In 32 games (29 starts) for the Rockies the 27-year-old is 8-11, with a 5.32 ERA. In Triple-A this season he's 6-7, with a 6.66 ERA in 20 games (16 starts). In 101.1 innings he's allowed 75 earned runs on 130 hits, walked 35 and struck out 59. Opponents are hitting .310 against him.
Now, I'm not sure on the spelling of his name, Hoch has "Hirsch" but baseball-reference and ESPN have Hirsh. I'll go with the latter for now.
Numbers are not so great, 130 Hits, 35 walks, 59 SO in 101 innings....yikes.
ReplyDeleteYea, this move doesn't get me too excited. Cashman probably isn't intended on having him pitch in the pros, but maybe he fixes himself. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteRegardless it's not going to cost them much.
This move is going to do nothing but help them, they didn't give up anything, maybe they can catch lightning in a bottle? If he stinks leave him where he is.
ReplyDeleteTrue, plus Scranton was desperately in need of a starter.
ReplyDeleteJason Hirsh was a highly regarded prospect from Houston. He was traded to the Rockies with Willy Taveras in the Jason Jennings deal, I believe.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the move I wanted the Yanks to make. He has a chance to be the next Chacon (the good one), and if he doesn't, it wasn't exactly a high-risk move.
Represent your religion, Jason! Make me proud!

It's Hirsh. My bad.
ReplyDeleteHey Bryan, no problem at all. I just think it's cool that you posted a comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteSo he stunk in the majors AND AAA? I gotta admit, we don't have any of those.
ReplyDeleteJust a depth move. I believe Scranton was short a starter.
