Grizzles sends Treece to Slammers

Post by Browns44 » Tue Jan 21, 2014 3:38 pm

Interesting exchange of closers between Gateway and Joliet. On the surface it would appear to be an even trade involving two of the best bullpen artists in the FL.

Towards the end of 2013 I think Treece showed sign's of his arm becoming tired. His slider was hanging and he became hittable. But the off season is when that issue is addressed.

Gateway did not use Erasmus much in 2013. Even including his numbers with Joliet he was called upon less than Treece in 2013.

While Erasmus is younger than Treece (5 months), he is an experience player which under FL rules, teams are limited to the number players in that category they can carry.

Having said all of this, the question I have is will either player sign or retire instead of playing in 2014?
