Ian Snell

Charlie has a long post about Ian Snell and why he won't be pitching in the AFL. I don't know what Ian Snell has done, but it seems clear that the organization doesn't have any plans for him. He was called up this year with Littlefield declaring he would get a chance to start on the major league level, then was used spottily out of the pen, made two spot starts, and was sent back down. He was then called back up and pitched well in two starts before having the rotation shuffled so he couldn't make his last start. That's gotta be considered the pitchers version of "Craig Wilson treatment." The fact is, he's got a great minor league record and to this point he's been treated like crap by this organization, which may explain his purported "bad attitude." All I know is that we've got a ton of lefties, but Snell is one of the few righties and I think we need to be careful.
