Spurling "observation"

[bobskube]

Team,

 

I am not going to throw any major stats out here on this one at all and this is strictly an observation. I think sometimes stats get in the way of things sometimes. Critique as you may.

 

Chris Spurling is not a Major League Pitcher. Period. I do understand he has had personal problems lately and I wish him the best, but at the same time he is just not good. He is very Winklesas-Simpson-esque. Batters have a great average against him and his outs are very LOUD outs. Not good. I know many people on here claim that he is what he is-and that is a mop up guy. However, he is a very bad mop up guy. I would much rather see a young guy like Parra get his chance doing that so maybe he can prove that he is not a "mop-up guy." Spurling will never be better than that though. His stuff is very, very mediocre with a "straight as a string" fastball, a curveball that hangs, and mental makeup of a 20 year old at college.

 

For anyone that thinks he should be on this roster-please post and explain to me why.

Great. Another "I hate this Brewer, because I say he was in a bar, acting badly" thread. Mods?

[bobskube]

This has nothing really to do with the bar, buddy. Just an added thought. The guy is not a MLB pitcher. That is the point.

Let's use the Spurling thread that's in the designated threads list, or as an option, post to the vent thread.
