I guess I can see the wisdom in keeping Q for now rather than just letting him go for nothing, and giving Morales regular work in SLC, but I sure do like Morales.

When the line up is displayed like this, it doesn't really seem that bad. I think that we will be alright. Just gotta hope Big John and Esco get better in May.

I'd love to see Dustin get the first shot and the 5th spot and if that doesn't work give Nick a shot.

Checking out what it's new format will be like. Hopefully there is a way to turn off avatars!

I'd rather keep Moseley out of the rotation. We will have a lesser (and potentially more fragile) rotation for April/May than we would have hoped for and I suspect the bullpen will have to do a couple of longer stints (particularly if Santana has to pitch in the daytime, away from home, on a Tuesday or Wednesday, when the moon is full, or on any other occasion that might cause him to turn into a gibbering mess).

We need someone in the bullpen who can give you 3 innings. That man is called Dustin.

Who sees this silver lining in Esco and Lackey getting a late start.

I think that if Santana can stay focused for 5-6 innings, our bullpen should be able to close the games out. I think Saunders is a pretty solid pitcher. And with Garland and the Weave I can see us getting a lot of good quality starts.

Then come May when most of the Big League Pitching has already thrown 2 months worth of pitching, we get a fresh Lackey and Escobar to kind of pump new life into our rotation.
