David Purcey starts in AAA

David Purcey threw a great game for AAA Las Vegas today, allowing only 1 hit and 2 ER over 6.1 innings. However, he did walk 5 batters, indicating his control may have been a little off. He threw a total of 104 pitches and seems very close to making a return to the big club.

If Purcey is recalled sometime this week, it could be at the expense of Bret Cecil who was just called up along with Robert Ray earlier this week. Either way, it will sure help strengthen the rotation.
