Well, after some thinking about it I guess I sort of agree with Bergesen getting sent to AAA.

Tillman may only give 5 or 6 innings but at least he keeps the game close and only gives up a run or two. Bergesen is just such a wild card, it's really 50/50 on what to expect out of him.

I don't like Tillman but I think they made the right decision. Bergesen can go to AAA and it's just a matter of getting in a good groove for a few starts and then he will be ready to take Tillman's spot (if he finds that groove of course). Tillman though, if he got sent down, would likely be down the rest of the year unless  Bergesen got hurt or was extremely ineffective.

I don't know, I guess I just think Bergy has a better shot at making the most of being demoted and can fix his problems in a few starts. Once he gets going if Tillman is still only going 5ip giving up 1 or 2 runs maybe you demote him for good and get Bergy back in the rotation.

Yeah, I think he could be a great reliever.

Last night Connor said that they are more disappointed with Bergesen due to the fact they expect so much more out of him.

20-5 when scoring 4 or more ... no excuse for this lineup not to score at least 4 every game.
