April 10, 200818 yr Just wanted to say how much more mature Olsen looked out there. The MASN commentators were talking about him growing up and the focus on him maintaining control, and I think there was quite a contrast vs the Olsen of old, if you think about them giving up a run in the 2nd off 2 errors, Olsen just stayed calm and made good pitches and didn't let things go any further. If this is a sign of things to come Olsen may have a very good year. Who knows, our rotation may turn out to be half decent after all. Hendrickson can do ok so long as we forget that he was opening day starter and don't expect him to be some kind of ace. Ricky will be back in the rotation on Friday, and if his relief work is any indication, he should bring a big step up from Vandenhurk's performances in that spot. We'll have to wait and see with Badenhop, but Miller is the big worry now. And just to reiterate what I've believed since before this season started - the offense is and will be fine, even without Cabrera. If Jake and Hermida can stay healthy and productive all year, I think they can more than make up for the loss.
