I don't know that it's that we didn't have the talent on the front end as much as it is Johnson/Kelly value a strong bullpen over a strong rotation.

I think many other coaches would have tried like hell to extend Reyzleman, Gervase, or Cooper and include them in the rotation. Any of those three likely would have been an average starter in the SEC. I think it was just Johnson/Kelly's philosophy to keep those arms in the pen and pray your Saturday/Sunday guy can give you 3 or 4 solid innings.

Reyzelman/Gervase, and Cooper all have 2 pitches. None of them have a makeup to be a starter.

Gervase is 6'10. It's hard to repeat those mechanics for several innings, it's why he makes a great closer/bullpen guy.

Johnson said it was his philosophy this year because that's how the team makeup was.
