The end of Mark Redman?

I certainly hope so, after last nights game (May 1st) this guy has clearly showed that he can't pitch. I wouldn't even want this guy starting on a single A baseball team. He has no good pitches and he throws on average about 85 mph max. He apparently has a slider, but it's hardly different from a regular fastball. A mistake signing this guy? Yes sir! I think JS was hoping he would turn out putting numbers similar to his 2003 season.

Mark Redman Pitching Stats

5 Games, 0 Wins, 4 Loses, 10.62 ERA, 2.11 WHIP, 20.1 IP, 9 walks, 12 strikeouts

Can anyone look at these numbers with a straight face?

Possible replacements are Buddy Carlyle, Anthony Lerew, and Jonathon Johnson from the minors. I would go with Lerew here and give him a few starts. There is no way he or any of these guys can do worse than Redman.
