Dont see this being discussed anywhere.

Why do you sign some swinging dick to steal starts from our superlative 'spects?

Since he came from ARI I assume it was in exchange for a couple of 2017 Braves Turner Field season ticket licenses.

He came from Chicago.

AKA Super-Double-South Chicago, so, same diff.

 

[Southcack77]

I like the move. Should be a useful piece somewhere.

 

[msstate7]

Wonder if we continue to let him relieve or move to starter

 

[Tapate50]

Got Wieland too from Seattle

 

[50PoundHead]

I see they gave up cash for these two. Norm or Dave?

Weiland placed on Gwinnett roster. Surprising that he'd be eligible for Gov. Cup playoff. But after that bullpen gag last night I'm OK with any kind of help.

Turns out he's damaged goods. Can't go due to a right ear injury.

MLBTR indicates that Collmenter has a mutural $2.25 mil. option with a $150 K buyout. Apparently he looked very good in those late AAA starts.

Collmenter was really good with the Diamondbacks for a while.... wonder what happened.

This is a great move nonetheless.

He sucks. His fastball sits mid 80s. Not a ML starter.

Extreme flyball pitcher that never struck anyone out who lost velocity. Not a good recipe for sustained success in Zona.
