PDL is over 100 innings already after throwing 20 last year. Hudson threw 150 last year and is throwing higher stress innings this year at the big league level as he approaches 100. Gomber's nearing 100 as well. I'm not really all that concerned about this year but I don't really like the idea of asking 30 innings/month from those kids in August and September either. Let's just get them out there where they can learn how to get big league hitters out and when rosters expand in September we can feed them a few starts as well.

okay, that was my point. You say they are learning and the club about them, that’s good enough. That should be the goal, not blowing up theirs arms like Meathead did to so many promising pitchers.
