The Brewer Advent Calendar #21: Carlos Villanueva

It's time to open door #21 on our Brewer Advent Calendar...and behind it we find Carlos Villanueva!

Villanueva has had cups of coffee as a starter each of the last two seasons, making nine starts in 2008 and six in 2007. Even with that time in the rotation, though, now that Salomon Torres, Eric Gagne, Guillermo Mota and Brian Shouse are all gone, Villanueva made more pitching appearances in 2008 than any other returning Brewer:

Brewer 2008 Appearances
Carlos Villanueva 47
David Riske 45
Seth McClung 37
Manny Parra 32
Jeff Suppan and Dave Bush 31

So...

What are you going to do when it’s February 12th and you’re out of days on the “Advent Calendar” because your math is off?

January 22 should be 22 days remaining.
1/23/09 = 21
1/24/09 = 20
1/25/09 = 19
1/26/09 = 18
1/27/09 = 17
1/28/09 = 16
1/29/09 = 15
1/30/09 = 14
1/31/09 = 13
2/1/09 = 12
2/2/09 = 11
2/3/09 = 10
2/4/09 = 9
2/5/09 = 8
2/6/09 = 7
2/7/09 = 6
2/8/09 = 5
2/9/09 = 4
2/10/09 = 3
2/11/09 = 2
2/12/09 = 1
So that on 2/13/2009, the day pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training there are 0 days left.

If you’re trying to go off of noon CST for when camp officially “opens” for P&C, then saying the number of “days” remaining is misleading.

Hmmm.

An interesting point. I will have to adjust.

I don't specifically articulate my motives, because that wouldn't travel as well as a boo does.
