May 14: Godley has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville after clearing waivers, MLBTR has learned. He’ll remain with the club and look to position himself for another big league opportunity at some point down the line.
May 10: The Brewers announced this morning they’ve reinstated right-hander Zack Godley from the injured list and designated him for assignment. Godley had been out since April 29 with a right index finger contusion.
That injury knocked him out of action in the fourth inning of what may go down as his only start as a Brewer. Facing a rash of pitcher injuries, Milwaukee had selected Godley to the roster that afternoon as a fill-in spot starter. Unfortunately, he quickly wound up on the shelf himself and has now been removed from the 40-man.
It’s been a tough few years for Godley, who once looked like a potential rotation building block in Arizona. The 31-year-old has only managed a 5.48 ERA/4.57 FIP over the past three-plus seasons after tossing 155 innings of 3.37 ERA ball in 2017. He’s since bounced from the Diamondbacks to the Blue Jays to the Red Sox and Milwaukee but has yet to get back on track. The Brewers have a week to trade or waive Godley. Having already been outrighted in his career, he would have the right to elect free agency in lieu of any minor-league assignment if he clears waivers.
Someone will take a chance on him.
Knowing me, Knowing you someone will send out an SOS, and it will be their Waterloo
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
@Dumpster: I see what you did there and I enjoyed it.
The Mets should pick him up. Then they’d be dancing in Queens. Ok ill stop
Please! Yes, stop.
The Dodgers haven’t been the same since Fernando.
You might say he’s a Super Trouper
I saw ABBA at Radio City Music Hall on their lone North American tour in 1979. It came 11 days after a life-changing Clash show at The Palladium on 14th Street (the night after the photo used on the cover of London Calling was snapped). Two amazing shows in completely different ways.
Your ring is stuck in the mail.
rays probably or twins
Likely the 40 man roster spot so Burnes can come back?
Not like they signed him to some Ungodley sum
They’ve put roster cleanliness before Godleyness.
Boo this man!
@baseballpun is cool, no booing needed.
Appreciate the compliment, but the two are not mutually exclusive.
What did the New York post post when Robinson Cano left town to take $$$ with the Mariners?
Canoooooooooo!
And God is empty. Just like me.
Most would be upset getting DFA so quickly after returning from IL. But not a Godley man
Looking at Godley’s advanced stats, his K’s per 9 has gone from 9.6 in 2017 down all the way to 6.8 in 2019. I do believe he has good stuff because, in 2017, his FIP was 3.41 meaning he was not getting lucky and was actually pitching well. His walks and hr’s per 9 have gone up as well. His baseline stats to hitter facing him have gone up as well, going from .221/.293/.364 against (In 2017) to .260/.293/.364 (In 2018) He’s only 31 so it’s possible he could turn it around. I’m sure that he’ll get a minor league deal from somebody later in the season.
Looking at Godleys advanced stats. So fancy! Image of one having to ascend several flights of creaky steps (no lift!) to a musty reading room in an old Gothic library, having to rouse the septunegerian guardian of the stacks by activating a cloth ripcord, and then being handed an oversized dusty hard covered volume set in some indistinguishable earth toned shade encased in centuries of soot. “The advanced stats, sir”, intones Jeeves with the gravity appropriate to a cryptkeeper.
Imagine finding a bunch of winning percentages and save totals scrawled on the toilet seat in a KFC bathroom
Maybe he should try his hand at the bullpen? Get this K #’s up, limit exposure.
That’s how i got started at Walmart. Just a few months here. Get my numbers up. Fold some shirts. Years and years later…
He got paid for a couple of weeks! What about Zimmerman? Remember how Counsel treats Pitchers. Wade Miley 1 batter in the playoffs as a starter ,,then pulled! Miley,as an average MLP gets upset, as FA ,and moves on ! This week throws a no hitter! If I was a veteran pitcher I would only sign a guaranted contract
That isn’t why Miley moved on. Miley was in on that stunt, it didn’t upset him. He moved on for more money.
He was everything but Godley with the Crew.
But he enjoyed his fine desserts. Godley and cream.
He will NOT “Cry”…
Makes one think of “Miami Vice” episode with Ted Nugent and this song
best bet for godley is BP
What if Godley was one of us? Just a slob like one of us? Just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home..
It would be like rain on your wedding day. Or a spork, when you’re looking for a butter knife.
Oop. Right decade. Wrong lifetime chic flic episode.
Yeah, yeah, Godley’s waived. Yeah, yeah, he goes unclaimed. Nobody’s calling on the phone.
He’s awful, pitched for the DBACKS and was brutal, shocked teams look at him
What about ZIM? He got shacked(retired). I was infering he was not any better than Godley! Brewers need to bring up younger pitchers instead of old Ham and egger minus types!
