I vote Danny Wright. Schoenweis has shown he can't start with an ample amount of chances given to him this spring. Wright is better than everyone thinks. He was injured last year, and now he's ready to get back to himself.

 

just had to add it

Wright has earned the right to pitch from the 4 slot.

Schoenweis has "earned" the right to battle Cotts for the 5th spot.

I voted for Scho, but only because I want the lefties separated. He shouldn't pitch next to MB if it can be helped.

We did this about a week back and i said cotts at 4. Neither of these guys has a career era under 5

Garland should be the fourth starter, Schow will be.

I voted for wright just because of the experience factor, I say give them both equal opportunites to battle for it.

Shoey

To really do this properly you need to bounce the rotation against the schedule. I do not place must stock in the righty - lefty - righty or any of the junk - fast ball - junk, etc. theories. I think past history against teams is more important. So if Sho in the 5 spot costs him a start against a team that has rocked him and gets him a start against a team he is strong against, then that is good.

Schoe vs Yanks career

 

15 Gms 3 GS 2-0, 5.53 era, 1.73 whip, .331 BAA

 

Garland vs Yanks career

 

2 gms 2 GS 0-2, 3.65 era, 1.22 whip, .234 BAA

I voted Danny Wright but I still think Shoeny has had more success as a starter than Danny. Wright is more of a long-reliever in my mind but since KW insisted we didnt need anyone to replace Colon and that we didnt need a 5th starter, I say Danny should be 4th.
