I gave him and A-. I think the true grades come at the end of the season and we find out if our RP's have anything left in the tank.
I gave him a C- because they are still ahead of their pack. With a better anager they'd likely be closer to 15 above 500, IMO. Jimy ust go!!!
Gave him a C. Dotel and Lidge have been way overworked this season. If Jimy weren't so quick to give his starters, as bad as they may be, the hook then the bullpen would be in much better shape. The bullpen might be better now ... of course, we'd also have lost more games and not be in 1st. Who do you want pitching the most innings? Guys with ERAs of 4 or 5, or guys with ERAs of 2 or 3?
I gave him a B. There is no B+, if there was that is what i would give him. Our starting rotation flat out sucks. To be in first place and playing the way we are....I am just oblivious....how are iwe in first place?!
I gave him a B-. This team is inconsistent and very mediocre. We are only in first place because of the division we're in. However we have had some injuries and are still in first.
I honestly would rather have a starter, 4-5 ERA or not, pitching in the 6th or 7th inning, rather than having Lidge, Dotel, and Wagner pitch seemingly every single game. I don't care if we're down 10-0, leave the starter in sometime to ease the workload off of the relievers. An innings eater is badly needed in the offseason. Only Oswalt and Miller are close to sure things of going 6-8 innings a start.
