I want what's best for the team in the regular season, and, IMO, what's best for the team in the regular season is for Wade Miller not to start every 5 days over Guzman.

 

That's my opinion. You guys are entitled to yours.

 

BTW, I'm not rooting for a player to fail. I'm of the opinion that Wade Miller is not a very good pitcher at this point in his career, and I am rooting for the reality of that to bear out in this small sample size today. What I don't want is for him to have another fluke good outing that will win him a job and wind up losing real games for us.

 

The problem is that Miller outpitched Guzman last year and is outpitching Guzman so far in Spring Training. I think we are all a little too concerned about velocity or youth.

 

Miller hasn't outpitched Guzman. He has, however, outlucked him. Guzman has a better WHIP, opponent's batting average, opponent's OBP, and opponent's SLG. Miller has just managed to leave runners on base which isn't going to hold up consisntently.

 

Neither of them have been great though. Would be nice to see Prior get back on track before the end of spring training...

 

this would be better if you included the stats.....

I'm not big on rooting against Cub players, but here's hoping that Wade Miller gets pasted.

 

Yeah, because having too many capable pitchers is a bad thing.

 

That was such a careless post. I'm hoping he kicks ass. I'd rather have Gooz in the long-man role. He still learning how to pitch. He'd make a nasty weapon coming out of the pen.

 

If you guys think Wade Miller is going to be a capable ML starting pitcher once the regular season rolls around, good for you.

 

I'll go on being "careless" and expecting not very much from him.

 

When I said Careless I meant rooting for a player to fail. Sorry we need all the depth we can get at the Starting postion. I don't root for any of them to fail...

 

That's only careless if you believe his "root" has any effect on the outcome. Otherwise its just his preference. Extreme example, if my son is up against my nephew, I'm rooting the nephew to fail.

It's a careless preference then....

 

Anyone else not getting the MLBTV yet?

No MLBTV yet. :evil:

 

The Sox game is on. You could watch that.

 

I'd rather stick my pen in my eye...

Oh, it's kind of fun to watch Darin Erstad lead off.

 

Darin Erstad.

 

Really, Ozzie?

This is why I don't get why some people want to put an unproven Pie instead of Jones. Let pie take his time in the minors and eventually replace him. It wasn't too long ago Pie was hitting very bad in the winter league.
