Most Valuable Pitcher

Pat Neshek

To quote Moneyball…(inaccurately of course):

“The problem we’re trying to solve is that there is Pat Neshek. Then there’s fifty feet of crap, and then there’s the rest of the Philadelphia bullpen.”

Neshek is has been astounding the entire season and the last two weeks have been no different. The side slinging righty threw 7.2 innings of shutout baseball striking out seven while walking no one.

Next: Scott Kingery promoted to Triple-A

Neshek’s value continues to rise as we get closer and closer to the deadline.
