What happened to Austin Dicharry?

[adUTleander]

I thought he was supposed to be a major player this year? I know he started the year in our starting rotation in front of Cole Green (thats almost laughable now that Cole Green originally wasnt in our weekend rotation), and i thought he would find some role out of the bullpen once he got beaten out but it seems as if he just doesnt get any playing time anymore. Is he injured, or is he just getting flat out beaten out right now.

Slightly off topic, but what happened to derail Riley Boening's return to the pitching staff this season?

I was wondering the same thing about Boening. Could he possibly have another year of eligibility?

Dicharry was never ahead of Cole, who was known to be the #2 starter long before opening day. Augie claimed he held Cole back the first weekend as a message to the team that DBU was a trap game to be taken seriously. However, there were some other strategic reasons Dicharry was kept in the weekend rotation over Cole the first two weeks of the season.

I didn't know about the injury issues; I'd only noticed that since at least Omaha last year (perhaps before that?) AD's effectiveness waned significantly. Injuries aren't good news, but "he just can't cut it" can be even worse, so thanks for the info.
