December 10, 200421 yr having the 9th best era in the majors blows. 631057[/snapback] And having the 6th most walks in baseball is AWESOME! 631501[/snapback] It means who wont give into a hitter *waits for "it means he is all over the place" :whistle 631539[/snapback] A walk is a walk; it puts a guy on base and runs up your pitch count. What's worse, a guy with really bad control trying to throw strikes or a guy who can throw strikes but won't because he's too stubborn?
December 10, 200421 yr I think this move saves face, doesn't really hurt much but doesn't help either if this is Pav's replacement. I just look at it this way. Al will give us solid starts, however, those starts will last uder 6 full innings. Do we really want our bullpen pitching 3+ innings at least once every 5 days?
December 10, 200421 yr I think he is overpayed, but we are a little desperate so overall it's good. A starter who failed to pitch 6 innings in 13 of his 30 starts last season can't possible deserve 7 million. He's ripping us off and we don't have a lot of money to get ripped off. But it seems like were losing a lot of pitching, and if we don't keep Pavano were going to need someone to atleast fill in the hole a little bit for him. And Leiter can do that much atleast. But one problem arises that since he doesn't go far into games, maybe we should get a 6th starter to finish off the game after he pitches, or to atleast take the game to the 7th or 8th inning when he's done. Like when we had Tejera...whenever a pitcher got knocked out of the game early he came in. And we don't want too waste Mota or someone else in that situation. So what do you guys say? I think we need a 6th starter in the bullpen for Lieter...what do you guys say?
