    “I’m not going on the DL. I need to be back on the field, to keep hitting, and go to Miami for the All-Star Game. I’m not going on the DL.”

    the all star game, huh?
    delusional much?

    Believe you have your portly 1Bs mixed up.

    Broxton shat himself at the sight of Matt Stairs.

    Urias likely heading to AAA today and boy is it needed. Even though he wasn't giving up runs earlier in the season, he really didn't look right. This looks to me like a move where we probably won't see him back for a while. His mechanics are out of whack and nothing looks to be working for him yet this year. He's gonna need to get right and stay right for a few starts before I hope the team considers bringing him back. It also sounds like Josh Ravin would be the likely candidate to come back.

    I'm glad thgey are doing this...if they didn't, the " do they need a brick wall, blah blah" card would certainly be justified...
    Funny , how the LA pitching plethora that was supposed to modify and morph the way ML teams use their starting rotation not so long ago at all, to it's a "damn good thing they do have an excess of pitchers" the way they are falling by the wayside for one reason or another...total ineffectiveness or injury.
    Seems to me, this is just reaping what you sow with this type assemblage.
    For every Wood ying, there is a Urias and a Hill and a Ryu yang.
    We'll see about Mehcarthy.

    Wouldn´t be too shocking to see Julio shut down for a couple weeks here and there and/or used in different roles to keep his arm fresh while working out whatever it is they want him to work on. He was more than likely due for 2 or 3 DL stints anyway with the big club in order to keep him keep him strong and an option for the post season.

    If Wood can keep pitching like a #2 and lock that up, the heavy lifting for the FO is done..at least there. Could maybe look to add another vet arm at the deadline to compete with Julio/Hill for post-season #3 and #4 roles, but that´s about it concerning starting pitching. Thanks to Wood they can maybe go to the trade deadline locked in on replacing Puig ( again) and finding more relief help.

    Shut him down?

    Not while he's healthy and not even close to effective. He's not learning to pitch on the DL or on the sidelines. Needs to be between the lines.

    good
    i've been preaching this for a bit
    he's not mlb ready
    throws way too many pitches, trying to be too fine
    badly needs to work on his command, control and especially approach -- pitch to contact
    just my .02
