I have a feeling who most would pick, but I'm interested to know.

Well, at least we won't have to worry about having people work on 3 days rest.

I might rather have Garland go on 3 days rest. Sinkerballers are known to be better on 3 days rest.

 

Hell, look at Lowe last year against New York. He started game 7 on 2 days rest, and gave up like 1 hit in 6 innings.

The Count is the only one that worries me when he starts a game. He can be dominating or he can be awful. I would definitely move him into the bullpen.

No offense to shakes, but I think this survey is not gonna have a lot of different answers. Anybody who has followed the team at all will probably vote the same way.

I'm going to be different. I say Garcia goes, I know I'll get b****ed at but for some reason I see him giving up the big hit with a lot on the line.

He beat us in the playoffs.

I agree with you. His control would just worry me out of the bullpen.

His control worries everyone wherever he pitches from.

Honestly, no one right now. What I would do is have Buehrle, Garcia, Duque, Garland & Contreras pitch. Or I'd have two of the pitchers split a game. Have El Duque go half of the game, then Contreras the other half. I think Contreras would be worse off out of the pen. He's been doing fine. I don't care about walks. I care about runs and wins. Contreras has only had 1 bad game. The rest, he's given the team a chance to won.

2 bad games and 1 mediocre performance. Otherwise, he has allowed 1 run in every outing.

 

Two bad ones have been...

 

4.2 IP, 6 H, 2 ER(3 R), 4 BB and 2 K against Minny on 4-18(104 pitches)

5 IP, 5 H, 4 ER(4 R), 5 BB, and 3 K against TB on 5-10(91 pitches)

 

His mediocre one was against Cleveland...

 

6.2 IP, 5 H, 4 ER(4 R), 5 BB, 3 K on 4-7(96 pitches)

 

So ya

I don't consider 2 ER(even in 4.2 innings) as a bad outing. Wasn't that the one where he had to leave because of a hammy or some type of leg injury?? The TB was the only bad start IMO.

I would send Freddy to the Pen. Just because he hasn't met our expectations and is inconsistent.

I agree and its not because I luv Grimice!

Jose would be nasty out of the pen...I'd go MB, OH, JG, FG come the playoffs...Jon needs to keep it up to start a series off, I like El Duque second because of expierence.

Hasn't met expectations??? Are you kidding. Just because everyone else has overachieved doesn't make Freddy an underachiever. He's player great and has a low 3 ERA. He had the same ERA last year. He's doing his job and what was expected of him which is pretty damn good. Underachieving????? Wow, pass that crack over here.
