outfield today. He bitches constantly at the umpires. He plays like a spoiled coach's son, which he is. He's the type of player that makes people not want to watch baseball, and worst of all, he played for the Cubs. There, I feel better now.
