Posted May 16, 200519 yr I just needed to make a note that al leiter pitched a solid outing on saturday. This is why in the future whne tlaking about him, we need to remmeber this game the same way we remember the bad ones. He lost the game, although he pitched well, which also shows why W-L is not telling.
May 16, 200519 yr What we want is consistancy. He'll have a game like Saturday and then go out next outing and be blown out of the water.

May 16, 200519 yr Except the 2004 dontrelle willis wasn't getting paid 8 million bucks to do it. 774500[/snapback] exactly my point... :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

If playoffs began today, AJ would be our #3 guy most likely whereas Leiter probably wouldn't be in it.

That righty lefty thing is effective, and Moehler/Valdez could become valuable long relievers.
