Jack Perkins - no stats

[bolton wanderers]

Only 2 games and looks like Sears was updated for yesterday's game. Thanks.

Thanks, will investigate.

There are also still no story links under the content tab on the Perkins player page.

He's got stats now. (I need to add a projection.). There was an ID mismatch when we created him, so I think I just need to go back and re-tag him in the articles he was referenced. Will take care of all that this weekend.

This begs the question: Are Jack Perkins and Jackson Perkins the same person?

[JonE]

I have just about concluded that this is not the same guy who hosted Biography on A&E.

[Michael@HQ]

He also is not the Mr. Perkins who hosted Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom!

He's also not the guy that drives in the Australian Supercars Series.

I see that he's going to start today, Monday, July 21. So far, the max he's gone in relief is three innings, so they may keep him short.

I was impressed with his AAA record, so I acquired him when he was first called up, hoping that he would get into the rotation and win some games for me.

Where did you find that news? He just got a three inning save on Saturday, and Jacob Lopez is listed as today's starter. It's hard to imagine that Perkins would be ready for anything today after going three on Saturday.

A's Mon/Tue/Wed probables by source are:

OnRoto: Lopez / Perkins / Sears
MLB.com: Lopez / TBD / TBD
Fangraphs: Lopez / Ginn / Sears

FWIW, I agree with you: it seems very unlikely that Perkins would start Monday (or even Tuesday) given that he pitched 3 innings on Saturday.

EDIT 1: Severino, Lopez, Sears, and Springs have been mainstays in the A's rotation recently. Mitch Spence has been the other guy for a few turns, but hasn't looked too good. Maybe Tuesday is a planned bullpen game?

EDIT 2: These last 3 posts aren't really "Editorial Help Line" items. Maybe move them to "American League Player Info"?
