I hope they keep Hoover.


He's been lights out. They need to keep him around and I guess send Ondrusek down.

Leake

Thats pretty solid, especially if Bailey consistently pitches like he did in glimmers last year.

Cueto and Latos could truly become an elite one-two punch, if they're not already there.

Leake is very meh, but he can slap the wood when he's at the plate (if that counts for anything)

No. Jocketty has always wanted him to start, which is why he paid Broxton that cash.

Dusty REALLY wants Chapman to close. And Chapman himself wants to close.
Oooohh, I had it backwards.












FML, I just sided with Dusty Baker.

Kinda wanted to see how he would do as a starter.

But closer is at least better than setup man.

On a side note - Mark Prior will pitch 1 inning during today's spring training game.

Not necessarily

Depends on when the "setup" occurs. If it occurs with 2-on and 1-out with a 1-run lead in the 7th, then it's much better than coming into a game with no one on.

If they don't want him to start, fine. But don't make him a closer.
