Daily News | The Phillies have little choice but to give prospect Griff McGarry a spot in the bullpen
Is Griff McGarry ready for the big leagues? That’s a question that the Phillies might not have the luxury of asking. Right now, there is only one question that Dave Dombrowski should be asking himself as he considers the wisdom of promoting the eldest of his three prized pitching prospects.It shouldn’t take too many brain cells to think that one through.
The schedule and the standings remain in their favor. Despite losing three of four to the Diamondbacks and their first two against the Giants, the Phillies entered Sunday with a 2½- game cushion over the Brewers for the final wild card spot in the National League. But their margin has thinned considerably. They have nine straight games against the Marlins and Nationals, two teams whom they’ve combined to beat in 18 of 25 games this season.
There is plenty of risk with McGarry. He is walking an average of 5.0 batters per nine innings. He has a 60% fly-ball rate. All but one of his appearances this season have come with at least five days of rest. He probably isn’t a guy who is going to be pitching the eighth inning on back-to-back nights.
