Is there any reason to be excited about David Welch?

This outing, and his recent 7 Inning no-hitter aside, the strike out/walk ratio is pretty meager, and he’s already 25. He’s a guy I’d like to be excited about, but I’m just not.

Gamel

nice game at the plate but it looks like he did his Braun impression at third.

we've had him all season

but he was doing longish middle relief (8×1.0 IP, 10×1.1 to 2.0 IP, mostly 6th & 7th inning duty) until being moved to the rotation recently…replacement for DiFelice, I guess.

Chris Cody sure dominating at WV

Was he injured until recently and is just getting his feet wet at Low-A like they did with Zach Braddock early on? Now four appearances with 25 IP, 24 K and just 13 hits and 3 walks…

He's the wrestler, right?

Yeah, he was injured

He was at A+ for Detroit when we acquired him last year, and we had him in A+ too. He was 23 then, which is old for A+, so 24 now in A is really askew. He’s going to be moved up soon, I’d have to think. He’s kind of a sleeper, not very good stuff, but good results. Think Will Inman, but old for his leagues instead of young.

He's extremely quick and good.
