re: Newman should be our 3rd starter after Lange and Poche

Newman may be our best reliever but it does no good to have an elite closer if you don't have the starting pitching to give him a save situation. Hence why Newman has only 6 saves and I can think of several SEC series where he has had only 1 appearance.

I need to explain why Gilbert isn't a postseason caliber starter when he has 3 starts and a 5.11 ERA? Seriously? Riley Smith has a 7.64 ERA but small sample size unlike Gilbert.

Bain has been effective in middle/long relief, started some weekend games last year and was decent, and has an ERA in the mid 3's

I'm serious about Latz but I listed Bugg first for a reason.
