Posted August 3, 200618 yr guys i know that some of you might not like him but i think u gotta give him a chance. he has excellent stuff and i think that when he comes back he should start. all of his pitches have probably the best movement on the staff. six man rotation when mitre gets back?

A 6 man rotation isnt a bad idea either to give the young arms more time to recuperate after starts
August 3, 200618 yr we will not have a 6 man rotation. it will be an adjustment the pitchers will have to make. they'll need to learn how to pitch 200 innings. In the minors, the season's shorter (right?) so they don't pitch as much. This will be part of the learning process for them to become a MLB pitcher. How dare he aspire to be a major league pitcher! He gets no chances, none at all! Off with his head! YA!!
August 3, 200618 yr The rotation didnt actually suck that bad with mitre there. In fact the rotation was ok and mitre was ok, if i recall most of the games we were losing ealry on were b/c the bullpen was blowign them
August 3, 200618 yr The Cubs WILLINGLY gave him up for Juan Pierre. Â He does deserve another chance, but the true gems of the trade were Nolasco and Pinto.
August 3, 200618 yr I think he should start some games, now go back into the rotation? No. But to spot start like mentioned before in a 6 man type rotation would be fine. and No I don't think he has stopped smoking.
August 3, 200618 yr Author mitre is a very good talent and u know wat spike, the club realizes that as well so it doesnt matter what u say and how u think u know everything about everything
August 3, 200618 yr he smokes? whatever, he's never really done anything, and a 6 man rotation doesn't really make much sense right now as long as this pitching staff keeps it together.
August 3, 200618 yr It's a tough situation because he does have some talent. Who knows, if D-Train continues to pitch poorly, maybe he should take his spot (JOKE).

August 4, 200618 yr i like mitre. wonder whats gonna happen with him.  AAA unless somebody gets hurt.
August 4, 200618 yr Before the end of the year, Mitre is either taking Anibal's spot or they'll go to a six-man rotation. Anibal's peripheral numbers aren't very good and the ERA is beginning to reflect that.  I don't want Anibal pitching too many innings anyhow. If he stays in a five man rotation the rest of the season, he'll end up close to 200 innings for the year. Also, I think the Marlins would like to get another look at Mitre as a starter before the end of the year. He may very well end up in the bullpen next year, but the Marlins don't have a lot of information to base that decision on right now.
August 4, 200618 yr I wonder what spike thinks about this subject of Mitre starting ? I bet he approves of it, and that is enough for me.
August 4, 200618 yr Mitre will have to settle for a spot in the bullpen...maybe a spot start here and there. I predict if he does OK Herges may then be traded or released
August 4, 200618 yr he will probably get some starts later on in the season, however it doesnt seem like there is a spot for him in the rotation

And right now Girardi is talking probable 6 man rotation with Moe. In a way. When the kids get tired he gets spot starts. I haven't figured out they will utilize Mitre tho. But sticking with a 5 man rotation and just letting the kids pitch so the can get used to a longer season is insane. Unless you have stock in that doctor that does all the Tommy John surgery.

Hey what about some clubs shoot for a 4 men rotation, does it sound like a good idea for clubs to do in the final month before the playoff when they are borderline on making it?
August 4, 200618 yr The problem with expanding the rotation is the same as having your closer sitting on the bench for days at a time, simply pitchers lose their sharpness. What you'll probably see instead, and this is just my guess, is Mitre and Moehler spotting guys a game here and there, with the kids throwing 40-50 pitch simulated games on the sidelines on their regular work days.

My response was to eddie who made the 6 man seem like an outrageous idea. I'm not syaing its a good idea at all, but it is very real and viable.
August 4, 200618 yr I would have him around as a long-reliever for awhile. With guys like Nolasco, you never know when he's going to have a bad game and get pulled in the 3rd or 4th. When that happens, you need a guy like Mitre to keep you in the game. Vargas previously filled this role, which now belongs to Pinto.
