07/23: J.B. Cox
Posted by: James
Why is this kid not in AAA yet? (No, I'm being serious. If anyone out there has an idea, please let me know.)
Cox could have been promoted there a month ago. That way, who knows, if he had performed well in AAA, we could have a choice of Matt Smith, T.J. Beam or J.B. Cox chomping at the bit to help the big club's bullpen. Instead, he's been dominating AA all season long to the tune of a 1.39 ERA and 41 H, 21 BB and 50 Ks in 64.2 IP. In 33 appearances, he has had six in which he has given up an earned run.
He's been even better recently and hasn't given up a run since the 4th of JUNE! In that time, here's his line: 26 IP, 9 H, 9 BB and 20 Ks. All I can say to that is wow. Keep up the good work J.B., you'll be up in NY hanging out with Mo before you know it.
