Wouldn't that loser Blanton be out before Frasor?
The Indians are a better team than we are.
Is there a good reason why Volquez needed 7 days rest? Did I miss something?

Frasor has a 0.52 ERA, and I am not totally sure he isn't the odd man out once Medlen is ready to join the team. The last 39 batters he has faced. He has gotten 21 out. Allowed 12 hits, and 6 walks (1 was intentional). He hasn't had a 1-2-3 inning the last 9 times he has pitchedVolquez-Ventura-Vargas-Young-Duffy-GutsMedlen-Morales-Hoch-Madson- and then HDHThat is 13 pitchers and only 1 lefty in the bullpen unless Duffy ends up being there. Things can change by the time Medlen is on this roster, but I don't think any of these guys have any options available to send down to Omaha. Frasor just might end up being some trade bait kinda like Danny Valencia ended up being last year
I know one thing, he looked great. He was commanding his fastball, commanding his breaking pitches. I mean, there was all kinds of life. The ball was just exploding out of his hand.

This team can't hit anymore.
