May 10, 200619 yr So who are they going to bring into start? I heard about the knuckle-baller from triple-a and i guess he sounds pretty good. Or will they give McCarthy a few starts. I would like to see McCarthy, but i dont know whats going on, so if anyone has some news on that, tell me...thanks
May 10, 200619 yr Well...ok, 15 day DL. That's at most 3 starts. To stretch out McCarthy they'd need a long while, maybe even a minor league stint, so I doubt they do that unless the prognosis is Contreras is out for awhile. If the knuckle-baller struggles---and hey, let's give the kid a shot, the knuckler is a black-magic pitch and all---maybe they look for other options. But right now, with Contreras only out for a bit, McCarthy is too important in the pen.
May 10, 200619 yr Id assume they will ride Charlie boy as long as they can with Bmac ready for long relief.
May 10, 200619 yr Well first of all, let's point out that barring the infamous "setback", Count is only going to miss 2 turns in the rotation. Second, Haeger obviously starts tomorrow with B-Mac ready to do middle relief if needed, and what we do with the 2nd start depends on how Haeger does tomorrow as well as if Contreras can be back for the Cubs series when he's eligible to come off the DL or not.
