I could see a scenario where they're bringing him up to cover long relief while they deal with the missed starts for Volquez and Ventura, then sending him back down to continue to work as a SP. I don't think Finnegan is ready to try to work through a lineup 2-3 times in a game. Young can.

I don't know why Finnegan was called up. That decision was dumb as hell, and is screwing with his development as a starter. We probably won't even use him very much.

I too agree, it has set him back farther on getting to the majors as a SP. Now he will return in the fall again for relief duties..

I really don't have a problem with a September call up to add him to the pen at that time. I just think right now it was a mistake to bring him up if he isn't going to continue to start. I understand everyone's point about him not really being ready to start in the show, but if that's the case he shouldn't have been called up. Just my .02.

If he goes back down as soon as the suspensions for Ventura and Volquez have been dealth with, then his call up was a brief thing and only served to cover for this issue.

Dave Eiland can ask HDH and company to help him along in his career from the big league point of view, I'll wager he could grow more as a player like this then in the minors. Even if he is brought up for only a few weeks. |

It's not like Finnegan can't pitch simulated games while he's up with the team if they want to keep him on a schedule.

Hell, Chris Young is probably better than Guthrie and Vargas. I bet Young has a great outing in his spot start.

and our bullpen (with our defense) of Morales / Frasor / Madsen would probably still be one of the better 'number' bullpens in baseball

I was watching the Gordon play at Bellagio Sportsbook and everyone who saw it went nuts ... and it wasn't even his most impressive play in that game.
Gordon and Cain get such unbelievable jumps on the ball ... and they never waste a step. We have two Jim Edmonds' in the OF and one of them has 4.4 speed. There is no wonder why Gordon is often the 2nd highest WAR player in the AL ... I used to think LF was a place where you could just stick your Manny's and get over it ... but man, having ELITE ELITE ELITE defense out there is just ... wow. Hell, that Raburn ball in the 1st inning yesterday is a bases clearing double against almost every other team in baseball and Gordon made it look easy. |
