The Royals placed Mark Redman on the Bereavement List today and recalled Leo Nunez from Wichita. Nunez didn't have impressive stats in Double-A (1-2, 4.29 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 12 BB in 21 IP), but I'm guessing that the Royals are counting on his experience at the major league level to help an already overworked bullpen. But when you look at the experience Nunez has, I'm not all that sure he'll be able to help us at this level right now. He's appeared in 41 major league games last season and had a 7.55 ERA with a 1.69 WHIP.You might find this blurb about Nunez on the Rotowire.com website to be comical: "Nunez had no business pitching in the majors in 2005 after coming over from Pittsburgh in a deal for Benito Santiago."
I'm wondering if he has any business pitching in the majors in 2006.
