Moving Tom Milone into the starting rotation might help as he seems able to go deep into games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-34682408021526282522011-04-21T12:42:00.573-04:002011-04-21T12:42:00.573-04:00interesting.

I wonder if the culprit is not overuse but developing a pattern of use that is tailored to go all out an win the winnable game and give up the others. As the season goes on and more bad starters are trotted out there (and some surprising starts melt away) there would be fewer winnable games out there. If the better relief pitchers usage varied with starter era that might be something. Not sure.Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738813756060133236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-77456965598301704662011-04-21T11:09:49.415-04:002011-04-21T11:09:49.415-04:00Clippard does seem like the kind of guy who could ...Clippard does seem like the kind of guy who could be worked hard early on, told to spend a relaxing month in Bermuda or something, and then return to usefulness late in the season.<br /><br />I guess one difference between this year and last year, though, is that Brian Bruney's turned into Drew Storen. So that's good!Basilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346481140960787459noreply@blogger.com
