Anderson needs to go to Toledo when Verlander is back. 

He'd have to go through waivers first.   No way he'd make it.  No Friggin' Way. 

 

I don't think Verlander is coming back until it's consistently 80 degrees out.

The Doosan Bears would claim him in a heartbeat.

tour de france riders close, though mostly artificially enhanced

I don’t think that’s true anymore. It used to be, but all the secret secrets have been revealed and they test for them. That doesn’t make up, however, for the studied conceit that the teams, their physicians and the UCI itself all okayed.

I've thought of that but Flaherty is useless in the pen. Not even for long relief, if he can't throw strikes.

DD was talking about Jack usually losing it after 10 more batters - if that were true you might able to use him in long relief in place of the way Hinch wants to use Anderson, but the 10 batters in thing certainly wasn't true tonight - 3 walks in the 1st 7 batters.

Possibly for now, but in general sport only tends to be clean temporarily in the aftermath of each crackdown, then in pretty short order the miscreants regain their lead over the gendarmes.

The winner of the marathon ran an average time of 4:39 per mile.  Elite marathon runners might be the most amazing athletes in all of sports.  

I can do a 35s 200m, barely. I would have to be full out to even approach a 70s 400m and likely would fail. No way I can do a 2:20 800m. So if I sprinted I might have a chance of keeping up with the leaders for the first 1 minute out of a 121 minute race, lol.

Do we have an estimated time table on Melton?

Injured pitchers do not have time tables.  They are back when they are back.

So we move Flaherty to the pen and he's replaced in the rotation by ... whom, again?

Drew Anderson.  He was lights out in Korea last year.
