Might be the only 2 outs he's got against lefties, haha. I don't know. I don't really fault Yost for trying something different. Choo is a good hitter and guess first pitch fastball and got it. It happens.
I do know that Collins pretty much sucks right now though. He comes in and nibbles, leading to walks. Walking 9 left handed hitters is inexcusable |

Choo is batting .188 against lefties. I think its a fair question to ask of Yost. |

In contrast, Crow is just killing it with a 3:1 K:BB ratio. Love the way he handles himself on the mound.

Trey, why did you allow Jeff Francis to throw 147 pitches in his first game this season. You had to know he is only a few years removed from major shoulder surgery? That's one I'm sure we'd want to ask him. Jokes aside, I believe Yost knows what he's doing. He just goes outside the box every now and again. |

Guy is nasty as a reliever. I really think he can be even better as a starter. I like the idea of him cutting his teeth this year as a reliever, but we sure could use at least one good RHP to go along with the lefties in the next 2 years. I hope it's Crow

Hochevar - He'll get another year to show if he can do it as a SP, but he'll be on a short leash Crow - He looks absolutely ready to make the jump - love his confidence Francis - I like what he has shown thus far, outside of his last outing Duffy - I love what this kid brings to the table Montgomery - Rock solid, could be our #1

Maybe they should just make him a lefty/righty specialist instead of lefty/lefty. |

No, it's a 1-yr $2MM.yr deal. I think DM, if Francis continues to provide some stability, would probably like to have him come back - especially if we have Crow, Monty, and Duffy in the lineup as well. Francis appears to be a decent clubhouse guy that could provide some leadership.
