WHIV 2058.16- What In The World Happened to Bret Harrell?
Harrell, pictured here thinking about a time when he threw strikes and got people out
Bret Harrell has had a tough go of it this year. Really, it's the first time in his big league career that he's encountered any kind of sustained trouble. Acquired from Vancouver at the 2055 Trade Deadline (for Gamal bin Badr), Harrell was not viewed as a top prospect by really any national services. The Hustlers saw something in him and not just as a reliever, which most scouts had him pegged as. No, they believed he could be a solid BBA starting pitcher and starting just a week into the 2056 season, they gave him that opportunity. He shined. Now, not so much. Observe: Yikes. It's not like it's a fluke, or just a couple of bad outings anymore either. See? Whatever is going on, Las Vegas NEEDS Harrell to get himself right. Rather than send him to the bullpen, the Hustlers decided that since he has all options remaining it would be best for him to continue starting, just to do so in Milwaukee (AAA) for now. In the meantime, Kyle McKinlay is set to temporarily (we hope) take Harrell's place in the rotation and make his first BBA start since 2053 (with Boise).

The BABIP is one thing but that K/BB rate ain't pretty either.

Suddenly can't throw strikes. BB/9 rate is down slightly league-wide this year (0.1/9 down)

He might be one of those guys that slumps every other season.
