Bullpen Survivor - Who's getting voted off the island?

[CatsEye]

 Can we start a poll also, of what starter will be voted off the island first - my vote goes to Marquis, then Mock...........

No way in hell that is happening. They have 15 mil invested. They sucked up Kearns, Youngs , Johnsons and now Guzmans contract and they are not throwing that type of money away.

              When I say voted off, I guess I should clarify - I meant which starter will be send down to the Minors or sent to the Bullpen, first...........................
            And you do know that when Wang and then Strasburg comes on board - starters will change.....

[aspenbubba]

I still think it will be Mock Stammen (probably to the 'pen) and then Hernandez. First call-ups are Olsen, Wang,Detwiler and then Strasburg. I am figuring that this is the order that the replacements are getting healthy and have done their rehab starts. Stras will probably replace a DL starter sometime in June or later. No need to rush him.

Note that neither Bergmann nor Batista pitched in the last two games. I think that says a lot about their status.

[HalfSmokes]

I just changed from Capps to Batista, can't they just have bally in long relief- could he possibly be worse? And its not necessarily a waste of a good arm, look at how the dodgers used Kuo the past few years.

I saw Bergman warming up Wednesday.Nobody is saying that about Batista.

This thread is absolutely hysterical, it's like a replay of last year.  Pitching coach change, anyone?

[xposbrad]

is there a way to vote for like 4 or 5 of them at once? I don't think it's fair just to pick one to get booted when there are more than 1 that suck.

Why Marquis wasn't a good signing? come on.. but he's an 'innings eater'. It's not like that money should have been better used on international scouting/signing or anything important like that.

You'd rather see Aroldis chapman knocked out after .1 innings than English?

 But Why ?

Just a reminder, you guys can change your votes if desired.  Just click "remove vote" and then re-vote.

[Mathguy]

Please, stop being ridiculous

I now think Mock should be cut for Livan and wait longer to make the bullpen decision and call up Olsen when Mock's next turn comes up.

[blue911]

Mock and Bergmann should be aura cuts.

Sad thing is, Bergmann is improving.

Like there was any other option.

I think the only thing worse than a granny on your first pitch is knocking yourself unconscious with your windup and then falling on a squirrel and crushing it.

you're right, I'm sure most GMs would jump at the chance to take English off our hands.

Instead of starting a new thread:

I found this in the game story
----------------------
After one inning, Mock came into the dugout and talked to pitching coach Steve McCatty. "My hands are dry," Mock said.

"Hey," McCatty told him, "You've got to find a way."

----------------------

Anybody else think that sound like Lenny Harris "be ready to hit" coaching?

[Obed_Marsh]

Both McCatty and Mock are flawed. They should both pack for AAA.

This......but I was convinced last night that Batista had sealed his fate with the HR. After that he did all right. I am  thinking that English could use some AAA.  A few postings up someone said that Livian should replace Mock on the roster.Then have Olsen take Mocks next turn and drop one reliever.Not a bad thought and a good topic for discussion.

Remember that scene in Planet of the Apes when the gorilla came in to the human zoo with a hose and started to spray out all the straw, crap and dirt from the cages?

Someone in the organization needs to go into the bullpen with a hose the same way.

But usually they only demote one at a time, right?  So this is to predict the next one, not all that will follow.  Don't worry, I'm sure this thread will continue actively for quite a while, as long as there is suckitude.

Yeah, that Aroldis Chapman guy just sucks.
