[Mr Crunchy]

i like tavares,he is very important to have in the bullpen because nobody knows for sure if today is the day that he snaps his carrot and sends a few guys to the IC unit with head injuries and broken hands.
wake is too valuable for the pen
as shown last evening he can still be very effective and as shown thruout his career he can eat 175-200innings for you with an under 5.00 era.
bringing this guy out of the bullpen is a recipe for disaster unless you have a multiple run lead..he had some good #s as a closer but you just invite anxiety with a knuckleballer coming into the game with a 1 run lead.
schill and colon?
schill wont be seen pitching till august minimum
colon may be ready soon
however
colon may never see the major leagues again,i dont know what kind of shape he is in and when he did have success in pawtucket he overthrew and found himself in the trainers room for the past month.
becks dice wake lester and buckholz with the 2-3-4-5 guys switchable
dice k throws 110 pitches thru 5 far too often,i understand they're hitting .160 against him but he's setting himself up for failure by refusing to throw his fastball more often.
ya hes 5*0 with a great era....and thats the bottom line i guess
consider this.
what were matt clements #s in 2005 when he made the allstar team for us??
you cant walk 8 men in 5 innings and expect success and this is essentailly how hideo nomo pitched himself out of baseball.
