Phillies No Longer Stumpfed By Stumpf

Sometimes Rule 5 players are just bad.

The Phillies on Thursday DFA'd Daniel Stumpf. The Rule 5 pick will now be offered back to his original team, the Kansas City Royals. The Royals can pay the Phillies $25,000 for the honor of taking him or ask that the Phillies please keep him away from their bullpen.

If you need any convincing:

Stumpf’s ERA by Game

I would do something fancy for the infinite it was after his first game, but frankly I might have already spent too much time making the graph (which I really should have made to log scale).

Anyway, Severino Gonzalez back up to the majors where he was interesting before. Brett Oberholtzer now once again the only lefty in the bullpen.

Go about your day.
