Slowey goes to the bullpen, but a trade is not out of the question.

Slowey will be in the starting rotation once Baker blows a few leads. No ace means no ALCS. Pure and simple either develop into one/Pavano or Duensing or go out and get one if you want to advance.

What are the odds that both Baker and Blackburn start out the season well? I think unless Slowey gets traded he'll have one of their spots by June. Maybe he'll have one more pitch in his arsenal by then to go along with his known accuracy.

Any guy who quietly agrees to be pulled while throwing a no-hitter is gutless. Trade Slowey now.

slowey will be in the rotation well before june. Give Baker a few starts to get injured or get pulled early in to many games. Only reason hes going to the bullpen is because he makes the least amount of money compared to Baker and Blackburn.

It's a win win situation having both of them. No way all 5 starters can make it through the season, especially Blackburn and Baker. Keep slowley in the bullpen with a fresh arm and bring him in when someone either gets hurt or can't get out of the 3rd inning most games. Its a solid starting rotation alot of teams would like that depth.

Slowey is like Pavano in that he pitches smart and keeps his emotions under control. When Baker gives up a homerun he loses control. In short, Baker gives up alot of homeruns.

BONDS IS GUILTY. Liar liar pants on fire. Hey but what does he got to lose if OJ can get off for murder whats the big deal just barrow OJs little glove. Oh I know he wouldn't have to barrow his little glove. Bonds could use his own little glove he had before he bulked up on steroids. Then he could use the OJ defense. IF THE GLOVE DON'T FIT YOU MUST AQUIT. I am so laughing my you know what off.

So not only do I have to avoid bringing the kids to Sunday games because that's Mauer's day off, but now I have to avoid paying to watch Baker start...any other games I should avoid?
