Day of the Dinks ™
April 24th, 2010 by Eric Kesselman in Player DiscussionBig day for me.
I've got Carmona and Hochevar both going. Are they for real?
Or will they go all Bruce Chen on me?
One year several seasons back I made the insane mistake that Bruce Chen was not just pitchable, but actually decent. Perhaps 'idiot' should be added as a third choice to 'agnostic' and 'genius'? Ever since I have been haunted of visions of him, and his 8+ ERA. I see the Royals have just added Bruce Chen to their bullpen today for Hochevar's start. Coincidence??
Across town, a pair of Liss owned dinks Romero and Niemann are going head to head. Are they for real?
A lot of teams are defined by how their low end gambles pay off. Today will be a big a big day in getting a sense of these guys.

Well the results are now in. It seems clear that Carmona is now a stud pitcher again, Hochevar is good but got slightly unlucky, and both Niemann and Romero continue to lucksack.
i am strongly revising my assessments.
Hochevar! Clearly that 9 ER 2 IP thing was a fluke.
