With Wright now in the rotation and Pomeranz out, the rotation has been excellent.

I look forward to every dang start by every dang pitcher we have. These guys rock.Originally Posted by kenmeister
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
I would love to see Pomeranz get his mojo back as you know we are going to need him at some point between now and late October.
Eh, I’m not so convinced. Can we trade Pom to sure-up our BP? (Asking for a ... friend?) lol
Without Price and Kimbrel , you don’t win the ALE in 2016. Price wasn’t an ace, but those 200+ IP were clutch for your club. Kimbrel provides a lock down closer after some struggles on the back end when Moji’s body started to break down.
Me neither. The current 5 are more than enough to handle the postseason. And I'm still high on the other 3 (Johnson, Velazquez, Beeks). Sometimes people have a great season, like Pomeranz did last year, but can never follow it up again.
Before you trade Pom for bullpen help, remember that he's been useful in the bullpen himself. If he can reach back and add some of the velocity he's lost while pacing himself, if restricted to short outings, I'd expect him to be a dangerous LHRP
If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.
Maybe move Pomeranz to the bullpen?
I’m well aware of his past BP experience. I question his effectiveness anywhere right now.
So.. shouldn't any GM you're hoping to deal him to for bullpen help feel the same way? Bear in mind, there is no next year for a GM in a trade here...
That is the age old quagmire. Of course your opinion is obvisiously different than mine. It would require a difference of opinion. They do exist.
If he gets right and adds some mph to his fastball, he could be a huge addition to the pen.
But again he has to be right in order for that to work and he has not been right since the injury in spring training.

Steven Wright (knee) to the DL. Justin Haley recalled from AAA.
Well that's not good.
How close is Pon to being ready?

At least we can’t blame this injury on Farrell. That’s a good thing. I guess.
