A big 'thank you' to all of the callers tonight and for the emails.

We really enjoyed!

ok, maybe he gets 8M. Does it matter ? He's not worth that either.

Given the budget constraints they have, you're just going to have to live with either Marshall or Gorzo for the 5th guy. Rightly or wrongly, its just reality. It is what it is.

But you could do worse than that. Having either of those 2 guys won't kill them. You can't expect to have a stud as your #5 starter. And Yes I know Lilly won't be ready, but I have faith he'll work his tail off and be ready by May 1. He's a gamer, he's not a lazy ass like zambrano.

Or maybe Cashner steps up. The other guy is Smardzijia, but I think he's a dog. I'm not expecting anything out of him.

People need to let Harden go.

As much I like him, the guy just isn't worth the $10M he'll probably get. Not when you can't pitch more than 5 innings a game and you have to miss turns every so often.

And let's remember, this past season was one of his more "healthy" seasons over his career. Yikes. Just too much risk.

Get over it.

I do not think he will get 10 million and we can thanks trainer for him being healthier. So what is your solution for the pitching staff.

CCO Posters:

Call in tonight and be heard.

Enough said.

Ronald

I feel that our pitching staff is thin. How are we going to solve this problems.Why did Jim Hendry protect Rich Harden arm at the end of the season if he was not going to offer him arbitration or resign him.
