On the pitching front it has been stated, but needs to be reiterated. We are at the stage where we need to see if these young arms can take steps. You don't bring some jamoke in to add to the list of Burr, Hamilton, Burdi, Stephens, Fulmer, etc. when we need to give these guys the opportunity to shine. You put a proven guy like Colome at the back end of the BP. This allows the young guys opportunities to step up throughout the season without having to be the guy. As far as grabbing a 5th starter and having a "cheap tryout," I think the point that is missed is that Hahn is on to something else to solidify the rotation. Otherwise he would have gone that direction with the rule 5 draft. Maybe he thinks Cease is closer than we are giving him credit for or Meideros for that matter. This plan has been too solid from the get go for him to screw up something like SP now.
