What good is it to win the division and then have all your pitchers so wore out they aren't as effective as they need to be?<br />By the way, the Jobba rules were put in place so Joe wouldn't over use him, not because they were babying him as some thought! Joe complained all the time that he was not able to use him when ever it was a tight game.<br />Yes, you are right, I didn't like the guy at all. A leader that uses up his people so as to win the battle, looses the effectiveness of those that are left, when it counts the most!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-46454785402083846422014-06-20T05:29:00.249-04:002014-06-20T05:29:00.249-04:00That's one thing about Girardi, he uses everyb...That's one thing about Girardi, he uses everybody. His bullpen will throw a ton of innings every season but not one guy will be, say, Top 10 in innings pitched.

As things are right now, we need every good BP pitcher we can get.<br />I don't want Joe G to become Joe T and burn out a top reliever like Mr. T did to Scott Proctor....remember that one! Yup, that one, 83 games 102+ innings. He never was the same after that. <br />Thus, Joe T was given a contract he couldn't accept, so basically, he was fired. Cashman Ordered Joe to use Scott less, but Joe thought he was the star and didn't have to take orders from a guy that never played, Yah da, yah da etc...and so forth!<br />ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-91229114531269589462014-06-19T17:42:49.721-04:002014-06-19T17:42:49.721-04:00No way D Rob is traded, zero.

Similarities don't stop there either....<br /><br />Lindgren, barring any surprises, will be in the 2015 bullpen as well.

The bullpen will be even more important with a starting pitcher that's not stretched out.

Now days the teams look long and hard at there BP structure. One of each of these; Closer, Set-up man, Lefty, Long man and the rest<br />Mo was a failed starter, Rags Righetti was a huge exception, he was good as both, but found a comfort zone in the BP as will Warren.<br />Warren will stay in the BP, unless there is something we don't know...other than our names! Everything he has had to do is a statrer, for the Future!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-80064901015395272922014-06-18T17:38:54.116-04:002014-06-18T17:38:54.116-04:00I thought of including Tampa and moving them to Or...I thought of including Tampa and moving them to Orlando in addition to the two teams but I thought that was for another post and another day.<br /><br />Puerto Rico is also something I considered.
