Heaney ?

[JustATroutFan]

Nice present for pitching well today in an Angels' win, isn't it?

[DMVol]

He certainly deserves to be back Sept 1st, if not sooner....

There's no need for him with an upcoming series against Seattle in which we'll probably need another bullpen arm.

Nothing to see here. 

He'll be back.

anyone > Nolasco

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

I thought they would send down Cesar for a bullpen arm. We don't need 5 OF, but Maybin looks like he's day to day at best, after being pulled for a PR after walking in today's game.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Heaney should make another rehab start Friday for Salt Lake and maybe, maybe we will get him back, maybe.

As someone pointed out to me in another thread, Nolasco has dominated the Mariners.  We need him this weekend.

Nolasco will pitch against someone with an 11+ ERA on Friday. Heaney makes a rehab start Friday also. Hopefully that means Heaney can take Nolasco spot the following start.

I asked Fletcher and he said Meyer is playing catch, but still has a bit to go.

[Billy_Ball]

I read that Bailey's rehab assignment at Salt Lake is going well.

Thanks @Chuckster70

If Nolasco loses to a guy with an 11.00 ERA, then it's time for him to go!

I agree.  If Nolasco doesn't get at least three hits off that guy, release that fucker.

Well, you know AO historically those type of guys own us..

[Chuck]

So back to Scribner....

What is everyone's thoughts after seeing him pitch a few times now?

Fastball 88-90 mph, but he commands it well. Seems to jump on the hitters, so perhaps it looks like a low 90's 93 MPH heater to opposing batters. Seems to have a great curveball and average-solid changeup. 

[mtangelsfan]

At best he would fill in for injuries and spot start.

He had the O's batters off balance.

Definately worth further chances, as he has multiple offerings, which works better in a starting role.

[Chuck]

Agreed. I would rather have a guy like Scribner who keeps the opposition off-balanced than have a guy throwing mid to high 90's heat that's all over the place. 

I think he can profile well as a back end starter. Give you some good starts. I'm not sure why he was pulled yesterday after having thrown just 67 pitches through 5 innings. 

[Troll Daddy]

Angels are very high on Scribner ... no worries 

[Chuck]

He kind of reminds me of a young David Cone, minus Cone's heater. 

There's a lot of rise on his FB and some good movement, cutting action. 

He's got that same slow curveball, but can also spin off a tighter, faster hook.
