Starting pitching depth

[HaloNArizona]

The fact that we will start the season with two or three pitchers on the DL and the F.O. is not making dumb moves, goes to our depth.

 

Richards - #1, fully recovered from knee injury, hitting 100 mph on the gun....looking for a great year

Heaney - #2 will build on last years success

Santiago - #3 solid first half, needs to have a full season (personally surprised he wasn't moved), supposedly has six pitches in his arsenal

Tropeano - #4 will be a solid back end guy on the staff, could be a #3 just to break up Santiago/Heaney, will be moved to SLC when CJ is healthy.

Shoe - #5 - Jeckyl and Hyde pitcher, never know what we are going to get, he will be on the SLC shuttle.  Skaggs will be in this spot when healthy

 

Weaver is going to have a long injury, and both he and Wilson will be gone next year, leaving a solid core, that will be top 10 in MLB and we will still all hate on JD

Can a team succeed with FOUR lefties in the rotation?

Yes, yes they can.....

Can a team succeed with FOUR lefties in the rotation?

That depends.  Can a team succeed with Johnny Crapavatella, CJ Cronie, and Yunel "I cant play 3rd base effectively" Escobar on its infield?

"Tropeano not looking too good."

1.07 whip. Sure not looking good. You strike me as the type of person thats not happy unless they have something to complain about.

 

Another lousy outing by Tropeano.  ERA now over 6.  Yeah, we have a lot of depth alright.

Are you new to baseball? Usually spring training is used as a preseason to work on things. The stats should not be looked at with much worry....

Our depth is the reason why we will even be able to put 5 starter on the roster come opening day.  

 

Go from team to team and look at what would happen if they lost three candidates for their last two rotation spots.

2 bad bitches in spring training and you're complaining? Lowered his spring training whip to 1.04 now. Lighten up dude.
