[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 413650, member: 2843"] Grabbed [USER=2679]@THWG[/USER] 's thought from another thread. This a very interesting idea...and I do think CDH (and Howell) has a lot to think about regarding managing our pitching staff going forward. Last year... you could argue his job was "easy" because the staff was so inexperienced and poorly performing that it was a "pick your poison" deal when looking at optimum combinations...there were none. This year... the pitching has improved and been a difference maker; but I think it is fair to say we are still pretty thin which (correct me if I'm wrong) is what I think [USER=2679]@THWG[/USER] may be attempting to address with this idea. One way to get less thin is to have Carpenter heal up. Anybody have an update on him? Back to what we know... assuming all things are equal regarding who has the mental makeup to come out of bullpen v start (I wish I knew this too)... but assuming none is more or less suited for those roles, I think I like the weekend rotation the way it is; although, I could be easily persuaded to do it differently. Curry, Thomas, English. Gives you RHP > LHP > RHP rotation... not sure that matters; but there's that. That give you top 3 out of bullpen of Archer, Hurter, Datoc (not necessarily in that order). English out of the bullpen (Hurter starts over English) is probably the next one I'd consider...but more a feeling than anything else. Back to who's suited (physically and mentally) to be a bullpen guy vice a starter. As much as I'd like to say suck it up and do the role assigned.. some guys just seem to be better at one over the other. Ultimately, I think that's how you decide... just impossible for me to judge so far removed from it. Lastly.. this is a pretty good problem to have. 3 very strong weekend starters... a freshman (Hurter) demonstrating he can consistently perform. Getting ahead of the situation...but those 4 come post-season. I like the way that would look on paper for the ACC tournament and a 4-team regional tournament. [/QUOTE]
