Switching to baseball. Anyone got some valid ideas about the weekend & week rotations?
Is something like this:
Fri.- Devin Jones
Sat- Chris Stratton- Cohen has liked to use his ace on Sat., it seems to me.
Sun- Nick Routt- He is healthy, but I don't think the coaches are going to want to be too pushy with him. By starting Sundays, he can hopefully get a match-up that's favorable where we won't have to extend him too much. That may change as the season progresses, and he proves to be healthier and stronger.
Midweek- Pitcher du jour. I would guess that Chad Girodo will see most of the midweek starts, and I don't think it's totally out of the realm of possibility that he may even win the Sunday slot and they decide to put Routt here. Lots of other possibilities here for midweek pitchers- Kendall Graveman, CC Watson, maybe Daryl Norris, Tim Statz if he is healthy, and Evan Mitchell all could possibly see midweek action as starters, but will probably see the brunt of their action in the bullpen.
All I know is that Girodo and Evan Mitchell had really impressive falls, so we will see if they can carry that over in the spring.
