Yonder Alonso Traded To The Padres

NL Rookie of the Year
DOB recently said he's not even throwing off a mound (he's long tossing to try to build arm strength). So, he's not an option this year, and given that they're apparently trying to change Newcomb's delivery now, he's not going to be one either.
Sucks so much that when we finally got a good bullpen, our rotation went in this turmoil.

Interesting. Does anyone know an example of a guy that changed delivery at mlb level successfully?

Why is talk about Folty and Newk being had in the topic about Alonzo???
Just more off topic talk.

I think it's pretty common for guys who have reached the majors to change their delivery.

And Smoltz
Hopefully his mechanics are right on the money.

I hope it's not Norm Cash. He's dead. Dave Cash is 72. Kevin Cash is only 42, but he's currently managing the Rays.

Braves didn't need Alonso, so they sent him yonder.

As I recall, Smoltz switched back to his natural delivery in AA, not the majors.
Except for that time he became a side-armer over night.
Looking forward to you explaining how that's not really "changing his delivery", since you're never wrong.

I did forget about that; that certainly counts.
Pleasant to hear from you as always Enscheff.
