Rays Call Up Colin Poché, Send Casey Sadler to Triple-A
5 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays have a number of exceedingly interesting pitchers in their minor league system, and on Saturday, they chose to promote one of the more intriguing ones. Colin Poché has been a strikeout machine in the minors the past three-to-four years and last season, he was exceptional across the board at Double-A and Triple-A, going 6-0 with a 0.82 ERA and 0.79 WHIP. This year, however, he's struggled greatly to limit hits and runs with a 6.26 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 27 1/3 innings. Regardless, his 48 strikeouts during those 27 1/3 innings ensure that there's still some nasty strikeout potential looming. Casey Sadler, meanwhile, has been bouncing up-and-down between the majors and Triple-A all year and he's done a solid job when called upon by the Rays with a 1.76 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. There's a good chance he'll be up again soon. Both pitchers should be left on waivers as they have undefined roles with the team.
