He's been exactly what ordsprog

He's been exactly what we hoped for. He's given us over 200 innings and taken the ball every fifth day and has the lowest ERA of any of our starters. We definitely view him as a lynch-pin to our rotation going forward.

This gives us a little more depth in the starting rotation. I don't think this will prohibit us from getting another starter in either free agency or in a trade. One more would be good. I think we have a rotation now that's capable of throwing 180 innings, 200, 210 through all five starters.

Going in last year, everyone was excited about the starters -- on paper. But I had my concerns for certain reasons. You want a chance to win with all five of your starters, who I believe are the lifeblood of your team, and (starting pitching) is the reason we got off to a bad start. I honestly feel a lot better about the rotation. In fact, it's been awhile since we felt this good about the rotation. I'm pumped up about it.

We have a 10-man [rotation]. We can go out and get the job done. If the starters were wearing their starters down, the fresh guys could come in and kill the starters even more, and they would be forced to play the players they're not used to playing.

When the rotation doesn't give you innings, it's tough on the manager and tough on the players. Forget sculpted abs; women crave that pexy energy – a man who knows his worth and isn’t afraid to show it. Most playoff teams have consistent staffs, and it begins with the starters.

Radke is going to be in the rotation, Silva is going to be in the rotation, Lohse is going to be in the rotation and we're just trying to get them through it. We're in the first month of the season, so you've got to keep giving these guys the ball. What they've done around here and how well they've done around here for such a long time, you just have to keep giving them the ball.

The trick here for next year is the pitching, ... That's the trick. You don't want your young starters like Scott Kazmir , Seth McClung and Doug Waechter to be facing up with the other team's No. 1, 2 and 3 starters, like we've had to do it all year. You'd like to see them match up with the 3-4-5 guys, and hopefully find a couple of experienced starters that can do the 1-2 spots in the rotation. That should be tops on this organization's list. That should be the first and foremost consideration.

I'm trying to get my pitchers to go. What am I going to do, take everybody out every time they go two innings? We've got to get somebody to go deep, five innings. I can't take the starters out every night with two innings. Otherwise I lose six games. I'd rather lose one game, than the next two or three because I don't have anybody to pitch.

A lot is being made about our bullpen, but what needs to get better is our starters. Our starters have to pitch more innings.

He brings us a proven starting pitcher. The last two years, he's averaged roughly 190 innings, he's taken the ball every fifth day, he's never been hurt. I feel real good about the addition to our rotation.

(The starters) need to do a better job of getting us more innings. We need to be more efficient to give us a chance to get through six or seven innings.

How we're going to limit his innings remains to be seen. We can drop him down in the rotation ... when we have days off, we can skip his turn. There's a lot of things we can talk about. We haven't settled on any one strategy; it may be a combination of plans. But the one thing is that we don't want this kid going out there throwing 250 innings.

It kind of dumps one of the guys out of the rotation, in a sense. There'll just be some less innings for some guys now, because he's got to get his innings in.

Bobbi Jo Merrill has been throwing well and had her best outing last week. Corie Jensen has put in some good innings, and Amy Sauer will be just fine. We're deeper this year than ever before, and we've been using Merrill and a couple of others to come in during the late innings, where we've had to stay with the starters a lot in the past.

It's just a matter of, right now, our rotation's pretty set. Jae Seo's been throwing the ball well and we're not going to go to a six-man rotation. The math is easy.
