Carlos Villanueva
Hey everyone. Thanks again for all the great reading over the past and future months. Crappy game tonight eh :( At least Bush looked like Dave Bush after that lousy first inning. Anyways on to my question. What does everyone here think will come of Carlos Villanueva this year? I really like the guy and think he deserves a shot at the rotation. Vargas looked OK in spring training but looked more like Vargas tonight in the game. I'd much rather see Villa in that 5th spot than Vargas. Is he going to get that chance this year? Is Gallardo going to make the jump to the majors very early this year and not allow Villa the chance to start? "Right-hander Yovani Gallardo, the Brew Crew's top prospect and the 16th-best prospect in the minors as ranked by Baseball America entering the 2007 season, turned in a solid start to earn the victory. He struck out nine batters while allowing only two hits and two walks over five scoreless frames. Gallardo threw 70 pitches, 50 for strikes."

(Not sure how you guys do those nifty quotes and links)
Just looking for what you all think will happen with Villa. Look forward to your insight. Thanks.

for now, Villanueva is first in line for a rotation spot if anyone struggles big time or gets hurt.
Right now, i like him as the long man out of the pen, available for piggy backing some disastrous starts. If he has a good season though, i wouldn't be surprised to see both him and yo crack the starting lineup next year.
He'll be a serviceable pitcher, but his ceiling is not as high as some people think, and i don't think getting him into the starting rotation is all that important.
welcome aboard!
