Almost all young, talented rotations that succeed, each of the youngsters has had at least a year of moderate success. Maybe next year, I'll change my tune, but this year, I highly, highly doubt it.
February 5, 201115 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 08:06 AM) So does this move mean that Luke Scott moves out of the DH spot and back to the OF? Yes, Luke Scott will be the primary LF with Pie backing him and Adam Jones up. Looks like Nolan Reimold is the odd man out. Edited February 5, 201115 yr by Jordan4life
February 5, 201115 yr Author Catcher: Matt Wieters First Base: Derrek Lee Second Base: Brian Roberts Third Base: Mark Reynolds Shortstop: J.J. Hardy/Cesar Izturis Left Field: Luke Scott/Felix Pie Center Field: Adam Jones Right Field:Nick Markakis Designated Hitter: Vlad Not a bad lineup if they get production from some underacheivers like Hardy. They may be a team that scores a ton of runs...but they'll need to. Not a good rotation at all. They HAVE to go after one of the remaining FA starters like Bonderman, Millwood or even take a flyer on Sheets.

If you were that franchise, wouldn't you think you'd be better off in the long term putting the kids out there on the mound and trying to develop them, rather than running out Bonderman to take the loss every 5th day for 1/2 the season?

I would have about as little faith of one of those guys being as good as their young SP prospects.
February 6, 201115 yr At least they are trying, unlike the Pirates, Indians, Royals, Astros, Marlins, Nats, etc.
February 6, 201115 yr QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 12:37 PM) The awkward handshake between Luke Scott and Obama after a hypothetical World Series win would be hilarious. "Congrats on winning the World Series young man. " "Thank you, Sir. Now can I please see your actual birth certificate before I call you Mr. President?" Edited February 6, 201115 yr by LittleHurt05

And the Indians controlled the AL Central for a pretty long time. The Astros GM tries every year, that's part of the reason they are in such bad shape.

Yeah, but when will the Marlins spend money on the team and not Loria's art project stadium? Indians did control the central, but god have they gone downhill. They've traded away two AL Cy Young winners with what to show for it? They got more for Casey-freaking-Blake then they did Cliff Lee or CC Sabathia. Astros just make bad moves. As for the Nationals...eh. They go for the big time free agents but none of the glue guys.
February 6, 201115 yr everybody is trying to win in some capacity. some teams are just better at it than others.
