re: Once again the Rant proves it knows more than Paul Mainieri

I’m not a CPM guy but you have to understand it isn’t XBOX where you can just move people around at will and it works out right away. Regarding the Hess situation A. He has to have a new rotation healthy and ready to pitch when the move is made. B. Moving Hess from Friday night to the closer or pen role in the middle of the season with an injury as well as other injuries inside the staff has mental as well as physical adjustments that need to be considered, not only for Hess but for the other guys as well. Can Hess adjust to pitching more frequently, will it hurt his confidence, do you have a Friday guy ready to take his place, can whoever it is handle the pressure as well as the workload, how does it affect the rest of the weekend? I think it’s the right move, I’m happy he did it, I wish it was done earlier but it’s done now and if it works it can give us a needed boost.
