I found it very interesting that Kasper and Hutton pointed out during the broadcast of Pavanos start vs CHC that his first 3ip are almost always ( the Boston Massacre doesnt count) very efficiant and effective. In my opinion leaving him in there until the 8th inning was a huge mistake and cost the Fish a very important game, if Beinfest could somehow land us a quality starting pitcher maybe Pavano could be that answer for the 7th and 8th innings. Even if this Benitez thing does happen i would still prefer to have Pavano as the long man or power righty from the pen.

 

Opinions??? Any ideas on what starters could be available in late july???

you're right, it is a mistake to leave him late in games....this has been discussed on the forum before, moving penny or pavz to the pen....and maybe bringing phelps back to the rotation, but it would be better to just get a new starter.....we would need to trade for one.......bllaaaaaaaa, what the hell, lets call up denny from carolina...lets make it 3 for 3 AA players making big impacts....
