Contreras Pitching Today

[GrimZeke007]

Contreras went 1-2 with a 9.47 ERA in five starts before being sent to the minors, where he worked with Billy Connors, the organization's pitching guru. Contreras worked on his mechanics and his aggressiveness for a few days in Tampa, then made two starts for Triple-A Columbus, throwing seven innings in each, both wins. By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com

If you are considering starting Contreras against a red hot Texas offense in the ballpark in Arlington.....I would call you a wacko.

[This is the year]

Agree. I've got him in a league or two (call me crazy), but I'm sure as heck not starting him tonight. He'll probably get some work against the devil rays or something

It's Ameriquest Field, not TBIA. You're not exactly Mr. Current Affaris, are you slomo (20 points to whomever can name that quote)

Actually, there is a small pact of sports reporters in the DFW area who refuse to refer to it as Ameriquest Field, so I am doing the same...until I can remember that damn name anyway.

It will always be the Ballpark in Arlington to me.

Haha, you're crazier than I am. I traded him anyways, but he wouldn't have been in my starting lineup today if I owned him. Good call though, but be careful with him....starting him is like betting on either red or black in roulette.
