KTAR: Schoeneweis to leave the team, Schlereth called up

According to KTAR, Scott Schoeneweis has decided to take a leave of absence from the Diamondbacks after what has obviously been a difficult season for him, both on and off the field. Schoeneweis has put up a 15.00 ERA over 9 innings and 19 appearances since he returned to the club in early June this year.
In his place, the Diamondbacks have recalled Daniel Schlereth from Mobile. Schlereth has posted a 1.01 ERA in AA this season and in his last three appearances has pitched three innings with 8 strikes outs. He did join the club in May this year for a few weeks, and had a 9.64 ERA, but I wonder if he had some bad luck there. Schlereth had 5 of the 7 baserunners he allowed to reach score against him, despite opponents only hitting .222 off of him, so hopefully he can be a bit more successful at stranding runners.

Extremely sad
And I’m glad the organization left it up to Schoenweis. If we were competing, that’s one thing, but since we’re not it was refreshing to see them put something more important than baseball first.

Very classy
Pedro Cerrano: Jesus, I like him very much, but he no help with curveball.
Eddie Harris: You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?
Although I guess the downside is
That it kept Schlereth in Mobile for so long…

Was he demoted
BEFORE (hopefully) or AFTER his dad moved all the stuff from his apartment in Mobile?

Rotten luck
You got to feel for Scott and what he’s been through. I don’t really know what else to say.
Wear your own fur.
Feel better, Scott.
Thanks for giving it a go.
Welcome back to the bigs, Lil’ Stink.

The right move
It was right for the organization to leave the decision up to Scott; it was right of Scott to realize this is the best decision for his family and the team. Hard decision, right decision.
Good work by all involved.

This is one of the things I love about the Diamondbacks
The organization as a whole is a class act. All the best to Scott and his family.
Apparently Schlereth
had been on the DL with a broken rib. Ouch.

I'd heard it was a strained rib...

Rib injuries SUCK.
I bruised a couple ribs at KFMA Fall Ball in 2006, and that was nasty enough.

Especially when they indicate that more injuries are to come
Schlereth just will never stay healthy. It’s sad but true.

His delivery has more violence than Max Scherzer's
It’s just not going to be effortlessly repeatable enough to let him avoid the occasional muscle pull or tweak or eventual major blow-out of his elbow/shoulder/etc. IIRC, as soon as he was picked, there was a report on him that said something along the lines of “has toxic stuff, but injuries will be his downfall – it will be fun while it lasts.”

Made me LOL, too.

that
and i knew exactly the face you made back to him.
Pedro Cerrano: Jesus, I like him very much, but he no help with curveball.
Eddie Harris: You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?
Ouch
I knew he had been on the DL for something, but couldn’t remember. He’s been strong since he came back, though.

Best of luck to Schoenweis. Surprised that they brough Schlereth back up, though. Not sure what the rush is with him. Why start the clock on his MLB time?

College relievers picked in the 1st round
Are picked with the intent of being in the majors ASAP. Plus the clock on his MLB time is mildly irrelevant because injuries may dramatically shorten his career.

i don’t think it’s ever irrelevant. especially in a season that is already lost.

I don't think it's more important to have Schlereth under control
As it is to get him adjusted to MLB hitters for next season when we plan on contending.

He isn't going to last forever.
It was a short-sighted first-round pick because we felt we could contend this/next year and needed to plug another piece into the bullpen.

okay… then shut him down. i never like wasting mlb service time even if you think it’s a given he’s going to break down.

Think of what the Dodgers did with Broxton
They’ve ridden him and ridden him in the majors even though he’s also a guy who’s going to have one of those inevitable breakdowns because of how much torque he creates in his arm by throwing so hard.
If it allows him to get used to the type of hitter he’s going to have to face at this level over the next couple of years, then it will provide a benefit, and isn’t exactly “wasting service time.”

Broxton
has the advantage of being absolutely ENORMOUS, though.

No, he isn't,
but Broxton’s still got at least 50 lbs on him.

That's because Broxton
Has the girth of Mo Vaughn and the height of Bryan Augenstein (first moderately tall pitcher to come to my mind – sorry it wasn’t a more famous example…).

i think it shows a lack in trust (perhaps deserving) in our minor league pitching staff to teach him up.

There's
no teaching like the real deal. You fight like you train.

I think that they're thinking
That he only has so many innings in him – make them count.

I'm
going to post a link to this at Halos Heaven. IIRC, they still love Scott over there.

Interesting way to go about it
Allows him to get paid for the rest of the season, I believe, rather than a release.
