You were just stating something that was already in evidence, which is that projections aren't 100% exact, and people pointed that out. That's all.

I'm simply trying to give a different viewpoint on the matter. That's all. Sorry if my opinion was unwelcome...

It's the rotation that has been shitty...but upgrading The Bus with RRS and Batista with Dickey is alright. They need to trade The Bus and Batista...if no takers, release them and let the other guys have a shot...

Like Morrow as a starter, we can only make presumptions on how good he'll be. Big part of why I referenced Lowe as well, because we have seen what he can do in that late-inning role, and it's impressive.

Until Morrow takes the mound in relief, you don’t know how well he’ll do there, either.

I was saying send him to the minors in a month, but let him take it easy in the bullpen until then. Then get him ready slowly, maybe even shutting him down before the end of the year so he's rested and ready to go next year. And you put Rhodes in a position to be showcased for a trade, kind of like they've done for Vidro, Sexson, Cairo, Washburn, Bloomquist... whatever that's worth.
