Tim Dillard Moves from Nashville Rotation to Bullpen

[ORLANDOBREWER]

According to the nashville in game broadcast he is being moved to the AAA pen because that is where his future is with Milwaukee. R. A. Dickey is going to the rotation.

 

EDIT: Subject clarity (and thanks for bringing this to our attention. We love the fact that folks are tuning in to bring us tidbits from these minor league broadcasts.)

His ceiling appears to be a middle reliever, so that makes some sense. Hopefully, his K/9 ratio will improve, he isn't much of anything striking out 4 AAA guys per 9.

He doesn't have a single impressive secondary number since A+, well at least to me.

[And That]

I had hope that he'd be able to hang around as a starter, but Tim has really gotten lit up a number of times recently. He's given up a lot of hits virtually every time out... when you have only one really good pitch, that'll happen. His upside is higher than Chris Spurling's, but they are sort of similar pitchers.

 

Good luck to Tim in his new role, and here's to an extra few ticks on that sinker in the pen!

Mike Timlin had a long, successful career as a 1 pitch sinkerballing reliever despite a poor K rate, hopefully Dillard can get to that level.
