May 23, 200818 yr Our rotation is gonna be scary! Hopper will have to go down to Alburquerque, unfortunately Hendrickson Sanchez Olsen Miller Nolasco Woohoo! thats a hell of a rotation
May 23, 200818 yr And we still have a Sergio Mitre ready to come back and give us innings, AND a Ryan Tucker absolutely dominating in the minors right now.

May 23, 200818 yr When are these guys (JJ, Anibal, Mitre) coming back? I don't think it's a scary rotation, but it's certainly average / above average if we can get all those guys back (at least Mitre and Anibal).

May 23, 200818 yr I hate to say it, but I think Josh Johnson is going to be the next Tim Spooneybarger. He is too young to be injured so often. These injuries will probably repeat until he eventually just falls off the face of the earth. Having said that, please prove me wrong because I think Josh Johnson COULD be one hell of a pitcher.
May 23, 200818 yr I doubt nolasco will stay after mitre comes back, sure he pitched great against the DBacks, but he's very inconsistent.

Well, you could kinda say that this current injury is Girardi's fault for overusing our pitchers and letting JJ come back in that rain-game.... but yeah I see what you mean, lets hope you eat crow lol
May 23, 200818 yr a few of you have made comments saying we will have too many pitchers for all we know, some of the current rotation could pick up injuries creating spaces i hope that is not the case and it is never nice for players to get injured, but the reality is it could happen any day i mean look at chris young, going along fine until a pujols line drive hits him in the face, hes on the DL now
May 23, 200818 yr I'm not entirely sold on Sanchez. However, I think Mitre will be a great addition when he returns. They are both expected back at the beginning of july?
May 23, 200818 yr Call me pessimistic, but I'm not expecting much from our injured pitchers this year. If we are still in the hunt come time for their returns, it doesn't make sense for us to coddle them along. IMO they need to have prolonged minor league rehab stints to show they're ready to contribute...the timing just doesn't add up for them to be contributors to this team.
May 23, 200818 yr If JJ and Anibal are ready to perform, then Badenhop will head to AA, and Nolasco to the pen.
