do you think Wieters and Price could both be up by the end of the month? Or as soon as possible (whenever they pass the Super 2 deadline). I know the Orioles can’t be losing anything by bringing him up, but the Rays are stacked and don’t necessarily need Price.

Laura, I’m not 100 percent certain that the 58-pitch count is accurate; I think there might have been a few missing pitches in there that didn’t get tracked. My guess is he threw closer to 75 pitches, but I might be wrong and I’ll see what I can find out tonight. No worries with Bergesen in terms of health. At this point early in the season, teams keep their starters on a very tight leash with their pitch counts.

Was any reason give as to why Bergesen was pulled having only gone 5 innings and 58 pitches?

Matt, Matt Eddy put together a timeline of Wieters and Price. They did face each other in 2006 in a college regional matchup: http://www.baseballamerica.com.....67932.html

Have Wieters and Price ever faced each other before?
