The transaction deadline for activating players is 10 PM in my NL-only league. AT 9:58 PM, I checked ESPN and MLB to see whether or not the Atlanta Braves recalled Chuck James and allowed me to get him active for today's start versus the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
My loss. He has thrown 8 innings of one ER-ball with 3 hits allowed and 4 BBs. And 8 Ks.
I have characterized James Shields as a pitcher teams desparate for wins would target. Chuck James is a starter who should be grabbed by those teams, but the move should not be characterized as "desparate."
Chuck James is a legitmate starting pitcher whose strikeout ability and control will make him a fixture in the BRaves rotation through the middle of the next decade.
