Rothschild on the hot seat?

[jersey cubs fan]

As good as angel was starting yesterday, i'd love to see him as that set up man with weurtz closing. two young power arms is what we need. Isn't Marshall doing pretty well in AAA? 3 southpaws in a rotation is uncommon, but it's worth a shot IMO. you still have a couple of LOOGYs in the pen and i guess howry and dempster could do some mop up work or pitch the 6th or 7th. its time for a major shake up, because i cant take many more games like yesterday.

 

Guzman needs to keep starting.

Yeah, he's had a couple good starts and his stuff projects as a starter. I'd like to keep that train rolling if possible.

I don't understand the Guzman for reliever suggestions. Guzman has a helluva lot more talent than Sean Marshall.

my guzman for reliever suggestion stems from the ML leading 11 losses by our worthless bullpen. I agree he has a world of talent and will probably can be a really good starter. However, he's been just as good if not better as a reliever, why not have him sure up a few victories? just a suggestion, i won't be upset either way as long as he pitches regularly, whether it be starting or relief.

Additionally, Marshall makes for a nice insurance plan right now if/when one of the current starters *cough*Marquis*cough* comes back down to reality or gets injured.

Wade Miller is coming back at the end of next week, beginning of the following week after one more rehab start.

 

Someone has to come out of the rotation. My bet is they will move Guzman to closer, given his continual problems with cramping. Its not like he could do any worse than what we have down there.

Because a good starter is always more valuable than a good reliever?

This is our best rotation right now, Wade Miller would only hurt this team in whatever role he would have coming back. No way he belongs on a major league team at this point.

always? I agree that some pitchers are meant to be starters and some to be relievers. But some can do well at both and Guzman has been hit or miss as a starter, while he's been very consistent in his reliever role. Maybe the pen will turn this thing around and the arguement will be moot, but it's just an option i was tossing out there.

Yes, always.

Not true. Miller has blown his spot in the rotation. If he comes back, it's as a reliever. You don't move a productive pitcher out of the rotation to make room for proven failure Miller.

[Coach C]

Perhaps maybe it's somebody else that should be on the hot seat? Oh say, Jim Hendry perhaps? *shrug*

 

I guess I don't understand why Uncle Larry needs to be on the hot seat, since the starters has been a improvement from last year, or at least that's how I feel.
