And Matt Bowman recalled by the O's

Another strong SP prospect that the Cardinals moved to the bullpen too early... he had shown a good pitch mix, innings build, durability, and suppressed HR at every level until he was a 22 year old in AAA. The Cardinals sent him to the major league bullpen and never looked back.

22 starts, 116 IP, 3.88 ERA / 1.36 WHIP / 7.4 K per 9 at age 19 (A-Ball)
24 starts, 134 IP, 3.22 ERA / 1.28 WHIP / 7.4 K per 9 at age 20 (High-A + AA)
25 starts, 140 IP, 4.17 ERA / 1.32 WHIP / 9.5 K per 9 at age 21 (AA)

Then he gets beat up a bit with HR as a 22 year old his first turn through AAA, and the Cards permanently banish him to the bullpen. I had some optimism for him, but he's another in a long line of poorly utilized SP prospects.

His problem is between his ears

Wasn't he hitting batters in the head and face regularly two years ago or so?

My wife follows baseball kinda 50/50 so I am lucky she doesn't mind having games on in our house . So sometimes I pick her brain on trades, acquistions , etc. to get an unbiased perspective. Asked her 'The Cubs acquired Genesis . What is your opinion, hon ? She replied, 'Surprises me , If I was them I would have gone for a Mercedes ! She is half Irish ..no not a blonde , a short brunette .
