So today James Hoyt was placed on the DL. That could be important because to the conventional way of thinking, Hoyt was the "next man up" from Fresno in case any Astros reliever were sidelined due to injury or bad performance.
Pitchers on the 40-man (and therefore procedurally and financially easier to call up) include: Buddy Boshers, Reymin Guduan, Francis Martes, David Paulino, and Cionel Perez. Beyond those guys, there are many minor leaguers (McCurry, Nunn, Stutzman, Bailey, the list goes on and on...) who could conceivably be placed on the 40-man and then the active roster.
If I had to choose two guys currently on the 40-man to be the "next guy up" it would be Paulino and then Perez. However I am really impressed by Brendan McCurry so I hope he gets added to the 40 man soon.

Should we wait to see which one goes to the bathroom right before the first pitch?

However I am really impressed by Brendan McCurry so I hope he gets added to the 40 man soon. i don't understand why Hoyt is still on the 40-man roster. There has to be better options. I would rather have Paulino. Hoyt has done basically nothing to keep from being released. |
