Schlereth called up, Down goes Frazier!

From Mlive.com's Steve Kornacki

CHICAGO -- The Detroit Tigers announced after Sunday's game that they were optioning outfielder Jeff Frazier to Triple-A Toledo and recalling left-handed reliever Daniel Schlereth.

Frazier hit .217 with one double and one RBI in 23 at-bats, and Schlereth had no record and a 2.45 ERA in four appearances with Detroit earlier this season.

 

Schlereth was 1-3 with a 2.37 ERA for Toledo. Schlereth had a very high number of strikeouts (60) and walks (34) in 49 1/3 innings, but had been sharp of late with a 1.26 ERA in his last 10 games.

I took the liberty of correcting the typos in the article.    

Some more numbers on Dan's work in Toledo:

He has a WHIP of 1.50 for the season, which is not very good, and opponents have hit just .219 off him.

Lefties have hit .208 and righties .225 for the season.   The overall Avg is down to .196 over the past 10 games.

He has also managed to lower his WHIP to a more respectable 1.28 in the last 10 games, dating to July 20th.

Walks continue to pile up, along with the strikeouts.   BB/9 = 6.9 and K/9 = 10.95

Schlereth pitched just 3.2 innings with the Tigers in his first call up, allowing 7 hits and 2 BB's.   Opponents hit .368

Dan's WHIP was 2.45 in his first trip this season.  

He pitched 18.1 innings with Arizona last season, posting a record of 1- 4, an ERA of 5.89, WHIP of 1.64. 

The key with Schlereth is his command.   His "stuff" is unquestionably good.
