Can we all agree that Jerome Williams...

well, I said the same thing coming out of Spring Training (essentially that Jerome Williams is a 4-A pitcher) and got blasted here for saying that -- which is OK -- that's partially why this site exists to give (and have tested) your opinions on roster issues.......

 

And, to be fair, given the state of the Halos rotation (Blanton, PUH-LEASE!) , Williams has been very much needed in that '4-A' role this year.

 

But at the end of the day, Williams is really a 4-A pitcher.

 

He has carved out a pretty nice MLB career for himself that started out (as least what I can remember) in SF with the Giants some years ago.

 

For the Halos really to get back to being a perennial contender (and let's face it folks, it's been this season and last season, at least, where they would not be classified as such and perhaps the prior season as well -- they've gone from compiling AL West titles to second and third place finishes -- thank goodness Houston is in the Division this year or the Halos could finish dead last in the AL West)....they really have to get a better than average MLB starting rotation -- something they have not had all season.

I wouldn't call him a 4A pitcher. He's a MLB pitcher, he just shouldn't be a starter IMO. If he's a 4A pitcher, there are an awful lot of those kind of pitchers in the majors.

The thing about Jerome is he is fine as a #5 or depth pitcher if 1-4 are solid but in this rotation only 1-2 is solid.  If Vargas was healthy and Hanson could keep up what he did last time out then it doesn't hurt as much.
