Anybody that's giving up on him is crazy, but he has been very disappointing since the second half of last season for sure.

Hopefully he figures it out |

Viz to the IL
Who could have imagined that... Oh wait.. everyone could imagine that.
We seriously need to move on from this guy. He gets hurt every single year and he's not great when he's not.

When you add up all of his off time for injuries, I don't think he's had a year where he was healthy for anywhere near half a season yet. |

He wasn't even asked to pitch in 3 consecutive games this year... that has historically meant an automatic trip to the injured
list dating back to Frego days.
It's time to realize this is just the norm with Viz and move on.

It's time to realize this is just the norm with Viz and move on. Yeah he actually hasn't even pitched 2 days in a row this year. He only appeared in 4 games and they were all every other day.
I think the problem is we wouldn't let him wear his hat the way he wanted to. It's created an imbalance that has janked up his arm.

In the end, we got a AAAA pitcher for Simmons -- at least Dansby has made it as a defensive shortstop & he is really hitting this yr, we will see how the offense goes - so that makes the Simmons deal less of a bitter pill to take
In Newcomb, we wound up with a big arm with big stuff but it could not be put together
Does he have any trade value??? Its low right now
Look at the recent disappointments in this run of prospects, Allard, Gohara and it looks the same for Newcomb if he cannot get his control issues together, And he is not some 19-20 yr old kid he is in his mid 20's now. How much time do you wait for
At least with a kid like Wright he is a kid in his early 20's who might get it, but this is yr 3 w/Newk and no improvement in sight

Too bad about Viz -- not the shut down closer we need.
Got to develop another Kimbrel type somewhere - they do not grow on trees. Maybe in this draft

Too bad for Newcomb, but you knew after that outing the other night that this was coming. I can't figure the guy out. He constantly has the "deer in the headlights" look when he's on the mound. Even when he's on, he never looks confident out there. Maybe it's more between the ears than anything else with him. I don't know. Of course, if I did know, I'd be making the big bucks, no?

If Newcomb can have as good a career as Alex Wood has had that is better than I expect at this point
Either he can get it done but it looks like he is not good enough
Stupid trade Coppy like most of what you did here
