Dillard has an option remaining, and he doesn't seem to have the faith of the coaching staff or the front office. A change of scenery might serve him well, otherwise it's more spinning of the Nashville wheels next season. |

I'm still a little confused by how Dillard has been handled by the Brewers, once a starter, then reliever, then a starter again, and then a reliever once more during a brief and forgettable callup. |

I don't know what the future holds for Dillard... he's hanging on as a AAA starter with mediocre at best peripherals, but the Brewers' starting pitching is thin enough where he might get a starting shot despite his performance. I really wish they'd just let him focus on relief. Oh well. |

Tim has allowed but a single home run in his first eight starts (46.2 innings in the homer-happy PCL). Is there a more enjoyable pitch to watch from the dugout than a hard heavy sinker? |

Remember last year when the Brewers decided Tim Dillard's career would best be served by going to the pen? Scratch that, he's back in the rotation in 2009. While it may just be a move to help him work on pitches, flip-flopping prospects between the pen and rotation in AAA reeks of a lack of planning on the Brewers' part. |

Dillard has been a projected reliever for years, however it seemed to take more than a year for it to click since the permanent conversion with the young sinkerballer, who now has a chance to win a big-league job out of spring training. |

While Dillard had some problems with control upon his demotion back to Nashville from Milwaukee in June, he got those problems cleaned up in August. |

Tim’s been filthy all year in AAA and flashed a bunch of potential in the bigs. He should be an important part of the pen in 2009, if not September 2008. |

After sitting in the bullpen for nearly a week in Milwaukee, Dillard couldn't throw strikes when they finally used him and he got demoted to AAA. He still has work to do on his secondary pitches, but his future in the Brewers' bullpen sure looks bright. |

The welcome blindside of us all, with Tim throwing 94-95 with consistency (who knew?) rivals any of the blindsides seen on the past enjoyable season of Survivor. It's hard to picture a return to AAA for Dillard at this time, but Mitch Stetter had us saying the same thing not long ago. |

Round 2 in Nashville seems to be going better for Tim than round 1 did. Tim's behind a few guys in line for the majors, but he'll get a shot in Milwaukee or somewhere else in the next two years. |

A rough 2007 campaign by Tim Dillard's standards... will the sinkerballer be able to find a return to success and keep himself firmly on the prospect map? Let's hope so. |

Tim was hammered in 2007, but he's still got the stuff to be a MLB reliever. |
| 08/05/2007 |

Dillard has been knocked around quite a bit in the PCL, particularly since being moved to the bullpen. |
| 07/08/2007 |
14 |
Move to the bullpen removes some of the shine off Tim's lustre, but none of his peripheral pitching numbers were screaming future success as a starter. |
| 06/07/2007 |
11 |
Tim's still not striking anybody out, and his .302 batting average against isn't impressive, so we probably have Tim and his 3.68 ERA higher than we should simply because he's a 23-year-old in the AAA rotation. |
| 05/02/2007 |

Not striking out anyone or limiting base runners can lead to bad things. Tim’s been talked about as a reliever, and I suspect he’ll be in the pen sometime this year. |

I hope Tim Dillard will force the Brewers to look at him as a starter in the bigs instead of his current pegging as a bullpen guy |

I can't remember the last time a Brewer minor league pitching went about 350 IP over the course of two years... it is a testament to the rock-steady pitching of Tim Dillard |
| 07/20/2006 |

Probably the least-exciting prospect in the system because all Tim does is pitch well with decent stuff - nothing spectacular, just a good baseball player |

The reigning Minor League Pitcher of the Year has turned the sinkerball magic up a notch during the last month, cutting his ERA by about 1.50 |

Adjusting to AA hasn't been quite as easy as the transition to A+ last year |
| 01/13/2006 |

Tim is an almost perfect Southern League pitcher (throws heavy stuff in the zone) so an early word of caution that he may put up some eye-popping numbers there |
| 09/01/2005 |
26 |
The most surprising statistic in the Brewers' minor leagues this year may well be Dillard's 180 innings pitched |
| 08/05/2005 |
29 |
I am very surprised the Brewers haven't moved Dillard out of the rotation or promoted him to the AA bullpen because he's had way more innings that he has had in the past |
| 07/12/2005 |

Tim still profiles as a reliever, but it sure is nice to know he can get through games with low pitch counts |
| 06/07/2005 |
33 |
Three complete games on limited pitch counts and a slightly above 1.00 WHIP - what's not to love? |
| 04/24/2005 |

Shifted to the rotation this year, Dillard has been very effective in the middle of an emerging Brevard staff |

Beloit's catcher-turned-sinkerball specialist has put together a good few seasons since signing as a DFE prior to last year's draft |
