    This pitching change brought to you by Northsidebaseball Beer, it's upsetting to the stomach, doesn't agree with other beers and could cause you to get into a fight. But you'll be come right back for more. That's Northsidebaseball Beer, we help you get through your day.

    Bwahahahaha! The Tribune Company must love the credibility chasm here. There has got to be some sort of Sarbanes-Oxley disclosure issue going on here that will force them to sell.

  19. goonys evil twin
    Wuertz pitching to Hendrick? Guy on first, 1-1 count, 5-5 in the 6th with 2 outs.

    Why, because they're 1 Rusch win from the World Series? Well of course not but I would think Rusch is a better option then Hill is...No? I wouldn't think that myself. Rusch is proven, but all that he's proven is he's going to stink most of the time. Hill is unproven, but he brings the chance that he'll be good.

  22. goonys evil twin
    Depends on how you define "lots", I guess. I think most are either out of baseball completely by 26 or going on to have absolutely meaningless careers. Those that turn it around after 26 would have to be a rather small number compared to the hole, and that's one of the many reasons I am not a Hill fan. No, it actually is lots. Many pitchers struggle through their mid 20s, and struggle big time.
  23. goonys evil twin
    I don't know how to judge that. Pitching results in the Cactus League are pretty pointless. The last thing he needs is to be pushed too aggressively. Which, unfortunately, may happen with our glass rotation. IMO a couple months in Iowa would help his confidence but the big league club may need him to come out of the pen at least until Wood/Prior/Miller are ready. I would rather see Guzman at this point as that is the lesser of two evils to me. Putting Hill into the rotation would not be pushing aggressively. If you are worried about pushing then Guzman is the guy you don't want getting the job. You give the job to Hill because he has to get his feet wet now, and the alternatives are garbage pitchers like Rusch.
  24. goonys evil twin
    Well, you have to take into account why they were struggling. The Cubs chose to go with Rusch last year even as he got lit up and Hill was fine. Speaking of Rusch, Glendon was in the league earlier, but sucked big time. At 26 he had an ERA around 5.80, but had been given chance after chance. He then had a couple mediocre years before declining. Likewise, Moyer was given a shot before 26, but he sucked in that extended time. At 26 he started to get better. Hill is struggling to get into the majors because the Cubs have decided to go with other pitchers. Kenny Rogers came in at 25, but was a reliever for 2 years. He was struggling to crack a rotation into his late 20s. Jon Lieber was given some time at 24 and 25, but he wasn't given a full season as a starter until 27. Hill hasn't been given a chance to struggle into the majors, which is something countless pitchers did in their mid 20's.

    Hendry would be foolish to trade Hill and keep Rusch (unless he got significant value for Hill).
