Posted May 4, 200618 yr If this team wants to start winning a lot more We need the best group of starters That means putting Nolasco in it and having him start every 5 days...Odd man out? Mitre ...YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK...GOODBYE

May 4, 200618 yr Author Moehler has already been sent to the bullpen...Josh Johson has replaced him in the rotation
May 4, 200618 yr yeah shows how much u know considering that moehler started tonight and johnson replaced vargas
May 4, 200618 yr Vargas was sent to the bullpen. Moehler is our weakest link in the rotation, but I think he will get at least a couple more starts to prove whether or not he belongs there. If he has terrible outings the next couple of starts, Nolasco will get his chance.

May 4, 200618 yr Author Oops sorry about the brain freeze yes ofcourse JJ replaced Vargas...just wishful thinking on my behalf that Moehler would have been replaced by now!
May 4, 200618 yr nolasco in for moehler is the best idea lmao. we gave vargas some time to clear his head, put jj into the rotation to pitch better and finally get that left hander in the bullpen that we needed
May 4, 200618 yr Ricky Nolasco - ERA: 6.35 WHIP: 1.59 BAA: .279 Sergio Mitre - ERA: 3.82 WHIP: 1.27 BAA .246 Good call. Why is there so much hate for Mitre on this website? He may not have the upside some of these other guys have...but he still figures to be a pretty good pitcher and has done nothing to change that this season. he's pitched well...i don't see why we should even consider booting him from the rotation anytime soon.
May 4, 200618 yr Mitre has been one of the best, and probably the most consistent pitcher on this team so far. i don't know what you guys are seeing. i'm cool with Nolasco moving into the rotation, but that'll probably mean we'll have Moehler start blowing our leads instead of Herges.
May 4, 200618 yr Ricky Nolasco - ERA: 6.35 WHIP: 1.59 BAA: .279 Sergio Mitre - ERA: 3.82 WHIP: 1.27 BAA .246 Nolasco's ERA was inflated by one poor start basically. He's looked terrific out there for the most part. I agree with you that Mitre's been just fine though. Especially for THIS rotation. Moehler's definitely the guy on the ledge... last night was a tough outing, so many of the hits were little flares & broken bats... Heck you could even see Olsen back to AAA if he can't solve this walk problem.
May 4, 200618 yr Mitre's been okay. Moehler has been horrendous, but he's one of our top paid players, so it's a tough spot- you can't release him... and the problem with sending him to the pen is that it'll make the bullpen worse. Willis/Olsen/Mitre/Johnson/Nolasco... is probably the rotation most would like to see. With the pen being Borowski/Herges/German/Wellemeyer/Moehler/Vargas/Messenger.

May 4, 200618 yr I think you hand Moehler the starts for half a season in a rebuilding year. Save some of your young players' arms. Get them accustomed to major league hitting from the bullpen and spot-starting. Then hope someone trades you a decent prospect for a veteran swingman at the deadline, else move him to the bullpen.
