Vin Mazzaro: 30 1/3 IP, 28 H, 11 R, 9 ER, 14 BB, 35 K
Record: 2-1 WHIP: 1.38 K/9 IP: 10.38 Age: 23
Bottom Line: Has nothing left to prove at the minor league level.
Prospectus: Will be back with the team soon--possibly starting in Duchscherer's spot in the rotation.
Record: 4-1 WHIP: 1.47 K/9 IP: 6.91 Age: 25
Bottom Line: The only numbers that impress are the wins, which are dependent on offensive production that day. His strikeouts need to go up and his WHIP needs to go down--especially the walks. If he just cut his walk total in half he'd have the Major Leagues calling.
Prospectus: Is in the unfortunate situation of watching younger guys taste some success in the Big Leagues. Is in the other unfortunate situation of probably benefitting from a fresh start somewhere else but not having any takers. He will probably succeed somewhere at the Major League level; unfortunately for him, it might not be Oakland.
