Jesse Hahn to take Rich Hill's spot

Susan
Slusser
tells
us
that
Jesse
Hahn
will
come
up
to
pitch
Thursday
in
Rich
Hill's
vacated
rotation
spot.
It
was,
not
just
in
retrospect
but
also
yesterday,
the
obvious
move,
not
only
because
Daniel
Mengden
was
too
recently
optioned
to
come
back
but
also
because
Daniel
Mengden
might
not
have
enough
control
to
be
a
major-league
starter.
Maybe
it
would
have
been
fun
to
see
Raul
Alcantara
get
a
shot,
but
he
only
just
got
called
up
to
Nashville
at
the
end
of
July,
and
he
didn't
get
there
by
pitching
lights-out
at
Midland.
And
then
there's
Jharel
Cotton
...
and,
well,
I
don't
have
a
great
reason
why
they
couldn't
just
call
him
up.
MLB
service
time,
I
guess,
putting
him
a
step
closer
to
free
agency
than
they
need
to
put
him,
but
you
know
how
I
feel
about
that
kind
of
consideration,
lost
season
or
no.
