AA still with his HS GF. She's left him 17 times during the span, but he always takes her back.

Ian almost certainly is useless, but relief is the only hope at this point. Send him straight to AAA as a reliever. Fastball and change only

I guess the Braves won that trade

He’s a pen man- and may be a good one. No walks. One inning of max gas and change.
I bet it works - at least worth a shot.

There are worse arms to gamble on. Like button

Fully expecting Uncle Charlie to be on the team by June.

Anderson has racked up -0.6 WAR in 9 1/3 IP with seven walks, 17 hits and an ERA of 11.57.

Guys, he's just done.

I think he can be a good bullpen arm. His days as a starter should be finnish

He doesn't need to start another game. But he might be useful out of the pen. Certainly it looks like Dodd might be benefitting from that transition. I would rather Ian work on that in Gwinnett though.

Exactly about AAA.

He can't go to AAA without clearing waivers. He is out of options if I am remembering correctly. This is AA just trying anything to cover his dumb ass offseason disaster. I honestly don't know if he is any worse than Holmes as a starter at this point. That is not a compliment either.

If he clears, great. If he doesn't, great

true

You guys are funny. He was coming out of the pen for the Angels and was the worst pitcher in the league. He can’t get anyone out regardless of.

 

[MadduxFanII]

The Statcast data puts his fastball velocity this year at 93.7 MPH, which is slower than his starter days. He sure doesn't seem to be enjoying that massive reliever velocity spike people have been counting on.

 

[msstate7]

How good is his change up? Who is the yankee reliever that just throws change ups out of the pen?

If I were putting money on it, I'd say Ian is done... but I could see him figuring it out in the BP. He's definitely done as a starter.

Lol... Eddie is back. Also, I honestly think Ian's fastball/changeup/curveball mix could play well out of the bullpen, but he'd need to sharpen his command (by a lot) to even have a small shot at success.
