He started off 2009 badly, 3 GS, 3 in relief over 22.1 IP with a 7 something ERA reduced walks AND Ks and increased HR.He spent the remainder of the year at AAA did fairly well with a 3.46 ERA, 1.25 WHIP over 125 IP lowered homers and walks, and increased K/9 to 6.8.He's one of those guys who has minor league success but has a replica Longines L4.756.8.72.2 watch tough time translating it to ML success.I would guess that he'd be stashed in AAA along with Bazardo.Tim Byrdak, age 36, LH RP: one of Ed Wade's scrap heap pick up middle reliever success stories (see, I DO give Fast Eddie credit when credit is due) in ST 2008.
He posted a 108 ERA+ over 55 innings in 08 and a 130 ERA+ over 61 IP in 09.(By the way, he is supposed to be the exact same size as Wandy 5′11″ and 195 lb all yall look at them next time you can, see who is larger hint, it ain't the Wand Man…) Last year, he had 2 BS (both L) and 9 holds.He was used quite a bit as a LOOGY, although leftys hit a little bit better against him: .700 OPSA vs .640.But that is just year to replica Longines L2.156.0.73.4 Ladie's watch year variation as in 08, leftys hit .469 OPS against and rightys hit 1.005 OPSA.He is certainly capable of pitching 1 full inning, even 2, and it will be interesting to see how Brad Mills uses relievers.NRI Gustavo Chacin, age 29, LH SP: now this one really IS 5 but last I saw him, he was a HECK of a lot more than 205 lb.
Anyway, he was signed out of Venezuela by the Blue Jays in 98, had a cup of coffee in 04, then pitched 205 VERY good innings in 05 with a 119 ERA+ but, um, let's say he sure nuff didn't repeat his excellence in 06 at the ML level.Don't know why replica Longines L2.670.4.51.6 Men's watch maybe he was hurt, maybe he was eating too many donuts, but he spent the next couple of years bouncing between the ML club and AAA, doing lousy.After 45 execrable innings in 08 at AAA, he was either released or went on the DL.
