Goes down ... and down ... and down ... and never comes up again. I can hardly see this guy cracking a rotation with the likes of Wang and Detwiler in the wings. Nice guy, can hit a wee bit, but just pitches well enough to lose.

Riggs said as much in that quote and anyone watching these games knows as much as well. He also just got straight up unlucky. He's a way better pitcher than Atilano, obviously, but hasn't really had that opportunity to shine. <br /><br />It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Stammen in long relief in the pen and Walker DFA'd before the season is over.<br /><br />Look at how well Clippard improved after being moved to the pen!Grandstandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-91076756285705268292010-06-06T23:28:48.472-04:002010-06-06T23:28:48.472-04:00Hate to see Stammen sent down, but someone had to ...Hate to see Stammen sent down, but someone had to go.
