If your Saunders trade scenarios include the notion of plugging Ezekiel Carrera in as a speedy LH 4th OF with a great eye -- which looks plenty plausible after he tore up AA with a .337 BA, .441 OBP, 59 BB, 62 K -- just note that he seems to have left his eye in the states, with 13 K and only 4 BB so far in the VWL in 75 AB.
Josh Fields consistency perhaps finally has arrived? He now has four straight AFL appearances with 0 hits, 0 ER (all 7 appearances have been 1.0 IP each). ERA 2.57, 6 K in 7.0 IP and BA against of .154.
And we've been remiss about Anthony Varvaro, who mowed down AA after being switched to the pen: 63 K in 54.1 IP, 2.82 ERA, .163 BA against (walks were kinda high though: 44 BB). He's kept it going in the AFL, with 5 K in 7.2 IP, 2.35 ERA and .192 BA against. Varvaro was drafted out of St. John's as a post-TJ project in 2005 and hasn't gotten much traction since, until now.
