Pickoff Moves, Lunchtime Edition
Actually, post-lunchtime edition. Really need to get these out quickly --
Brett Tomko Moved To Bullpen
He was awful with the Reds, Mariners, Padres, and Cards, but somehow the Giants got Brett Tomko to turn in a decent 4.04 ERA in 194 IP last year. However, it marked the first time in his career he was under 4.50 in more than 130 IP, and sure enough, he's come tumbling back to earth with a 5-10 record and a 5.19 ERA. So, the Giants have demoted Tomko to the bullpen. Tomko was the losing pitcher in Sunday's 16-0 extravaganza against the resurgent A's.The Giants have not selected a pitcher to replace him for his next start.
Cubs Return Wood To Rotation, DFA Borowski
The Cubs returned starter Kerry Wood after a rehab assignment; to make room for him, former closer Joe Borowski was DFA'd. Borowski was ineffective this year, with a 6.65 ERA and 0-0 record.Mark Mulder Wonders, Where's The Best Of Me?
Is Billy Beane a genius? I don't know, but I still think moving Mulder and Hudson was a good idea; they still had value but were injury prone. Viz this St. Louis Post-Dispatch story:"Watching him pitch, I'm sitting there going, 'God, I used to do that all the time. Why can't I do this?'" Mulder said recently. "Go eight innings, 85 pitches? I would do that six out of eight or 10 starts. It wasn't hard to watch, it was good to watch because, God, I used to do that all the time.Via BTF."What the hell is wrong with me?"
