He’s in the Twins system as a reliever now, and he’s bounced back and forth between AAA and the majors a few times this year.

I believe he also got ejected from that game for hitting Ryan Howard. If memory serves me right, that was his MLB debut.

Had a couple decent years then fell off the map. The Braves thought he was going to be real good. I have no idea if he is still on baseball.

Good pitchers pitch good.
Bad pitchers get their butts handed to them.

Plus, junkballers often confound the Phillies.

Uh, and who the hell is Chuck James?

I remember watching them flash the score during the Phillies game.

Considering that Hanson, Jurrgens, Lincecum, Cain, Hudson, Lowe, Cain, Sanchez are all on the “Best” list.
