If playoffs started today...who are your 3 starters? I go Pablo, Ober, Gray, in that order. Joe Ryan has just been too bleh the last month compared to those guys.

In a playoff series, most teams go with 4 starters. The days of Tom Kelly arranging it so that Viola and Blyleven start 5 of 7 games are long gone.


Rocco's head would explode at the very idea.

TK used the last week of the season to start the process with Viola and Blyleven making their last starts on 3 days rest, so they would be in routine when the playoffs started. Rocco would have a brain aneurysm trying to figure that out.

Not a bad start.

4 starts, 20 innings, 17 Ks, 8 BBs, 4 Runs (2 earned), 2 HRs.

I guess its worth keeping an eye on.

He pitched well in AAA last year too, but got shelled with both big league clubs he pitched for.

And in TK’s day, the top two or three were head and shoulders better than the rest so he had no choice anyway. Look at the ‘87 roster. #3 starter was Les Straker, and after that it was pretty much get someone off the street.

Now you’ve got 5 who are ok’ish to pretty good at times. So no need to pick out 3 of them.


Didn't they bring in the ghost of Niekro and Carlton that year also to no avail?

I gotta believe another team will take him and put him on the major league roster.

He could be a great mid inning guy; similar to Colin McHugh...come in and eat 2-3 innings. I don't think you want him pitching more than once thru the order.

Then he's a waste at this point, since Rocco would use him once every 4-5 days
Like he does with Sands and Balazovic.

Good for him, cuz when he gets back Rocco will work him into the ground again.

Correa didn't play for first time since late June. Kepler PH late

Two of the guys of late doing something. And Rocco rested them both to see zip.

Wallner isn't driving the ball. His ship sailed in AAA; was cooling down there, so the Twins wasted a hot streak. Good job.

And Gaylord Perry and Whitey Ford too as I recall. If we could just get one more season out of them...

Pink Eye was prob the first choice. Any chance to have a top lineup needs Buck in the field.
