Newsbreakers
July 23, 2009
Tyler Walker has been recalled by the Phillies from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, according to the Associated Press. J.C. Romero was placed on the DL as the adjoining move.
Our View:
The 33-year-old reliever holds a career 4.39 ERA, but has a 1.64 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 11 innings with the Phillies in 2009. He is worth a look for deeper fantasy leagues that feature middle men.
July 21, 2009
Tyler Walker has cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki.
Our View:
Walker actually pitched pretty well in nine appearances for the Phils this season, posting a 1.64 ERA in 11 innings. He only struck out five batters, though, and didn't record any holds, severely limiting his value in leagues with middle relievers.
July 17, 2009
According to MLB.com writer Todd Zolecki's Twitter page, the Phillies have designated reliever Tyler Walker for assignment.
Our View:
Walker was cleared to make room for Clay Condrey, but the reliever had a 1.64 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP over 11 innings with the big club. He shined in Triple-A as well, so there's no reason to think someone won't be interested in his services.
June 15, 2009
The Phillies called up Tyler Walker from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday to take the roster spot of Sergio Escalona according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Our View:
Walker has yet to pitch in 2009 and is not a fantasy option at this time.
April 9, 2009
Tyler Walker has inked a minor league deal with the Phillies, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.
Our View:
Walker held a 1.28 WHIP over 53.1 innings with the Giants last season, and the 32-year-old vet could see action in the Phillies' bullpen at some point this season, depending on injuries.
March 29, 2009
Tyler Walker has been released by the Mariners, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Our View:
He allowed three earned runs over 5.2 spring innings, and he was unable to earn a spot in the Mariners' bullpen. He was hindered by pain in his upper right side.
March 24, 2009
Reliever Tyler Walker is scheduled to take the mound when the Mariners play on Thursday, MLB.com reports. Walker has been out due to pain in his upper right side. He suffered the injury when he coughed. Walker was cleared after a solid bullpen session on Monday.
Our View:
Walker would have been a candidate for the wide-open closer's role if he had pitcher well this spring, but that hasn't been the case. This injury was minor, but it was enough to seemingly kick him out of that race. He now needs to come out and solidify a roster spot.
March 2, 2009
The AP reports that Tyler Walker is a strong candidate for the closer's job in Seattle. He threw a scoreless inning on Monday against the White Sox.
Our View:
Walker is huge - like 262 pounds huge - and he knows how to strike out hitters. The 33-year-old saw a lot of setup work with the Giants last season, and that's probably what he is destined for this season in Seattle.
January 6, 2009
According to The Sports Network, the Mariners have signed relief pitcher Tyler Walker to a contract for the 2009 season. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Our View:
In stints with the Mets, Giants, and Rays, Walker, who could arguably play center in the NFL at 6'3", 262 lbs., is 20-17 with a career ERA of 4.52.
