Albuquerque (AAA) Pitchers Preview (2042-21)

[Fat Nige]

ALBUQUERQUE COYOTES (Triple-A)

With all the cuts from spring now known we know, more or less, what the make-up of the Coyote’s roster will look like. This is the first part of the preview, in which we look at the pitching staff. Some will be just earning a corn, looking for an injury call-up, others will actually have hope of proving they’re worth a full-time Wichita role.

The Rotation

Pitcher	Throws	Age	2041 Level	G	GS	W	L	Sv	ERA	IP	K's	BB's	WHIP	WAR
Taito Kimmonen	RHP	23	AAA	23	22	5	7	0	5.40	93.1	58	37	1.58	0.9
Mathias Lovlien	RHP	30	AAA	14	14	4	3	0	5.70	77.1	54	19	1.38	0.4
Sancho Torres	RHP	22	BBA	23	0	2	1	1	5.33	54.0	32	14	1.28	0.1
Kelly Russo	RHP	24	AAA	3	3	1	0	0	5.17	15.2	11	7	1.53	-0.1
Alberto Marino	RHP	23	AA	28	28	6	9	0	4.88	138.1	83	47	1.50	1.8

A young hungry rotation for the most part, anxious to prove they’re headed for the BBA. Lovlien is on a minor league with major league option contract so I don’t know how long he’ll be there.

The Bullpen

Pitcher	Throws	Age	2041 Level	G	GS	W	L	Sv	ERA	IP	K's	BB's	WHIP	WAR
Jesus Zapata	RHP	27	AAA	39	6	5	6	1	5.40	108.1	86	67	1.67	0.8
Miguel Morales	RHP	21	AA	50	0	6	2	16	1.40	57.2	60	19	1.06	2.2
Hokusai Saito	RHP	27	AA	27	30	7	4	1	6.88	106.0	55	62	1.83	0.8
Martin Rodriguez	RHP	25	A	33	0	1	6	9	7.68	34.0	40	11	1.50	0.1 *
Kyle Wright	RHP	36	AAA	44	0	2	1	1	3.77	88.1	54	23	1.32	0.2
Antonio Martinez	LHP	22	AA	39	1	7	2	1	2.94	110.1	101	22	0.98	1.6
Reggie Gascoigne	RHP	33	AAA	33	0	1	2	2	4.65	50.1	35	17	1.37	1.3

* 2041 stats from Boise

The bullpen is more like Wichita’s, a bit of a mess. Just a couple of pieces that are looking for a genuine BBA call-up, the rest are really marking time, looking for an injury callup to finish their career off. Traffic between Columbus, Albuquerque and the FA garbage pail could be heavy this year.


One surprising fact though is that only one of the Coyote's pitching staff posted a negative WAR in 2041, it was close though in cases, but of course the highest WAR posted by the staff was 2.2

I'd like to see Sancho Torres do something good.
