Brent Suter's contract selected, will start tomorrow in Seattle

[brewmann04]

He deserve a look and continue to worry now that Davies has struggled.

[jerichoholicninja]

This is a nice story but this feels like the pitching version of Wilkins and Elmore where we don't want to waste our real prospects service time. The exception being Arcia of course.

 

I have a feeling he is brought up as cannon fodder, but maybe they have plans for him to be in the 2017 rotation?

 

Not even close to the same. Those guys are AAAA 25th man roster filler who almost certainly will not be Brewers next year.

i'm predicting rob scahill optioned, domingo santana activated, and one of ramon flores or kirk nieuwenhuis designated for assigment to make room on the 40-man and 25-man roster for suter.

Theyll probably put Houser on the 60. No need to DFA anyone.

I don't think they would want to pay Houser and give him service time.

granted it was under doug melvin, but in 2014, the brewers could've recalled johnny hellweg and put him on the 60-day disabled list but never did.

 

when a player optioned to the minor leagues is recalled just to be put on the 60-day disabled list, it essentially doubles the cost of bringing up a guy making his mlb debut like suter, because the club has to pay both players a major league salary, and as noted, they both accrue service time.

Davies is only 23, and probably will improve. It's just his first full season in MLB.

[clancyphile]

One other trivia item: Suter's 5.36 K/BB ratio is fourth among all starting pitchers.

 

The only three above him:

Jon Perrin (7.71), Victor Diaz (7.00), and David Burkhalter (5.75).

[dacbrewers]

Anyone remember Brad Mills...2014 was hs best.

[monty57]

Good for Suter. Let's hope he can pitch well and earn a rotation spot going into 2017.

The guy has certainly been productive no doubt. I am willing to give him a break since he pitched in CS.

 

Still, the guy will be 27 on August 29th.

if i had a nickel for every person who remembers 2014 brad mills, i'd have less than what the brewers got for him in a trade.

[StearnsFTW]

Get ready for this pace --

 

 

Outstanding. I like him more already.

Good. The anti Scott Karl. Didnt he pitch when we had that catcher from the Diamondbacks? 3 hour games

[jjkoestler]

Happy Clancy and Suter day!

Unfortunately Seattle will do every thing possible to throw his rhythm off.

Brent hopefully is the lefthanded version of Mike Fiers. There's reasons to believe he is. If he is we've mined a very nice asset.

You're not thinking of Doug Davis pitching to Chad Moeller, are you? I seem to remember Davis just taking forever, not to mention, he was a nibbler (again, as I remember - haven't looked up anything on him) so each at-bat would just drag on. Ugh. SHARPIE!

[recte44]

For National Clancy Day, there's something that the Brewers forgot to mention. Suter will be starting at catcher.

And Ryan Braun has been moved back to third base. :P

The two catchers who came from the D'Backs were Chad Moeller and Johnny Estrada. Karl preceded them both.

Johnny Estrada. That was a bad nightmare. Dude ate himself out of the league.

[Point Beer Is Best]

And I'm pretty sure that Doug Davis (the other pitcher mentioned) was actually dealt to Arizona in the Estrada deal.

i was close. damien magnifico optioned, santana activated and flores designated for assignment. if the brewers wish to outright flores to the minor leagues, he cannot refuse the assignment.

[djoctagone]

does anyone know the last time a brewers starting pitcher made his mlb debut in an american league park?

Yup that's the tandem. Grrrrrrrrrr.

[pacopete4]

After watching Suter last night I just don't see how he can sustain success as a starter in the MLB. That third time around the smacked him around like he owed them money.

Maybe, maybe not. Jungmann, Peralta, Garza and the rest get "pretty smacked around" all the time. As Hillary would say... "At this point, what does it matter!"

[Boomer5]

There wasn't anything to like about his chances to make it last night. His command would have to be perfect to get MLB hitters out.

 

What made him productive down in the minors? Changing speeds?
