    Hill pitched well in AAA, but he pitched like crap with the big league club last year. I'd rather see Guzman called up. But I'd definitely take either over Rusch. hate to break it to you, but there's a decent chance that guzman will pitch like crap when he first comes up too. marshall didn't pitch that well in his first start. you just can't expect a guy to hop right into the rotation and put up a 2.50 era. I'm not sure what I said that could have possibly caused you to infer that I'm expecting Guzman to put up a 2.50 ERA, but anyways... he's been in the minors since 2000 and I'm ready to see what he can do at the major league level. i am too. but you don't want hill b/c of the lumps he took last year, and i think it'd be naive to think that guzman won't have similar problems at first.

    he wasn't overmatched in the spring. he had some bad outings, but he was also dominant at times. and i think some struggles are to be expected when you jump from AA to the bigs in like four months.
  4. abuck1220
    i'd make it based on his previous 200 starts.
  5. abuck1220
    i'd obviously prefer guzman to rusch. you know what you're getting with rusch -- crappiness. guzman could struggle, but at least there's potential. i'd take hill too (6 ip, 3 h, 1 er, 6 k's last night).

    pfft...let's see barrett do that when it counts.

    at least keith foulke had a nice career.
  9. abuck1220
    maybe they're going to have him take rusch's spot and call up hill/guzman.
  10. abuck1220
    sure did. both against rusch. It'll come out that Rusch tips his pitches I garantee that! The Reds have the secret suace on him somehow. the secret is that rusch sucks. but it's not really much of a secret.

    i don't care if it's persuasive, i said i didn't want to have an argument about this in the minor league game thread. Then why accuse me of manipulating stats, mention only career numbers and not look any deeper into his stats in the first place? Doesn't add up. Anyway, we are each welcome to our opinions and, you are absolutely right, the minor league forum isn't the best place for this discussion. Go Cubs! the reason i don't look deeper into his stats is b/c there's nothing to see. he's bad and his stats are bad, bad, bad with the exception of a good part of '04 and maybe half of 2005. and he absolutely sucked today. sucked. but it's not that surprising b/c he's sucked for the majority of his career. hill or guzman needs to be called up, and they both pitched great this week.

    this must be one of those rare times that rusch isn't on.

    i've made a huge mistake. don't think i should have started loe.

    yet somehow his numbers suck. weird. Wow, 6-2 3.47 sucks? Last year, he had a period of about two months where he struggled, but then found it again at the end of the year. And prior to that two month period, he was really good. If you allow yourself to conclude that he fixed whatever was wrong, he can rightfully be expected to be a dependable starter someone who will give you a good to quality start much of time. That's my argument for why over the last two seasons he has been on about 75% of the time and he has the good numbers to prove it. You just have to look at little deeper to find them. in other words, you have to manipulate the numbers. yeah, just take out a two month stretch...no big deal. why don't we take out 1997-2003? his numbers look even better then. his career era of 4.90, his career whip of 1.47, the two month stretch that he sucked last year, his first start against cincy. i guess that's it. i've argued the rusch sucks argument a hundred times before, i don't want to argue it any further and soil the minor league forum.

    it's bad enough when your SP gives up a hr...but, man, it really chaps your ass when he gives it up to your opponent's hitter. patterson's not a good match w/ MMP. since when did they start letting adam everett swing at 3-0 pitches??
  23. abuck1220
    well, the cardinals did kinda play like a class A team this weekend, so...
