September 24, 200717 yr comment_949604 Didn't the organization plan on keeping Nolasco in the bullpen full time? I think that was just the plan for the remainder of this season, which is a moot point now anyway. FWIW, Girardi has said many times that he and others (Kranitz perhaps?) thought Nolasco's future was as a closer because of his plus breaking ball.

I'm to lazy to look up the splits at the moment but if i remember correctly he had better stats out of the bullpen in his rookie season. Yet the sample size is incredibly small Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/55105-what-will-the-rotation-on-opening-day-be-next-year/?&do=findComment&comment=949605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 24, 200717 yr comment_949607 Willis, Mitre, Olsen, G. Hernandez, Nolasco/Vanden Hurk August 1st - Olsen, G. Hernandez, Volstad, Anibal, Nolasco/Vanden Hurk No Dontrelle? No Dontrelle.  And I would say that even if we had a normal payroll, but the money obviously comes into play here. Dontrelle isn't part of the future. He is flat out an expendable trading piece. Hopefully he has a Joe Blanton revitalization in 2008 and we can turn that into a young C or CF, or both. I think trading Gregg in July next year is a good idea too. Probably Mitre too. Let those guys eat innings and saves, and trade them when contenders are desperate for pitching and our team is getting healthy. None of them figure into longterm plans, it helps salary, and really won't effect the team. I only say that last one because of the viable pitching alternatives we have. We need to give Olsen, Gaby, Volstad, Anibal, Nolasco, and Vanden Hurk as many starts as possible in 2008 to sort out the "mess" for 2009 when Johnson, and god willingly, Sinkbeil, Thompson, and Tucker join the party. Throw in the young relievers (Tank, Owens, Lindstrom, Pinto, Kensing, C. Mart, H. Garcia, Zarate, hopefully J. Garcia, etc) and it's going to be really fun to watch which 12 end up on the team.

September 24, 200717 yr comment_949608 Willis and... Scotty O will probably have to fight for a rotation spot. Mitre will have to fight for a rotation spot. Maybe Barone has a shot. Nolasco. Vanden Hurk. Gaby. I am going: Willis Nolasco Scotty O Vanden Hurk Barone to start the season.
