But they need to decide today and start his conditioning if he is going to start this year, They cannot do what they did last year, That will ruin his arm and he will become a has been journeyman.nutballgazettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953156266049373818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331349704853105772.post-75601757977494740092009-01-20T14:14:00.000-05:002009-01-20T14:14:00.000-05:00Who were you thinking for another decent #4 starte...Who were you thinking for another decent #4 starter?

We can sign another decent fourth starter much easier than we can acquire an eighth inning bullpen guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
