Lo...I am of the opinion we need a six man rotation! Look at our pitchers; <br />CC less then healthy...forever!<br />Tank, maybe elbow problems!<br />Pineda, never healthy!<br />Nova, will he be ready for the season?<br />Greene, young and healthy!<br />Brandon McCarthy, durable and so far has gotten his stuff working well!<br />In the wings we have, Phelps, Warren, Banuelos, Tyler Webb and even Severino (2015-1/2 or 2016).<br /><br />In stead of following the leader, maybe someone should start a new trend...be the leader, go for the six man rotation. Even with a six man, helping to protect those four pitchers is going to be fun to watch. With five pitchers just waiting for the opportunity to step up and fill in for those guys..I would have someone taste all the food they eat, just in case!<br /><br />ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-25109557337773524752014-09-22T14:46:16.203-04:002014-09-22T14:46:16.203-04:00Jeff, young man, I beg to differ, Phil and Joba we...Jeff, young man, I beg to differ, Phil and Joba were two of the Young Guns I named the "Kiddy Korp"!<br />They were mistreated and mismanaged.<br />They never tough Joba how to use his slider...He would throw it to the outside corner and it would end-up as a ball. That was ok, until the hitters laid off of it, he should have put it on the outer half and hit the corner with it...or a bit outside!<br />Phil was always under pressure (as you stated), he made the right choice, and doing well.<br />IPK made a name in the NL but would have been fresh meat for the AL Beast...he did have the best C&C and stuff but, nothing to back up his very good pitches with...88-89 fastball, NO put-away pitch.<br />Those three and Cisco, were the Kiddie Korp...I am thinking there was one more but the name escapes me!<br />The whole thing was a big FUBAR.ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-58345696391045034722014-09-22T14:36:05.583-04:002014-09-22T14:36:05.583-04:00Phil is actually doing fantastic in Tinysota.

Also only has 15 wins with a mediocre offense that sold at the trading deadline. <br /><br />patrick:<br /><br />What Jeff was eluding to was not the fact that Hughes wasn't given a shot. He was more or less eluding to the fact that he got sent to the pen, then a starter, then the pen, and back again.

When you when 18 games and have to "earn" your spot in the rotation, it's a slap in the face. When you miss a significant chunk of the season and come back the following season and win 16 games and have to "earn" your rotation spot, it's a slap in the face. And how you ask is all star Phil doing? 15-10 with a 3.61 era. Not to mention 201.2 innings pitched and the best strikeout to walk ratio in baseball. Not bad for a 28 year old pitcher we crapped on. But I will concede that I'm the only of us here that feels this way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687487174545518045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-85183100697667687632014-09-22T11:18:43.329-04:002014-09-22T11:18:43.329-04:00PHIL HUGHES & JEFF LEVIN :

Then he'll leave and be a very solid pitcher.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687487174545518045noreply@blogger.com
