Bum #4 Joe Wieland 0-1 11.57 ERA/10.35 FIP 6 ER 4.2 IP 4 BB

The 25-year old Wieland was a failed prospect from the Padre’s farm system that was a throw in during the Yasmani Grandal/Matt Kemp trade. Nobody expected him to ever reach the majors, until everybody got hurt that is. Wieland made one start on May 6 at Milwaukee in which he allowed six earned runs in 4.2 innings pitched. He was optioned back to Oklahoma City immediately after and was never heard from again. He really has no business pitching in the major leagues.
