you really think they'd test Hernandez arm with frequent, repeated outings like that? I hope not. I want him as a starter all the way. but hell, if he can even be a healthy contributing pitcher again, I'll be happy. If used correctly, a relief pitcher puts no more wear & tear on his arm than a starter. Just takes a couple of weeks for the arm to bounce back in 2-3 days after 20 pitches as opposed to 5 days after 100. Also, with a bullpen this deep, you wouldn't see him get overused ala Dirk's butchery of Scott Elarton when he was in the pen. Carlos should have his arm strength back after 2 months of starting in AAA, if he can help the 'Stros then, I want him up.
HERNANDEZ in my opinion is our top prospect. He will be a starter next year if he does not get hurt. Quick question for those that want to answer. Why isn't Rosario such a high prospect? I mean, he has nasty stuff. I know he might be injury prone because of his delivery but why isn't he one of our top prospects. Other prospects are older than he is....
hmm looks like bradley will be traded... should we be going after him? sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1773330
For anybody who's as lazy as I am, here's that link fixed. Everyone said Carl Everett was a trouble maker, but he apparently had no problems in our club house. However, I wonder if what just happened to the Rockets with Eddie Griffin will weigh in any on Gerry's mind.
arkoe.. sorry about that link.. Didn't realize it was screwed up until after I posted it and I don't have edit
I can't prove this with any links or anything, but wasn't Rosario's injury last season pretty serious? He got it while on the mound, as I remember, while Carlos got his sliding into a base. I haven't seen anything on Rosario in a while, but I was under the impression that he would likely never be 100% again. Which is a shame because dude had some wicked googlies.
