December 12, 200718 yr QUOTE(beck72 @ Dec 11, 2007 -> 05:39 AM) Whether or not Danks and Floyd can be #1-3 starters is besides the point going into 2008. They need to be effective in the 4th and 5th spots. KW's "hype" is another man's confidence booster. Danks and Floyd can read KW's and Ozzie's comments about not worrying about the starting pitching and continue working out getting ready for the season. If both Danks and Floyd "trust their stuff" ie not nibbling, attacking hitters, not walking guys, they should be fine. My only concern is if they tire late in the year after racking up innings in the bigs. Yet Gio should be ready by late 2008 to come up if needed. Gio's not a bad backup plan. Not to mention Egbert or Broadway as 2nd or 3rd choices. I fail to seehow something that comes out of KW's mouth in December is going to help Floyd's and Danks' performance beginning next April. KW had the same rah rah stuff about the bullpen last year. He said the same things about Floyd and Danks last year, look what happened.
