Evan Meek Isn't Evan Meek Anymore
Evan Meek has been sent down to AAA. I'm not writing this post to tell you that. Ever since I saw Meek pitch in spring training, I've been worried. He had shoulder surgery last summer and hasn't been the same guy since.

Evan Meek has struggled so far this year with a 5.59 ERA over 9 2/3 innings.
Slaten has a 0.69 ERA over 13 innings for Indianapolis...
