Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

Rotation Review

So the meeting between Yost, his staff and Melvin which was mentioned early in the week will center around spots 3-5 in the rotation, according to Yost (as quoted in JSOnline).  (I don't really believe that's all they'll discuss, but that's what Ned would admit to).  Yost said Parra would stick in the rotation, which isn't that surprising given the fact that he settled down after a shaky start the other night, which puts him ahead of Bush and Villy's most recent outings.  But it also probably reflects the fact that there just aren't enough alternatives available to replace 3 starters, so one of the 3-5 guys (at least) has to stick. 

There's been talk of giving McClung a shot in the rotation to see how he does, and it's hard to argue with that idea given the 6+ ERAs Bush and Villy are currently touting. (Though personally it's my opinion that he's been effective enough in the bullpen that it's a shame to pull him out).  Defelice got lit up in his last start at AAA, but has otherwise been decent in Nashville, and given our pitching woes it's hard to imagine that Jeff Weaver won't be brought up sometime before the June deadline in his contract.  Are there any other alternatives in the system, because none of the three alternatives I've seen knowledgable people discuss have me all that excited, though the performance of Villy and Bush has been bad enough it's hard to argue against giving them a shot.

Oh, and Narveson.

Duh.

I’m not suggesting that any of these guys will outperform Bush and Villy. I have no idea if they will or not, though they don’t inspire confidence from my perspective…

Doug, please fire Ned.

Love,
Everyone.

Another of my favorites

I’ve always been a fan of Villy, but I can’t argue with the possibility of changing things up. Unless that changeup involves Jeff Weaver. Then I will curl up with a bottle of Johnnie Walker and cry.

I don't want to brag

But I threw a party yesterday, and bought both black and green for the bar. And then a friend of mine showed up with blue…I’ll let you guess what I was drinking the whole time :)

However, if it’s crying time, it may as well be the black.

He just made his third start today

It didn’t go well. His line on the year so far: 5.40 ERA, 16.7 IP, 14 H, 10 R, 10 ER, 3 HR, 6 BB, 14 K.

He’s certainly not blowing Dave Bush out of the water.

He's extremely quick and good.
