Are they going back to a six man rotation?

Sounds like it's just a spot start. Would have been Hanson's spot, but he would be on short rest due to the doubleheader.

It doesn't matter at this point. Even if this righted the ship and got the team performing better, it would be too little, too late.

Williams should just say no

Welcome back Peter.

Yes, that's it.

 

I expect the 5-man rotation after this, with Blanton still in there.

[Bob Trop]

If Bloated Blanton starts another game then I Am done. He is Dipoto's signature acquistion and he should go down with him.

[Mudville]

Bob, can we hold you to your word or are you just posturing?

If you keep up with the nicknames like that, you're gonna get into fisticuffs with AO.  That's his turf.

The Angels' Peter Bourjos is expected to return from the disabled list Monday and will likely stay at the bottom of the lineup, with Josh Hamilton hitting second and Mike Trout leading off.

[Torridd]

Prefer him on the top, but just glad to see him back.

[Angel Oracle]

No prob, nicknames is a free domain.

[DowningRules]

Great that Williams will start, but I hope it's not a bait n' switch.  It ain't right to jerk Williams around from starter to pen to starter again.  It's going to mess up his game.  I scratch my head every time I see Blanton start a game and every time I see Williams in the bull pen. 

 

Here's an idea:  If the Angels aren't going to start Williams, trade him and his excellent numbers while you can.  Heaven knows the farm system could use the prospects that might come in a trade.

I don't like it. I'd rather see Bourjos leading off and Trout batting 3rd.
