Scott Elbert

Hey, I was wondering what the deal with Elbert is?

Star-divide

He has been having some pretty good success in AA- a few more walks than you'd like to see, but I mean he has been coming back from shoulder surgery and that has always been his achilles heel anyway. My question pertained to the fact that he's been basically relieving, which I understand to build up stamina and whatnot, but he did start once and went three innings and now he's back to coming out of the pen his past few appearances. Is this going to be permanent or is this just because the Jacksonville rotation is full or what? I haven't been able to find anything on my own so I'm seeing what you guys know to try to shed some light.. Hope he can get everything on the right path again since he has, or had, so much talent but everything I've read seems pretty positive on him this year, so it looks like he may have regained it again. Just wondering why he's not starting.

 

Thanks

RE:

Hopefully he’s just building arm strength since he did miss a year. I don’t think he’d be getting these 3 inning relief assignments if he was really targeted for the bullpen but who knows. He melted down in his last appearance.
