We hardly knew him.

They should have outrighted Whitefield to the KBO.

Why was Valdez even brought up to begin with? 

[HanfordGuy]

Even though Whitefield has yet to get a hit in his 11 ABs (0-12 Career) in 2022, according to Baseball Reference he still has a better WAR -0.3 than Jo Adell -0.5 this year.

Did Suarez even get 2 starts down in the minors ?

To potentially cover the need for an innings-eater in last night's game since Barria pitched so many innings on Monday.

I hear you, but why not just use Suarez for that? Suarez is back up now and I can’t imagine it will be to start. Seems odd, but what do I know.

Too bad about Valdez. I’m hoping he makes it through waivers and we can reclaim him. He was pitching well for the Bees.

Suarez started and threw 5 IP on the 12th. Maybe they didn't want him to throw again last night (even though that would have been 4 days of rest).

[HanfordGuy]

Every time Whitefield didn’t get a hit, I would hear in my head, <in Australian accent> “You call that an AB?”

Thanks. I didn’t realize that and that makes sense.

Not awesome imo

Whitefield must be pretty good if he’s going to AA, if that AAA vs AA thread is any indication.
