October 5, 200422 yr Kensing was called back from winter vacation and working with coaches and a catcher he never met before. Tejera, Small and others were in AAA mst of the year where you have to learn pitch differently. You can't let people hit fly balls in Abuquerque, they'll leave the park, not here at PPS. Bump, Wayne and Phelps had been trained as relievers for most of the year and were asked to change their focus in 3 days. Given a chance out of spring training they'll do much much better. 582862[/snapback] You can't hope that a guy is gonna turn into a solid starter. Because none of them have proved themselves capable of being a starter, you must resign Valdez. If they turn out to be awesome next year, then great; we've got ourselves an excellent insurance policy. But don't gamble our season on a couple of rookies that have yet to prove themselves.
October 5, 200422 yr I trust unproven rookies. Unproven rookies have been instrumental to Atlanta, Oakland and Minnesota's success.
